    Petition to make Steam accept Monero (XMR)

    Jump

  • Well I agree with the open source aspect of this but they are a us company and us companies have to have some form of traceable payments or at least to attach the payments to an identity whether it be online or your real actual identity so the phone number stuff is never going away.

    And I'd suspect that if they ever did accept monero or other Cryptos as payment they'd have to use a 3rd party payment system like coingate which doesn't avoid the problem of 3rd party payment processors overstepping their boundaries.

    If they set it up to where they did it all themselves the IRS would almost certainly make them KYC you to accept any crypto payment.

    It would still be awesome to happen though because even though it wouldn't be completely anonymous it would avoid dickhead corporations trying to control my thoughts through controlling what kind of media I can consume.

  • Yupp just like every single other aspect of our living here our lives have been made worse to protect the interests of large corporations.

  • "When capacity goes up prices will come back down"

    Loooooool. I know that's how its supposed to work but you're mistaken if you think that they will ever decrease the price. That almost never ever happens.

    My electric company (which is the only one in my area) even started fucking mining bitcoin and they hit us with a surge pricing model charging us even more for the electricity we use not only during daytime but also during summer. I'm sure they say some bullshit about capacity loads or whatever.

    They sure got enough capacity to mine the fuck out of that bitcoin though.

    Greedy fucks, all of them.

  • Places like data centers don't pay the same rate that individuals do though. They get an industrial rate.

    Basically they cut them a break so they can fuck you. The supply is more More than enough and the only demand that increased was from corporate interests.

  • It makes sense if you're a greedy piece of shit that values corporate investment more than the people you serve.

    I'm glad you see that it doesn't make sense though it means you are a good person.

    Respectfully, what the fuck are you talking about. That has never been true ever.

  • As much as everyone here hates it literally the only way to ever do that is cryptocurrency unless you receive precious metals in the mail.

  • Man wtf can we DO about this shit? I'm planning on calling and shit but damn they don't give a fuck.

    Is it too late??

    Do you have to have assloads of money to file a class action suit? Like would steam or GOG or itch be down to be a part of it or is that just a pipe dream.

    I am not promoting it, but I will say that this is the exact reason shit like cryptocurrency exists. Stupid overreaching shit like this.

  • And what's even crazier about that is that Microsoft will literally make it the slowest god damn shitty OS on the planet before they even think about removing all the telemetry and bloatware.

    I truly believe they would let it hit 50/50 people who use linux over Windows over not removing like two features that spy on you.

    They just flat ass wouldn't do it. They know they won't die completely in our lifetimes so they would absolutely let it crumble into a shell of what it used to be before they ever start being user friendly and privacy respecting. I actually think it will eventually destroy them but might take like another 80 years

  • When I got a new desktop PC this year I specifically avoided anything with Intel in it because of how bad they dropped the ball with their GPUs basically disintegrating.

    This is just a small glimpse into how Intel is breaking down from the inside. It may take a few years but if the US government doesn't intervene somehow on their behalf I truly think Intel might be done for in the next 5 years.

  • I have thought of a scenario like this like what if people get so tired of crooked trigger happy cops that they use some sort of app or website or service that can tell you where every single cop is in the city in real time. To avoid them. Something like not just a scanner but an actual interactive real time map.

    Idk if it would actually be possible and maybe not even legal but it is an interesting idea to think about. If such a service existed it would make so much money.
