I just read your article for you. Its not looking good for your argument, chief. It even links to another that explains the system in place.

From my perspective its because they're still somehow not even among the worst. Their only way of advertising their gambling is by giving the player a crate. This crate can be opened for $2.50, or sold on the marketplace to someone else who wants to open it. This money can be spent on buying real games.

In cod, you get full screen advertisements on the regular for $10+ skin bundles. In almost every game as a service you get progress in a battle pass that ALWAYS directly contrasts your usually untradeable rewards with what you could be getting if you paid this month's subscription fee.

Valve does have a scummy system, but they make it less annoying and if you choose to not participate you usually benefit with real funds to use on steam. Its hard to hate that over the aggressive advertising of its competitors.

All IMO, though. I'm no psychologist.

In this thread: perfect being the enemy of better.

Overall I am very happy with companies interacting with and funding the open source development community. I respect framework a whole lot more than dell, for example.

This comic is old, Mac major OS updates used to cost money.

It unlocks characters, outfits, and hard mode.

Knowing that LLMs are just "parroting" is one of the first steps to implementing them in safe, effective ways where they can actually provide value.

Will Linus watch this one or will he just read the comments?

I completely understand why others are unsubbing, but I enjoy the content and want to see how the new CEO ends up handling all of this. Threads like this seem to be inviting everyone to post about how they never liked LTT in the first place, but I wanted to write this down because I'm sure I'm not the only one who actually enjoyed the content and the cool technology and unique solutions they found when building PCs and cooling them.

OK but this is the storefront without DRM. It's the biggest one that doesn't make you rely on it.

Some people are downvoting you but you're right. No other application is this all in one package. My only issues with input devices have been Windows' fault, too. I don't like Discord's closed ecosystem and data privacy concerns, but the feature set is unmatched, especially at the amount of polish they have and their price.

Side note, people please stop using it as an alternative to a proper forum.

Also removes the joke of the kid having more complex thoughts.

You can do better than chrome with Edge. That way two companies are keeping your data secure instead of just one!

Wow this comment section is actually awful. If you're somehow seeing this early on in the list: get out of here before it's too late. There are some really, really toxic takes in here.

If the community reacts super strongly to this before framework even has the chance to properly investigate, respond, and react to this kind of issue, why would they ever want to risk investing in open source projects in the future? Come on, people. Give them time and if you have to hate on a company hate on the bigger ones that do these sorts of things on purpose and get away with it. I understand informing Framework and putting pressure on them to fix things, but there's such a thing as going too far.

She's just prepping some Rs to think that faking votes is easy so they'll be more accepting of the idea that the election was stolen when Trump loses. As a bonus she also makes it seem like the R party is the one stopping this fictional fraud.

Least down bad Lemmy user

Not voting is a choice as well. A choice that will make it so that your voice will not have an impact on whether the candidate that kills more will win, or the candidate that kills less. Choosing to abstain is an announcement that you don't care about those whose lives are being threatened, the opposite of what you seem to think it is.

What's different here is that it's an option and not the only method.
