The Epic games are part of their public (free) release, but GOG is still in beta/alpha and I think you make a one off patron donation or be a part of one of their patreon tiers to access it. Its a solo dev effort with a tonne of time put into it.
Junkstore from the Decky-Launcher can give a close to native experience. Its kind of a paid app though. Otherwise heroic games launcher works well.
I didn't even know about this but I think you're right. I just scrolled through the Calm Piano playlist and the third song down was by an artist with millions of streams, but absolutely zero online presence outside of Spotify and Apple Music. Their about section was just a generic sentence.
I hate this. So the idea is that the cost of creating this music is less than the payout of streaming royalties if they push the songs on their official generic playlists, effectively keeping the money in-house rather than paying to an external artist.. yay..
Agreed. As a person that has released music, I hate this guy and would like the book thrown at him and anyone mass releasing shitty AI music.. It might not be a big corpo doing it, but it's still fucking creatives over.
Exactly. Also, that sort of efficiency is a myth because people can't sustain that workload for more than the time required to upskill and get out of that company. You lose good people with knowledge of your operation doing what Elon does.
On the one hand, government jobs are known to be very cushy compared to industry where the harsh realities of late-stage capitalism are in full swing.
On the other hand, Elon is in no position to fix the government inefficiency problem. He would call for some ridiculously stupid and uninformed decisions to be made based upon his business ethos of nuking (potentially important) things and starting from scratch.
Beautiful architecture and streets. A lot of homelessness and rats everywhere though. Bakery food/breads were fantastic. We found people to be a lot more welcoming in rural France than in Paris.
Didn't go during Olympics, this was pre-COVID.
