Why would you trust steam? Valve famously invented lootboxes and tried to do the NFT market thing before NFTs were big. They are the strongest DRM on the market. What makes you think they’re not just as greedy?

I mean no, but also… yes? Like having a one person dev team is a little ridiculous for a game selling as well as Manor Lords. 50 people is a lot, but do you really think the game would have less features a year from now if the dev hired like 3 people to help?
Obviously development would slow down in the short term, but a one person dev team is asking for disaster
And one government has international support
I feel like 90+% of the time I use Google, it’s just because it’s more convenient than going to the actual website I want. Like if I want a Wikipedia article about a movie, it turns out it’s faster to type in the movie name in Google and click than go to Wikipedia and search the movie.
It’s okay to kill civilians if you’re the government, but not if you’re the rebels? Is that the logic?
Turning it off right when Ukraine was about to launch an offensive, definitely no collusion there what a coincidence on the timing.
By any means necessary.
So like what’s the actual deal with pirating content nowadays? I remember in the early 2000s it was don’t seed and don’t torrent just-released content and you won’t get caught. Are the companies more rigorous nowadays? Are they going after people and you really do need a VPN? Can you torrent content at a human-watchable pace (like a show or two a month, maybe a movie or two a week) and no one’s going to notice you?
They used to do that for a handful of shows due to streaming contracts, but last time I checked (~2019) it was literally two shows. Is it more now?
Is it the FTC’s fault at all? Lina Khan is doing great work, and the US has fought against Microsoft’s monopoly before. The real problem is the judicial system has no interest in joining this fight.
Lina Khan is staking her career on this one, but the way the US judiciary looks there’s no way Amazon suffers.
I still use Chrome when I need to Chromecast, any way around that?
Reddit admins note: "you’ll receive a new shiny badge on your profile indicating you’re in the program and can earn cash! "
Hoping that reddit mods have the balls to auto-delete all posts from users who are approved for the monetization system. Knowing that they won’t, I’m waiting for the Firefox extension and Revanced patch that auto-censor posts by those users.
Of course reddit will quickly remove that visibility.
That’s not accurate, they don’t stop your benefits when you hit the cancel button. I just cancelled today and have my benefits until the end of my yearly subscription in November.

Exactly, you can’t just drive without verifying that you’re a safe driver. That’s why we have a process to get a driver’s license. Has Autopilot passed licensing?
If you were curious how rich people justify this to themselves and whitewash their behavior:

Doesn’t the fact that a technology is fundamentally discriminatory mean we should question the use of that technology? Not just shrug our shoulders and say too bad?
I mean we’d all kill Hitler if given the chance, wouldn’t we?
