Private companies, especially global ones, have too much power. Isn't it kinda fucked up how a company can overrule laws in multiple countries all over the world, just due to how strong their presence is?

I want more complex games though

Definitively not, this is something that tends to occur at low skill levels in MOBAs, but gets better at higher levels as people figure out how to actually play the strategic layer

I've lost plenty of lanes but came back in the midgame, there's a lot to do throughout the game, early, middle, and late. It's also about your team being able to adapt to the circumstances and execute the correct strategy at the right time taking into account the situation for your team

And people struggling to do this is just a natural part of a competitive game, really. And sure, snowballing is a thing, but so are comebacks.

If you can rally a local community behind you, it's better to look beyond the limitations and negative influences of money

Yes, sometimes it is good to evade the law, because the law might be immoral, for one reason or another, and ranging in severity from not being able to buy weed that helps you, to not being able to flee from a country that might kill you

So there is some legit and morally acceptable use-cases for crypto, but still, it's not much

Crypto actually is really useful for evading the law, yes, and so it's good for donating to underground organizations (or to buy drugs or illegal services)

But that's about the only real use-case as far as I can tell

Why would you think that sysadmins and application devs wouldn't want to use JPEG XL?

I'm a developer and I like the format

Well, a browser is a massive piece of software, especially if you include the development of a render engine as Firefox does

Web standards evolve constantly, you need to keep up somehow, together with optimizations, bug fixing, patching of security vulnerabilities, etc

The alternative is to never have anything better, which is not realistic

Yes, it means more code, but that's an inevitability. We already have lots of legacy stuff, like, say, floppy disk drivers

People don't need to give a shit, you just need websites and servers and applications to produce and convert images to the new format and the rest will happen "by itself'

It should be pretty much invisible to the users themselvea

Maybe the Dems will finally learn that listening to their base helps

Then probably in the next sentence would rant about the violent left

But yeah, I don't get it, I wouldn't wish torture even on the worst people in the world and history, it's just really unnecessary and disturbing
