And I don’t see why Arch is relevant to the discussion. My point is that software being non-proprietary is not a guarantee for preventing fuckery like Microsoft’s. Profit-maximizing companies will maximize their profits, proprietary software or not.

People don’t even use it for funny things though. I only see it as a way to shame people, as if they’re laughing at you. Except it’s almost always just stupid deflection when they don’t have any objective arguments to offer. It’s what I imagine debates would be like in “Idiocracy”.

I mean canonical also tries to monetize its [users](askubuntu.com/…/why-does-the-latest-build-of-ubun…. The problem is more shareholders who want profit than the software being proprietary.

I have lost all interest in playing any future Bethesda games because of their engine. It was pretty crap (but acceptable) back in 2011. Now it feels like a scam to pay for their games.

Where I live the forecast for tomorrow is between 0 and 7 degrees. Is that hot or cold?

- Comment on What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations? 3 months ago:
They literally pulled the game from the PlayStation Store because of the low quality. At that point it’s not just a subjective opinion but fact, so I resent the claim that I’m bending the truth.

Yes, the issue was with last gen consoles. I don’t think that matters to the point I am making.
- Comment on Ubisoft Wants You To Be Comfortable Not Owning Your Games 3 months ago:
I think renting should be renting, and purchasing should be purchasing. I’m okay with renting, and what that entails (e.g. they might remove the service in the future and I won’t ever own the game). I’m also fine with buying games, and for some games that have a lot of sentimental value or replayability I do want to own them.
What I’m not okay with is the current state of affairs, where they make it seem as if you buy the game and you pay full price, but legally it’s only licensed to you and the license can be withdrawn at any time. It’s all the disadvantages describe with renting, but with the price of buying. So that’s what I had in mind with my comment: I’d be content instead of angry if they offered a rental service with honest and fair terms of service, instead of the bullshit they’re pulling right now.
If there was a proper rental service I would likely rent a lot of games that I wanted to try out. Then I would go to GOG to buy DRM-free versions of the games I want to keep for a long time. Games like Civ5, RimWorld and Cyberpunk 2077. I think I wouldn’t need to rent a game for three years to figure out that I want to buy it, more like a month.
- Comment on What are some good games that have a bad reputation due to unreasonable expectations? 3 months ago:
The problem is that they advertise it a certain way and sell preorders, and then the game doesn’t live up to what they advertised. Worse, they didn’t allow anyone to review the console versions which were so unplayable that Sony removed it from the store. It would have been fine if people knew exactly what they were paying for.
Sure, it was unmet expectations but even if the expectation was just 'it works", they still didn’t meet it. And that’s kind of the minimum to even be legal when you’re charging money for it. I disagree that the console versions were 7/10 on release - more like 1/10.

For most games, I’m fine with renting my games. If they charge a reasonable continuous rental fee and not a crazy one-off price that will make the game available for some unspecified amount of time at the publisher’s discretion. For example, I could imagine paying $2 / month to play Assassin’s Creed. And if it turns out to be boring I can just stop renting it.

- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
I realize Nazis are an extreme comparison, but principally the problem is the same as in the concentration camps: they do what they’re told with no concern for morality or their own integrity.
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
Sorry, but If you’re asked to fire people in this way then you should stand up for yourself and say “sorry, but I’m not going to treat people in this way and contribute to traumatizing them. We need to be more transparent and give them clear reasons why they are being fired.”
If you just do whatever you’re told with no concern for the consequences then you are supporting the company’s actions and you are a shitty human being.
- Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her 3 months ago:
If he thinks it’s painful to watch then he should apologize to HER and her coworkers for traumatizing them, and give them a good severance pay. The way he phrases this as if he’s just shrugging and saying “we’ll do better at some unspecified point in the future, I’m sure” makes him come off as an inhumane piece of garbage with no empathy.

- Comment on Legendary exit for a legendary creator 4 months ago:
For me it’s that he likes to go around asking people physics questions that he knows they will fail to answer correctly, only to smugly explain how they’re wrong.
It’s like those videos where they ask Americans to point to countries on a map so we can laugh at how bad they are at geography, if it was made by Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory. Thing is I usually know the answers to the questions so I get a kind of second-hand shame because I would totally feel like an arrogant prick if I did people dirty like that.
