Why does my soy sauce bottle have two spouts?

You don’t care about the comfort and safety of others?

These are pretty simple and basic things we can do to not be disgusting and cause issues for other people. But if you want to live that way, it’s entirely your pererogetive as well. It’s people like you that caused Covid to become so bad, such a selfish attitude.

For home use sure, not for public dispensers, and yes I avoid them when possible. It’s shitty for the environment, but I’ll get ketchup packages instead for example. Some of my family is immuno compromised, and it’s hard enough without people treating public stuff like it’s their own.

and how does information appear on it?

From external sources… which is what would be censored. Follow the chain, it’s about a specific scenario. Hardly any of the Fediverse is locally stored other than the comments, it’s mostly news links. Which would be blocked….

And how does Lemmy communicate with another server if there’s no connection? You’re ignoring how the system is being censored or limited. Yes if none of these were issues or a concern, you could use a mesh network for stuff. But that’s no what was asked.

Valve adds CD-ROM drive support to Steam Frame kernel, took less than ten minutes — update comes one day after user requests for capability in the Steam Community forum

Hyperbole using extremes at both ends to bias a point is a fallacy and not conversing in good faith. It’s a tool when used correctly, you have not.

You’ve never heard of guerrilla marketing before have you?

This isn’t something new that they’ve done, why do you think it can be called out, theres even wikipedia pages where you can see examples of other companies doing this. You’re not seriously thinking I’m coming up with this new novel never heard of thing before…. Are you…? Because that’s just clearly foolish.

Hyperbole is not a good look, especially when you’re clearly using fake numbers to make it so lopsided in your favor.

Clearly it was so easy they could do it so fast (article specifieds 10 minutes even for you….), so why didn’t they? It couldn’t have been for an audit, and if it was, that wasn’t that robust of one of its out so fast now isn’t it? I wouldn’t trust a 10 minute audit, that’s nuts.

Quit making excuses for them.

And as I said it’s a common marketing tactic, guerilla marketing uses the exact process you’re decrying.

And this is why it works, people make excuses for them when people point this stuff out.

I would be extremely disappointed with their marketing group if this didn’t come up.

But sure, it’s a “bug” since it’s “now” an intended feature and they get credit for fixing it. That’s incredibly backwards thinking. You’re making my case for me, while defending this corporation. It’s crazy how apparantly only Valve is somehow immune to this here.

How’s this a bug?

And cd support is the current hot issue with gaming. It’s free publicity, not many people know about it being already available and they artificially limited it. So even if people know and get it out there, the publicity generated is far more positive and washes that out.

This is a common marketing tactic. They look like the good guys for adding a feature that was “requested”. Because of course people are gonna bring it up with everything going on.

Why you should care? If everyone was as selfish as you, there wouldn’t be land for nature, parks, or agriculture.

We don’t need more houses, we need more density, so less houses and more condos.

Free land means what in this context?

I ask again, with what information? Just having a network means squat, unless some has downloaded and stored all this information. And who’s paying for the harddrives and power requirements? Maintenance? Security?

You’re honestly selling a dream, even if the netowrk exists that it’s useable enmasse, where is the information coming from? How’s it being stored for everyone else to access? What you have in your city, won’t be in mine. How do you transfer the data between cities?

It’s a great imaginary thing though.

So…. You have extremely biased message boards, controlled by mods with no oversight, and the dialogue is controlled by a handful of users? You’re not selling it very well lmfao. There’s a reason why this isn’t exactly a thing yet, it’s just not robust or has anything useful, Wikipedia? News? Anything actually useful or relevant this could be used for? How would you send out breaking information like people need to evacuate?
