So nobody is left making that point in the thread?

I’d recommend one that’s not plastic. (Though I have that same one and use it occasionally.)
- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 1 week ago:
That’s what I was here to post.
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 2 weeks ago:
Would you enjoy being a garbage man or a plumber? Or is that work you’re saving for others to enjoy?
Doctors make good money and we don’t have enough of them because it takes so much time and dedication. You think getting rid of money would help there?
Do kids need to go to school? Five days a week?
- Comment on it's a matter of motivation 2 weeks ago:
Automated by who?
We do need incentives to work. As technology and efficiency advances we should be able to work less, but we still need people to do work they/we don’t want to do.
Personally I think people are pretty happy working 24 hours a week even if their job isn’t something they love doing. I’m more interested in working towards that, slowly, over time, than just going to “nobody needs to work”.

In an era of anti-vox bullshit, it’s not acceptable to be that incorrect in your “oversimplification”.

Except for the whole shitload of jet fuel part.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
The amount of man hours, time, etc etc to make a game? Fuck that
And 30% of the purchase price doesn’t go to those people. It goes to Gabe’s yacht.

Using those services or run their own?
If they could have still images and text on the Steam store and a link to their external site for everything else, it’d by far be running their own.
It’s the exposure that Steam has an effective monopoly on.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I’m not gonna say Steam sucks. It’s a nice organizational tool that enforces some standards.
I’d rather have a drm free game that’s 20% cheaper though. The devs can pocket the other 10%.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Honestly not that much. The biggest thing Valve brings to the table is advertising and access to customers.
Hosting doesn’t cost that much. If you were that desperate for bandwidth (no one is), torrents exist as an option. Blizzard used to have torrents built into their downloader.
The infrastructure is a nice afterthought.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Do You have any idea what the hosting infrastructure, steam works, and traffic costs?
Yeah, not 30% of all PC games. It’s how they turn out absurd profit.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Any of those places charging 30% on a product they’re only publishing electronically is using walled gardens and monopolistic practices to do so.
I’d rather they go after Steam last, but Steam belongs in that group with Apple, Google, and Microsoft. It’s extraordinarily difficult to sell your PC game without Steam. A few large studios can do it, but not many others.
Still notas egregious as Apple, and now Android with their restrictions on side loading.

The people bringing it about believe they’ll be rewarded with the second coming of Christ and heaven.
They’re no different from the jihadists and their “virgins” that they mock and claim to hate.
Religious extremism is the biggest threat to humanity.
- Comment on Me watching someone on Lemmy getting cooked for having the same opinion as me: 3 weeks ago:
This is going to be more and more common as the US elections near.
Bots and agents will be attempting to push their agendas, drowning out anything else and trying to make their point seem like the mainstream opinions.

Dude, this is already their attempt to change the Constitution to install a despot. You need more cheating than that?
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 3 weeks ago:
They already have a solution for that. They want to change it to say "no more than two consecutive terms.

Also, she’s an actress. What she/they want to show on TV might be a slightly different standard.

They do some of this too with the timing.

You know I replaced that with a static image years ago, right?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Generally it’s hidden, but there are a number of caveats as JRaccoon says.
It’d be good to know which instances proxy images and which don’t. It’d also be nice if some of this was controlled by your client if using an app.
It’s also fairly easy to end up on another instance. And any articles you click on will take you to a domain that collects your IP.

Can’t come at a worse time. People are just learning to make things through vibe coding, and they’re gonna want to put their own apps on their phones and their friend’s phones.
If Google embraced their side loading, it could become an even bigger selling point.

Omnissa is a registered trademark of VMWare. They’ll be around to collect royalties shortly.
- Comment on /c/Pics mod is going crazy removing posts for no good reason. Why? 1 month ago:
The rules very clearly say “no pics of politicians”, and certainly pics of a politician’s parents are in line with that.
It’s also possible that they’re just spam or reposts. I’ve seen the mural before.

You buy 5 bitcoins for $450 each in 2016. It’s what you can afford. You sell them for $10,000 each in 2018, timing it decently just before a bigger drop.
Congrats on your $48k.

It’s perfectly logical. The Sun is loud as shit. Or it would be if there was air to transmit the sound.
