Agree. It's not about being smug or entitled or whatever. Getting a simple lemmy client on your phone and signing up for the most basic instances takes literally 5 minutes of reading tops. And that's for non tech savvy readers. If you can't put 5 minutes of effort into an online discussion forum setup, then how can you be expected to put even 5 minutes of effort into a discussion post or in reading an article before commenting?
It's a natural filter indeed. And a good one at that. Keep the short attention spanners who need tiktok level ease of use on reddit.
Is this local only? No clouds reported data?
Haven't seen anyone mention Starpoint Gemini. Warlords was probably the best iteration. Kinda like Eve but single player and a half way decent story.
But tell them they are talking to people all wrong and suddenly we are all Russian bots, or trolls, or secretly Trumpers
This bit is generally in response to the fact that the only time this rhetoric is heard is right before an election. Where was this talk and push for change the last four years? Where were the mass protests when Biden was in office and might have listened to a shutdown? Or at any point when the world wasn't staring down the barrel of a new hitler?
You can want positive change from your own political party while also acknowledging that they are still standing on higher ground than an actual Nazi. Time and a place for each.
So venture capitalism. Because that worked out so well for consumers with the rest of the tech industry. Wcgw?
Trust us bro. We won't send it anywhere. 🤞
Get friends with better values.
The difference is he was a poor trying to pull himself up. Corporations are glorious entities that can do no wrong in American law.
Opinions aside, that's still not the legal definition of a monopoly.
Monopoly: Exclusive control by one group of the means of producing or selling a commodity or service.
Valve does not have exclusive control of the PC gaming market. The EGS funded lawsuit even says that in the docket. They are only suing on the grounds of the keys issue. I don't disagree with you that when Newell leaves, things COULD change, but you can't base the present on the possible future. At this time, steam is on "top" because the vast majority of users have voted with their wallet and time. Not because they are engaged in sweeping anti-competitive backdoor dealings. You know, like EGS does.
Hell, $29 and the factory continues to grow for years of entertainment. That's not even a full meal with drink and tip at most bars.
