I suppose the head is probably quite light and 1000g is actually a lot. G’s as a unit would be more helpful here

- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
Yeah people like to save money and that’s what banks invest and offer interest on. They then hand out loans with higher interest than they pay to savers. I’m pretty sure that’s already how banks work.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
You can make contracts that guarantee a certain percentage of revenue for a certain number if years, or you know, just loans with interest.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
yeah turns out I was misinformed. my bad. But point still stands, they made a private company designed to exploit workers, and some asshole took it over.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
investment into worker owned companies is possible. Buying stocks is not the only way to invest and make profit.
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
yeah fair enough. that still implies that there’s something great about founding Tesla. Which could be great, if the founders had sold the company to its employees and made it a co-op!
- Comment on Thomas Edison was the Elon musk of his era 2 weeks ago:
Fuck them. Starting a private company and then selling it to some tool doesn’t make these guys great people. They exploited their employees and sold the company to some guy to exploit some more. I’m not sympathizing with capitalists because of other capitalists.

- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 5 weeks ago:
having a market share like that is a form of monopoly. It’s obviously different from absolute monopoly, but they wield too much power as is.
And to be fair, running games on linux without steam is definitely more tricky than without.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 5 weeks ago:
That’s still a monopoly. The article says it too, if you don’t put your game on steam, your sales suffer. It’s similar to how spotify has a monopoly on the music streaming market.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying Steam is the worst thing out there right now. I’m saying monopoly is inherently bad, and 30% is a crazy high cut even including the features you mentioned.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb 1 month ago:
Agreed, shitty read. The 30% cut is crazy high though, and IMO the best point the article has. Steam DOES have a monopoly and that’s inherently bad

That last quote really didn’t fit, huh?
