Wearing a ribbon is a lot different than wearing a pillow looking bandage. It feels a lot like a grift to sell product, especially if the My Pillow Guy was selling them.

I think it speaks to developing for gaming over developing for infrastructure. What does it say about gaming where, a company that has a healthy attitude about work in general, has staff that prefer to work on addressing Steam bugs over working on a prestige game?

Yeah, probably.

That's what Peru tried to tell Ecuador.

I saw this movie. Did it involve bringing kids to outer space and an AI robot that just wanted to help?

That's fine, but someone has to pay for it.

I never said people weren't allowed, but there is this weird obsession about it on Lemmy.

Then cancel and move on.

The way that people talk about it here, a streaming service raising rates is the equivalent of a significant other dumping them.

For now. YouTube is already starting to dedicate serious resources to anti ad blocking. I'm sure other streaming services aren't that far behind.

Yeah. Netflix got really lucky with streaming for as long as they did and they knew it. Cable and broadcast subsidized their content and they were able to lease it for pennies on the dollar.

Of course, people don't want to admit that the subsidy for their content is gone and they are pissed about rising costs.

Just because it is illegal doesn't mean you can't do it.
