Damn these people are needy and fragile. It’s pathetic.

Having Elon Musk in the White House is like having a toddler who watches too much Bob the Builder

He knows about some ploys to help him get elected, mostly on Twitter and elsewhere online, and if he got clearance, first of all they would find and potentially make those details public, and he could technically face charges. All about plausible deniability.

So, more polution, less protections? What a dumbass.

A drop in the ocean compared to panama and other tax shelter accounts. Let’s go after both though.

I was about to suggest that as well.

I’d wager another better alternative will come up that’ll be like Discord, get great traction, then go public, then enshitify. The cycle of crap software continues until a FOSS option appears.

As he should.

Once you have shareholders, users don’t matter anymore, you serve them instead.

Enshitification is on the horizon…

It depends on who your other friends are. It doesn’t reflect well on you overall, I’d say, buy at the end of the day, having self respect means walking away when someone is this needlessly abrasive

Valve isn’t perfect but they’ve been more often than not the good guy. Just recently, the TF2 community wanted more freedom to make full-fledged mods of their own, so Valve released the source code and allowed free standalone mods to be listed on the Steam store.

That’s what my friend in NZ told me too, they’re really good, better or the same as Tesla.

US banks are already allowed. They just don’t like our regulations (that protect us against a 2008 style financial crisis)

Please allow us to monopolise! Please!

Top that with copyrights removal on Tesla tech.

Nintendo can’t stop suing. It’s simply time to stop giving them money, cuz they’re pissing it away on lawsuits against websites that are making available games Nintendo refuses to sell us.

Here’s what it comes down to: negotiations based on how much money the industry makes from their work. Because without the artist, comedian, etc., their profits vanish.

Now understand that every worker in the world could realise the same thing. That’s what unions are for, having that weight to give the employees of a company leverage and ask for a bit more of the pie that wouldn’t exist without their work. Why do you think businesses fight unions so damn hard? Because it’s easier to distract or scare enough of a worker group, mostly compared to a single artist.

The studio’s reply seems to indicate this is a bit overblown, other than the fact that they’re not using union contracts.
