  Lol you really think a CEO, of a billion dollar company no less, being recognized on camera is “emblematic” of anything.

  Don’t pretend they are like us.

  Yes surveillance capitalism is ruining the society, but this is not it. Surprising bad take from 404media.

  You raise good points. It’s great that other store fronts still exist where you can sell adult games. But I do worry if credit card companies will come for them too one day.

  Re: crypto. Some of what you said is true. Transaction fee are comparatively expensive (but also note credit card companies charge transaction fees too, just not directly to the consumer). But other points aren’t necessarily true. Transaction times have improved a lot, there are networks designed for fast transaction times, and usually the payment can complete in seconds. The volatility problem is solved by stable coins, which have their values fixed relative a currency. (Of course stable coins can, and have failed in the past. But that only concerns you if you keep your money as stable coin. For one-off payments this shouldn’t matter). Retailers don’t have to hold cryptos if they don’t want to. Crypto markets have pretty good liquidity nowadays, it’s not hard to get rid of the coins immediately after you get them (well to be fair if you are getting Valve volumes it could be a problem, should be fine for smaller stores).

  Crypto is a fast evolving field, so problems are being solved by the day.

  Maybe time for some to start a adult only game store that uses crypto to settle payments?

  You know the system is fucked when people who seek to maximize profit for themselves while making everyone else’s life worse is rewarded, whereas projects like Matrix, which is clearly a public good that benefits the society, struggles to get funding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Matrix is cooked⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah they have the rights to do it, doesn’t mean it’s a good thing to do, doesn’t mean it won’t negatively impact the future of the project.

  Redis had the rights to change the license of redis, look at where that led them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  but YS(also)K: correlation does not equal causation.

  a non-violent protest like the ones described in this article can only commerce, if it is not opposed by state sponsored violence. and that’s usually indicative of a government that’s already falling apart.

  but this is not impossible or out of ordinary though. you can even imagine stacking a couple cardboard boxes into that shape. i think it’s out of place because it’s too ordinary, because you’d expect some kind of symmetry, regularity, etc. from idealized mathematical shapes, but you didn’t. instead you just get some random looking stack of boxes.

  Given how poorly defined “think”, “reason”, and “sentience” are, any these claims have to be based purely on vibes. OTOH it’s also kind of hard to argue that they are wrong.
