I'm from Argentina, the prices we have now are absolutely ridiculous even with the LATAM USD, an Argentinian might have a monthly income of something around 250-350USD, and some games are something along the lines of 40USD even with the regional pricing, you need to add to that the fact that there is a tax on the dollar of 155%. I assume a normal person from the US earns something along the lines of 1500-3000USD a month, so it's completely incomparable. To give you an idea, physical retro collectible games are cheaper than virtual ones.

I wonder what's the difference between this and Fly Pie, like, why did he stop developing the first and started the latter.

Sometimes it's more than one deep link, I think at some points it's like, the alternative universe starts and it might go on for about 10 pages and then you can go back to the next page of the regular timeline.

Could be, she's been kind of out of the loop for some time so I think that part might be a bit difficult, I think most of what she did was around the 2000s and 2010s.

I guess I could try asking in dbzer0, the lemmy instanne for piracy.

I think it wasn't used enough or not creatively enough in the PS3, the only one that comes to mind is Heavenly Sword and its implementation was a bit poor and I'm unsure if it was the Six-Axis fault.

Bring Six-Axis now /s

They are dropping regional prices, before that you would pay in your regional currency which is far cheaper than paying in USD, plus, a lot of developers don't care about those regional prices or don't care to update them, in those cases you end up paying the same as you'd in the US. What in the US may be a sandwich in the third world can be a big portion of your income.

Here seems to be a recent PR of someone trying to help out with this, maybe you can give a hand? Seems you understand a bit about the topic.

Well, suppossedly what they would offer doesn't seem to change things much:

Future Pricing Plans

We have a few product ideas we have experimented with that would be paid add-ons to the current service: collaborative tools, AI integration, translation tools, and premium text to speech voices. Of these features, the premium text to speech voices are the only one that are currently available in the app, as part of our "ultra realistic voices" beta.

Really cool, would you ever consider contributing to their extension and adding that feature to theirs?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It seems there was an issue with some of the things needed for the extension to be on the store, they already sent the fix to Mozilla and are waiting for them to response, this happened on Friday so most likely they will reply this week.

 

Well, I have to say that Harmonoid is the best one I've found, it has a ton of cool features, it works and it allows you to be able to see your collection by album and it doesn't use Electron. Right now its development has stalled a bit but it's still pretty much in good shape, though.

 

So, basically I'd like to replace the /home with different hard drives. I have a 4tb one that I'm using for videos, a 1tb I'm using for audio files and video games (not the actual game installed there but for example executables or ROMs), and a 500gb I'm using for texts and images. My idea would be to not have the /documents folder and so on and have a drive for everything. Can I do this?

 

Almost 18 months into the war in Ukraine, Europe’s defense contractors — flooded with demand for everything from ammunition to shoulder-launched missiles and combat vehicles — face a dilemma. Do they gamble on expanding production, assuming that the war and tensions with Russia will last indefinitely? Or hold back until they get long-term commitments from governments that have spent the past few decades shaving or even slashing their defense budgets?
