Valve doesn't sell ad space on Steam so it can make room for surprise hits: 'We don't think Steam should be pay-to-win'

The advantage atm is that valves privately owned. The moment they go public, be very wary.

Pretty much the biggest mistake made due to greed is the decision to retroactively apply thr deals to already existing titles. Its one thing to neuter titles in the future, but another to fuck over everyone whose already committed to using it on a different TOS

Things like reshade and controller api modifcations redirect dll functions. The line is kind of vague about the specifics.
Should people on steamdeck ironically be banned for how proton changes how the DX11 is read and converts it to vulkan?

New school bus route is a 'disaster,' Kentucky superintendent admits. Last kids got home at 10 pm
They REALLY lowballed the funding when some locations have a stop half mile away on top of being slow and inefficient due to lack of drivers and driver training.
Why even pay a firm for optimal route planning if you dont even have the personel to execute it.

competition only lowers prices if supply isn't limited sadly. And due to how the housing system works, that would virtually never happen.

What is something that people think is dangerous but in reality is completely harmless?
Sharks.
More people die due to things like selfies, falling out of your bed, tipped vending machines and heck, even balloons, then to a shark.
Just because something can kill you doesnt mean it will, more often than not, it actually wont.

The Lemmy experience
Reply in thread
Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.
Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)
Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.

Throwback to when Gordon Ramsay made the world's worst grilled cheese sandwich
Reply in thread
He used very thick* bread, the wrong cheese and cooked it on a pan over an open fireplace, the worst way to grill a grilled cheese (bread burns extremely fast, gives no chance for cheese to melt)

its because of how culturally relevant english is as a language to make others pick it up as a second language. Take for example coding, programming languages were mainly built around english monikers, so a very basic level of english understanding is helpful when doing that. Then you get to the large wall that is western, primarily American media and how its more or less it's largest export.

Older generations of some Asians haven't forgiven Japan for its War Atrocities they have committed on mainland Asia and the other Pacific islands before and during WW2 . It's less of a problem with generations after the various wars. Its fairly common for older generations to hold onto grudges.
