Look at the things Bill Gates, Elon Musk, etc do when they’ve amassed wealth.
On both the personal (abusing their power for sex including pedo shit) and economics (abusing their power by killing competition through either legal means, EEE, etc)
They’re a monopoly because they’re just that good, not because they’ve killed all competition with unfair practicies and as I’ve argued numerous times they offer support unmatched on both developer and end user side with various features. They also contribute to a lot of open source projects and have literally bankrolled Linux gaming over the past decade to feeat effect.
Please doe the love of god stop conflating things adults do with “targeted at kids”, that’s simply untrue. Please show me what game you’re describing.

His actions seem to indicate he is in fact not the same as other billionaires

Same bullshit people use to ban things “for the children” counter strike is not targeted at children, why should Valve prevent people from selling their skins on 3rd party sites?
Freedom is bad because children? Porn should be banned because children, flavored cigs should be banned because children, flavored alcohol should be banned because children.
Such a stupid argument

Not sure if that’s actually a “passkey” in the same sense then, MS is doing its own shit for sure. I use vaultwarden/bitwarden and can save standard passkeys there no problem.

I feel like having a similar toggle for overworld/underground similar to in the base game would have been very very nice.
- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 1 week ago:
“Is based on taking a cut of the product of work done by others.”
That seems like a fair trade off for game developers in turn getting to use the platform who’s work was done by… Valve.
I understand why people make this argument but it’s really undercutting the value that Valve provides developers who utilize steam for distribution.

- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, unless you prevent image uploads it’s possible and easy for someone to put that shit on a drive you own which then means you’re technically distributing and harboring it.
Scary stuff
- Comment on Everyday AI looks more like the '08 housing bubble 4 weeks ago:
You’re fine, they go after the ones sharing it, of course if you want to tell authorities you can, just you’re not going to get in trouble for accidentally stumbling upon some asshat being a pedo. It does very much keep me from wanting to run my own instance though.

Feel like the internet bubble is an even better comparison, the internet is completely ubiquitous now

Purely legal means is the issue here, I agree it’s a problem that they’re do things like that, I just feel that if they’re going to take those routes and make it literally impossible for me to own something well… There are rather easy ways around that, and if I can directly support those who made that piece of media, I will!

See but it was only released that way, it’s not like it was physical and became digital only (as far as I’m aware) it’s like music or YouTube videos, it is primarily a digital platform and medium.
As someone who’s been digital only with media for nearly a decade and a half, it doesn’t matter to me if I can physically buy it, can I get it digitally somehow? Yes.

I agree with everything you’re saying, however it’s a bit much to claim anyone would ever be “locked in” can always just cancel the subscription lol
- Comment on How to manage docker compose apps? 1 month ago:
Just replace Apt update with docker pull 🤷♂️
- Comment on How to manage docker compose apps? 1 month ago:
It’s really nice once it’s going, especially if you link them together in a compose and farm out all the individual ymls for each service, or use something like dockage to do it.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I went with proxmox and various LXCs for either individual services or docker stacks with several things on a minimal os (I’m comfortable with Ubuntu server so that’s what I go with generally as the unpriv LXC)
