When you pull out “software I didn’t start for six months wants to update”
Did the software “want” to update or “force” an update? There’s a meaningful difference there and windows often doesn’t give you a choice or do anything else while it’s updating.
Rages at reality for doing the thing everyone said would happen?
would rather watch it die so it can be replaced with real jobs that people can live off of
A faster way to do that: minimum wage laws that require people are paid a wage they can live off of.
The’ve tried the whole “let’s not pass laws to increase minimum wage, people will just not take jobs that don’t pay enough” for decades. Jobs still exist that pay below poverty (minimum wage).
If we agree that what they are doing is garbage and shouldn’t be able to exist, why are they arguing against doing something that would prevent it from existing?
You seem really offended at the idea that “someone who works a job should be able to afford living” for some reason…
Why can’t we just have a discussion without insults
Let’s be honest, “I don’t eat fast food so they should be allowed to pay slave wages” isn’t really a compelling discussion with nuanced talking points.
Why is it on the shoulders of the desperate to not take any job they can get, and on the shoulders of the desperate to not get whatever food they can afford and have time for in between their 3 jobs?
You know what would also kill the business model of “under pay and over work staff for low quality results then just replace them”? Laws preventing such behavior.
Collective action? Now that sounds like communism to me…
This is akin to randomly bellowing out the national anthem in the middle of a voting session but with more bite. I’d expect somebody doing that to be sanctioned too.
With the harshest punishment ever given within their government?
The haka happened last November. They haven’t been punished until now. You’d think if it was that severe they wouldn’t wait 5 months to punish them for it.
Either way, the fix is going to involve getting rid of Trump.
You haven’t met a pre teen. You’re also ignoring the problem of false positives.
“It doesn’t matter how strict the punishment is, only criminals will be punished” only works if only criminals are punished. There’s plenty of stories of accounts being banned when no rules were broken.
Right, children are known for being well behaved and following the rules…
I remember as a child playing 2 player Tetris on the original Gameboy, which required a cable connecting the two devices. I figured out if I watched my opponent’s height indicator on my screen and saw it drop suddenly I could unplug the cable from my device and not get sent the extra lines. It was a cheat and an exploit that I stumbled upon because I was curious what would happen. That “I wonder what would happen” attitude can now apparently cause Nintendo to purposely brick the device.
And that is why there is no such thing as an ethical billionaire.
It is possible to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on a yacht
A massive waste of resources and damaging to the planet. Something a sociopath would acquire.
billions on space travel
Cool. Let governments do that then. We don’t need to corporatize space.
Infinite Growth is good for board members and shareholders.
Infinite growth in a finite system is cancer. It kills the host every time
Growing the hoard can be it’s own game similar to idle games or gatcha games.
When the horde you’re growing is resources other people need to survive you can go fuck yourself. Go play a gatcha game instead.
no one is going to break down the white house doors and open fire because another ignorant racist pawn was placed into a strategic position
What about if citizens are detained and deported to foreign prisons without due process, all while blatantly ignoring the orders of judges?
Where is the line where people will act?
If I had a billion dollars I wouldn’t work another fucking day in my life.
Billionaires have more money than they could ever spend, and spend so much time and effort trying to increase the size of the hoard and make sure they don’t have to pay an extra fraction of it in taxes. It’s a sickness.
You don’t become a billionaire without being mentally ill, and for some reason we think the mentally ill are the most fit to run corporations.
patenting, copyrighting, or trademarking concepts or mechanics in video games shouldn’t be allowed at all
It’s not allowed at all in board games. There’s a known issue that someone could completly copy the mechanics of a board game, and as long as they don’t copy the art or the exact text of the rulebook there is no legal means to stop it.
Boardgamers are aware of this, and agree that it is better for development of future games than if someone could own the idea of “rolling a dice”, so if knockoffs do come around they tend to quickly get called out and not purchased.
I don’t know how videogames managed to get different rules.
You mean the one group who understands science and the other group that refuses to understand science and insists they know better than the experts and the studies that have been done?
I don’t think there’s any common ground for those 2 groups.
This is my personal machine that I own, there is no reason for my operating system to “hide” options from me. If I want to never update my system or delete core operating files that’s my fucking problem to deal with.
You know what else windows hides from normal users? How to disable information tracking, ads, and this AI bullshit.
