You are absolutely right but unfortunately people arent ready to head it yet.

It isnt, but if it were your argument would still not be valid. Just because free speech is violated doesnt mean you cant say anything anywhere.

Thats nor how free speech works
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 5 days ago:
Sure you could require them to inform the user. It would still require a change in law. I would personally stand against it because what you propose is the bare minimum needed to maintain legal status while maximising corporate comfort and minimizing user experience. It would be a law purely made to help companies exploit users.
Companies shouldnt be allowed to take completely absurd counterproductive (in the greater sense) measures just for the 0.01$ higher profit. If companies would behave like people in maintaining a healthy relationship with the law, this wouldnt be a problem. Fact is, many companies do everything in their power to get as close to the fine line separating immoral from illegal as possible to maximize profit (also more often than not straight illegal but hard to prove).
You know about squatters rights? Its the same phenomenon, except imagine 10% of the population doing it. Im pretty sure the law would change in a heartbeat. Companies have no moral compass, no shame or sense of dignity, thats why they need especially strict and explicit laws keeping them in check.
- Comment on Stop Killing Games Petition to UK Relaunched 5 days ago:
Not sure what you mean. This is not about people being able to buy games or not. Its about companies shutting down games after some time making them unplayable, even for people who already purchased them. Its like if Samsung would remotely lock your TV making you unable to turn it on again because they stopped “supporting” it.
There is simply no way to justify it. Its a symptom of greed, they dont want you to own a product that doesnt generate them revenue anymore.

Unfortunately it is not that simple. Abandoning it after everyone already started using it would mean that the current users would all be left in a far-right bubble potentially not even realising it or realising too late. Its exactly what Elon wants.

Interesting how condifently you are talking about the subject even though your comment makes it obvious you have no idea what the petition is about.

Hasnt that always been obvious? Thats how humans have handled every single interaction with other species/cultures so how could they imagine any different outcome?
- Comment on I welcome our new alien overlords 1 week ago:
Im waiting for the time when aliens enslave us under worst conditions and 90% of humanity will be better off than before.

No, not hard, but also not necessary.

OP apparently thinks that every single case is handled manually by a person looking at the amount you owe, then manually typing out this long ass mail.

Yes of course, Im not trying to invalidate genderneutral pronouns. If someone wishes to be adressed in a certain way replacing the words him/her, sure. But ‘I’ is not a gendered pronoun (at least to my understanding). Its the single universal word used to talk about oneself in the 1st person, isnt it? It is genderneutral already, so why would you feel the need to replace that?
- Comment on Balatro dev shares an excellent list of his favourite indie games of 2024 2 weeks ago:
Genuine question coz Im not american. Whats the benefit of replacing a completely genderneutral word like ‘I’ with something else? Seems to me its just ragebait, do people actually use pronouns like that?

To be fair, Deutsche Bahn is an actual pile of shit, thats why people love complaining. Last time my train ran less than 5min late mustve been around 2005.
- Comment on I never realized this 2 weeks ago:
Not so sure. It may just as well be that OP thinks Homelander is the cool guy and the meme is meant unironically. Their comments here suggest that and their posts are mostly comprised of golf and borderline sexism / boomer jokes
- Comment on I never realized this 2 weeks ago:
Why would that be the case? How would marriage between two equals in a non-patriarchy be patriarchal? What about marriage between two women? What about last names in a society of beings without gender?
I think you didnt mean ‘inherently’

Um, sure.
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 4 weeks ago:
Not sure how you interpreted my comment as criticism, but it wasnt. Nevertheless, there is no comparable alternative, so unfortunateIy cant “do so”.
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 4 weeks ago:
I dont think its about availability, more about the convenience of having everything in one place and especially the rating system (which of course only works if you have a huge customer base and is also being exploited so not really a plus for Amazon anymore)
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 4 weeks ago:
Of course it is, but why does convenience have to be built on exploitation? I would gladly pay higher prices for an ethical alternative.
- Comment on What do You think about level scaling in cRPGs? 4 weeks ago:
Level scaling is usually used to make development easier, so making it optional would require the extra work to come up with appropriate enemy strength and the eoptional scaling effect on top.
