I’ve read about that, afaik we don’t know how much of a policy it is vs. some random employee going rogue. Hopefully it all comes to light with these lawsuits

The thing is that this is in Steam’s TOS when it comes to steam keys. You can sell steam keys but not at a lower price than on Steam. Which is extremely fair – selling a steam key still means you’re using Steam’s infrastructure, you don’t have to manage the downloads & updates. It does not apply in a situation where you manage your own store with its own infrastructure

But why would they care about supply chain attacks if they already have hacked into the package you’re requesting? In that case, executing python scripts would be less noticeable

On one hand yes, on the other I’m sure we’d all have dismissed people talking about a network of pedophilia linking every important statesperson and billionaires, before all the Epstein stuff came out

It’s so arbitrary that Amethyst used to be one of the most expensive precious stones, before huge mines were discovered and it lost its status

The split of semiprecious vs precious is essentially 18th century marketing BS, it’s not relevant nowadays, even to jewelers.

Some of the most expensive stones aren’t even part of the “precious” stones because they were discovered recently, and since the term is obsolete even to jewelers there’s no one to push the term on those new gems, like Alexandrite (which is more expensive than diamond)

It’s not like Xi isn’t also a Nazi

“Fuck the child” safety act

It would be so fun if Apple and Google decided they’d rather not have business in England anymore

I do like going shopping but that’s because then I get stuff, and having new stuff is cool. But you don’t need a capitalist hierarchy to make any of this happen

If they didn’t go with hall effect sensors, the answer is yes

I don’t know how true it is for where you live OP, but from my POV in western Europe, capitalism propaganda is non-stop. “Competition is good” is science, not a piece of ideology. “Billionaires are innovators” goes mostly unchallenged. “China is evil” is a fact, and when they do something good it must be because of corrupt intentions behind it all.

I agree that this constant rejection of that propaganda would be weird if you don’t live 24/7 with that glazing of capitalism to begin with (which may or may not exist depending on where you live in Africa)

I don’t know where in africa OP is but this conditioning of perpetual capitalism glazing we experience in the west might not be something they have to live with, so the constant need to reaffirm rejection of that capitalist propaganda might seem weird to them.

That’s not a bad result either. But if they have any growth they will need to hire externally

I’m sure there are some fash doing this, but a lot of comments here seem extremely naive and forgiving. And they come from lib instances, which I have grievances with, just not regarding dogwhistling & normalizing fascism (unless it comes out of UA…)

Because there is no way ϟϟ was sent by mistake. This is a character combination that has one use. And is irrelevant to slavic history. And they accompanied it with a kolovrat. This is the guy who invented the kolovrat as a pseudo slavic neopagan symbol. If it was just one ϟ it would be iffy at best, but you know, benefit of the doubt, maybe they copy-pasted a random selection from some random neopagan website. This is the specific combination that has one (1) known use.

The kolovrat alone reeks of neonazism, the ϟϟ is exclusively a nazi symbol, there is no wiggle room

Do you happen to have your GOG account in Germany or in German language?

European.

And you should tell those guys they stole their symbol from 21st century feminists:

People defending this as “those are lighning bolts, not everyone knows it’s nazi imagery” are american, right?

Like, everyone in Europe knows this is strictly and unmistakably nazi imagery, especially in Poland. There is no wiggle room for not knowing; that’s not even an excuse GOG themselves are trying to make, because if they tried to use that excuse then literally no one with the ability to read it in Europe would be uneducated enough to fall for it.

Good Old Games Goebbels

The two SS bolts are ostensibly nazi imagery, there is no way anyone who went to school in Europe in the past century doesn’t know that. Also they skipped sending sending the email to users with German as their GOG language; they knew exactly what they were doing.
