More like, “they will be offered part of the proceeds of any further watches we steal.”

I don’t know if I’m personally part of the class, but if I am, as relief I would want an injunction for them to fucking leave me alone, not shares in their operation.

Bye bye any pretext of legitimacy.

Can I ask, why do people make comments like this? What’s the appeal?

Ehrmigahrd erminerm

They ostensibly weren’t until… Well, let’s just say “recently”

What precedents exist to deny first amendment rights to foreigners?

I stuck with 7 for an extremely long time under similar reasoning. Like I missed win 8 completely and only got 10 in maybe 2018. And only because I needed a version of directX for work that was unsupported on 7.

And it was the same shit back then. 10 was pulling a lot of the same tricks. Ads, reinstalling candy crush without permission, more bloat and antifeatures.

Eventually a combination of third party tools and understanding of how to keep the garbage at bay made 10 tolerable. And, I guess, now 10 is the semi-reliable legacy alternative to the current shitfest.

Is there a Shutup10 analogue for Windows 11? Or an LTSC? Not looking forward to having to go through that dance again. But I assume the day will come.

Got to be battery at a minimum

As a counterpoint to most of the cynicism here, this is how the company I now work for formed. Caveats include: the founder had a lot of money because he had previously worked for a big name Internet company when it was a startup, and we spend almost all of our time as contractors for other studios rather than developing in-house IP.

Every day the mask slips further

Yeah, no. You said not voting for Biden is voting for a worse situation for Palestine, which is only true in swing states. Which, I suspect, you know. I didn’t change the topic; you brought up non-election years and other ballot issues.

But if you need it spelled out (we both know you don’t:) if you don’t live in a swing state, your vote for president doesn’t matter.

Don’t be deliberately dense. We’re talking about electing the president, and you asked about a comparison between Biden and Trump.

If you don’t live in a swing state, your vote doesn’t matter.

Absolutely. Compare the kind of censorship that happens on Facebook, Instagram, and Reddit, to the kind that doesn’t happen on TikTok.

For example, I got permanently banned from Reddit (reversed after a few days’ appeal, but it took me out of the game) for pointing out others in the thread conflating ISIS with the general Palestinian public. This was, apparently, hate speech. You see people reporting similar things on all these American platforms.

I have my concerns about TikTok but the pearl clutching is very selective.

Ngo monitor is right wing bullshit with zero credibility.

Holy fuck. 373 games. I’m very touched that so many are giving their hard work away to support this cause. Got it and added the extra payment on.

Why not blow the whistle on that?

If the administration admits this, it will be legally bound by the Lahey act, which constrains military aid to countries committing human rights violations. They know how ridiculous their denials look.

I think it’s fair to acknowledge that everything is a trade-off, and without downvotes, we have to accept the downsides.
