onbording through apps is good enough that users might not even notice a difference, the main hurdle is understanding the interconnectivity of instances and them actually leaving their jail

Ahh sorry about that, apparently someone made a macos port here https://github.com/ArunyaGoojar/RunAsDate-for-MacOS but it hasn’t been updated in 3 years so no idea if it works

Maybe runasdate ?

entirely dependent on how the trial “checks itself”

Oh that makes sense yeah

Maybe something like the interactive recommender but with a lot more sliders so you can adjust specific aspects https://store.steampowered.com/recommender

Doesn’t the new Steam personalized calendar work for you? On paper it sounds like exactly what you’re describing https://store.steampowered.com/personalcalendar/

those are mostly for gameplay tags, you’re filtering out the Talos Principle games for example

Oh, my source might be wrong then, where did you get the number?

I have yet to see the actual numbers about this, I’m pretty sure it’s worse than what my gut feeling (and anecdotal observation) tells me: I download a TON of demos during Next Fest, it’s my favourite events of the year, so I tend to browse through hundreds of demos sorted by charts.

• February had around 3000 demos and 717 of those has declared using generative AI (keep in mind there’s also a bunch that did NOT declare using it, a lot of Steam capsules artwork are generated by AI despite no disclaimer for example)
• June had 4411 demos (27% more) and 553 of those (12%) has declared using generative AI (27% less) (that can mean either less demos using generative ai OR more demos hiding the fact they’re using generative ai)
• October (current edition) has 6509 registered demos, that’s a huge jump (57% more)

Thank you! I was sad to have missed it

yep

Marketing teams only track engagement on major social media, having a discussion about it on lemmy is not going to impact their metrics or even be considered

I guess some laws can be forgotten. From 1800 to 2013, there was a french law that banned women from wearing pants in Paris : http://www.senat.fr/questions/base/2012/qSEQ120700692.html

The law was repealed in 2015 apparently: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/apr/29/basques-safe-iceland-district-repeals-decree-kill-on-sight

The edict was issued in 1615 after a storm destroyed three Basque whaling vessels on an expedition in Iceland. Eighty members of the crew survived, said Gudmundsson, and were left stranded in the area. “They had nothing to eat, and there were accounts of them robbing people and farmers,” he said.

The brewing conflict between locals and the whalers prompted then-sheriff Ari Magnússon to draw up a decree that allowed Basques to be killed with impunity in the district. In the weeks that followed, more than 30 Basques were killed in raids led by the sheriff and local farmers. “It’s one of the darkest chapters of our history,” said Gudmundsson, noting that the incident known as the Slaying of the Spaniards ranks among the country’s bloodiest massacres.

Four centuries later, Gudmundsson decided it was time to set right the wrongs of history. Last week, at the unveiling of a memorial dedicated to the Basque whalers who were killed, he repealed the decree. “This decision was made 400 years ago and it has never formally been repealed until now.”
