I don't know why but the image of wiping with a baseball is hilarious to me.

This is honestly one of the benefits of WFH, no need for 1 ply, I can have 2 ply or maybe even 3 ply if I'm feeling fancy.

I believe his point was that if students want to find a way to be distracted, they will - with or without cellphones. I know I certainly was able to distract myself with doodling lol

The enshitification is a very real thing unfortunately.

To be fair, piracy does drive down sales, as some of the people who would otherwise buy the game do pirate it.

Do we know that for sure? If games don't have demos, and don't have pirated copies available, how do you know that people who would have otherwise pirated it are just going to go ahead and buy it?

Also, isn't the opposite true? If pirated copies of games are available, won't some people treat them as demos and if they like the game then they will end up buying it to support the developer and to get official updates for the game?

Took the words right out of my mouth. This is concerning but I guess we will see what happens.

Honestly this might be a good thing. It might push more users to Firefox causing more competition for Chrome/Chromium.

It's true, we are za warudo.

True, at the end of the day it does come down to number of users, unfortunately. More users does mean more potential help/contributions. I just wish more people would switch to Firefox or another non-Chromium browser.

Maybe that would be a good thing, maybe it would force people onto Firefox?

That does make sense. They do have "more to lose" in that sense.

Blocking an account doesn’t really solve the trauma of being scared to accept any friend request since it could be this guy

Oh yeah, that's a good point.

Steam support did nothing

I'm not surprised. I love Steam, and the service that they provide, but I don't think their support has ever been particularly outstanding. I've had mixed experiences with their support. I'm not sure what they can do about this in general, though. Even if they banned him, that could set him off even more and make him try to harass her even more to the point where it's non-stop continued and he keeps spamming friend requests, etc.

I guess the idea would be transferring her account to a "new" account, or transferring her games to a "new" account, but yeah they don't allow that. Damn.
