Not defending this from netflix (fuck any corpo), but shouldn’t we do the same with Disney? Or Disney being almost a monopoly is fine for whatever reason?

Oh, my bad. I meant you should reconsider about her being someone they should listen to because she won’t be releasing a new album. Not because she’s not a piece of shit anymore!

Sorry to tell you but you might want to reconsider about Minaj:

I have a very simple mindset: hurting others is bad.

That’s it. That’s all.

But…

I think there is an exception to this: hurting a nazi. By letting a nazi alive, you are endangering other people, as the nazi will hurt others if left free. So even if hurting others is bad, hurting a nazi is in fact good beacuse you prevent damage to innocents. So yeah, hurt a nazi, it’s a good thing for you and for others around you.

“These days”…

Or autistic. Most definitely autistic.

That’s the funny thing. To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on linux, you have to go back in time some few years.

To laugh about something easy being made stupidly complex on windows… you just need to update to the last version.

But won’t you think of the poor insurance company ceo’s? How will they afford their next yatch if you cut them out of the system?!?!

Health insurance premiums are going to cost $28000 from now on.

What we actually need is for european companxes to drop the safety checks dependant on google play services and start using the phone checks only so alternative roms can function properly without depending on google.

It can be done and would allow people to more freely develop and adopt alternatives like grapheneos without hassle.

2026 took away from us the wrong star from Home Alone 2…

Hey don’t laugh people! This is serious! They just tanked 400bln when they could have tanked 1 trillion!

As the great Pratchett wrote: All mushrooms are edible. Some just once.

I guess Gemini used that as base for its answer.

Hey now! My 5yo self watched krull several times and liked it!

There is not a single part of me (not even the 5yo one) that would watch Melania.

Look, you don’t need to demand answers to the turd:

It’s a bribe. That’s it. Your prez took a bribe to cut tariffs to a country.

So the issue is not ICE, but who’s managing ICE.

That’s basically same as saying that the nazis were just following orders.

The issues, Bernie, are both who’s managing ICE and ICE itself. ICE are terrorists, you can’t just say that you will give money to ICE if they remove those two assholes ignoring all the shit each ICE agent has done so far, Bernie.

I wanted to be a paleontologist. Parents worked really hard to avoid that from happenning.

Now I work in OT (operation technologies) on a big company. I mostly tinker with automated proccesses and machines. It’s not at all what I wanted to be but it’s a really good alternative; machines are way easier than people to talk to.

You’ll have to define what do you mean “white male”. I am pretty sure I’m not, given that my skin is not pale-white and my hair is black. And like me, so many south europeans are probably much less white than they think.

At least for humble store, they essentially sell steam keys. Which at least complicates that argument. So it is not really a different distribution channel and the product is available on steam for that price. Just not on the Steam store.

I get this but, for what I know (I might be wrong tho), steam doesn’t get a cut from keys sold externally so they are technically selling them at better conditions elsewhere?

Steam have an effective monopoly here. Even if they have that because all the other platforms are shit. So the argument for just going to another store doesn’t really help as that just causes a massive loss in the market share of who you can sell your game to. Plus if you consider the other requirements of if you sell on steam you cannot make your game cheaper via a different distribution method means that you have to eat that feeling and cannot pass it on to customers. Which does not give game Devs much power to negotiate for a lower fee at all.

I know that but that’s not really steam’s fault? I mean, epic offers lower fees, but they are shit so nobody wants to buy from them; however, that’s not really steam’s fault. You can’t blame steam beacuse the competitors are objectively worse.

EA tried to have a launcher, but they are so bad at it that they’ve come back to steam. That’s… EA’s fault for sucking so bad, not steam fault for being more convenient.

And I say this fully understanding that they have a de-facto monopoly; but the reason is not because they have the only product, it’s because the rest are much wose.
