Starbound was an example for how to not develop a video game. I feel like the have could have done a lot better if they spent more time trying to refine small parts of the game before building it out.

They wasted so much time redoing work because they developed on poor assumptions and then had to go rip out back out when it failed.

Your should try it again. I heard they added a couple of things.

And that was the end of the wave for invite started social media.

The problem is that it isn’t an intentional design decision. It just happens to be the easiest way to add a “cost” to sign-up.

Pissed.

That won’t happen with its environmental laws unless solar takes over completely.

Colleges haven’t been training people how to read for centuries; it has been assumed that people entering college could read and write with a pen for a long time and college shifted with it.

And the collegiate system wasn’t based on Confucian teaching styles.

Yeah, but part of it is because students complained, the current ranking of universities don’t include quality of undergraduate education, and the public didn’t really understand what college was for when providing funding with strings attached.

You can argue that primary and secondary school was about workforce productivity, but college was designed for leadership training.

Unless the existing staff break down and can’t do enough work to keep the place running, management don’t care.

They’re greedy, not stupid.

The point of an undergraduate degree isn’t knowledge; knowledge is only the first level in Bloom’s Taxonomy, a set of six levels of how people understand different topics.

The problem with the use of AI in college is that students are supposed to get to the application point in undergrad and that college is supposed to provide that practice. Using AI in college is like using a machine to lift weights. Sure, the weights are moved, but it doesn’t benefit the person who needed the exercise.

They are trying a razor and razorblade model. Build out a system for free/cheap to get vendor lock-in and charge through the nose on maintenance while trying to keep out any competition.

Worse, there is likely value in getting access to that data and they likely built the system to make it hard to audit access on their end.

Don’t you understand, the Fediverse is serious business!

Well, the Lemmy devs have stated that their goal isn’t to design a system that scales well and it shows. Part of it is that there may be a future where there are too many new users for a mod team to handle, especially if the barrier for signing up is extremely low.

Maybe, but without Google Play Services, it is going to be effectively dumb for the general population.

I’m not the person who posted it, I’m just explaining the rational as requested.

Most animals raised for meat have been undergone breeding by humans to increase desirable traits at the expense of survivability in nature. Those animals are unlikely to survive in nature.

Even if they could, it would wreck local ecosystems if all meat livestock was freed to nature.

Hello. Nice to meet you too. I hope you like it here.

It is great to see that people in China can participate in this little slice of Internet.

Yeah. If it was just sex, there are states you can go to to get that cleared up.
