A massive, massive astroturfing campaign Epic Games paid for in hopes of tarnishing Valve and Gabe Newell’s reputation to try and bolster their failure of a shop ecosystem.

Unfortunately, it worked, because there are people on the net who don’t remember the and days before steam, or even the initial versions of steam that people had Actual problems with, and not just made up ones.

No, it’s much simpler- distro maintainers moved to it because it’s simpler for them to roll out, and they don’t get blamed for the problems.

Why are you pushing this guy to replace the non-working spy unit with a WORKING spy unit?

That’s a nice big load of nonsense you have there. Unfortunately for you, it’s already been proven that Chinese interests are funding anti-american/Republican think tanks, non profits, and politicians.

I take issue with Americans taking their business to foreign governments that are happily and gleefully accelerating the corruption of said domestic powers into the exact behavior that is causing Americans to want to shop elsewhere.

It’s going “I dislike how my government is treating me, so I’m going to support the people that are contributing to why my government is treating me that way.”

Nice straw man.

Good, that means you’re smarter than all the people in this thread using it.

Imagine being so addicted to low effort effort memes destroying your attention span that, given an opportunity to break free, you double down and prostitute yourselves to a hostile foreign power.

uh… ok? So now it’ll be controlled by someone who DOES want to be the next Musk or Zuckerberg?

If you think Mozilla is the canonical of browsers, you’ve been consuming too much of Google’s anti-mozilla propaganda after they announced v3 manifest.

If you’ve noticed, they’re doing everything they can to make him look less attractive. Shitty aspect ratios, bad white balance, editing the picture, terrible focal lengths…

They’re scared. It’s hilarious, because they’re so blatantly obviously scared.

A billionaire spending a quarter of a billion dollars to ensure people vote for trump?

Unfortunately one of the stated plans is for trump to completely and utterly eliminate the department of education entirely.

He made $12000 off each fired employee.

Kind of adorable that the last poster’s boyfriend knows her well enough to know that she wanted the lime.

I bet he clocked that thing as something they were buying, possibly even before she saw it lol

Yeah, you enjoy your day and your strawman arguement you ‘won’ against as well.

Also, c’mon, their criticism of this decision in the sentence just before it heavily implies that.

That’s literally not how that works, and you even agree in the paragraph above this one. Why are you even arguing about this?

As for twitch’s working conditions, it’s a company ran by amazon, with management by amazon, so it has a lot of the same problems. From what I understand, the hours are shit, everything is a metric that’s impossible to meet, you’re constantly at risk of being laid off, a lot of the management are jackasses, and it’s very much a bunch of little fiefdoms trying to flex their position and abuse any amount of power they can.

Like, I can sum it up as simply as “Know how terrible twitch mods are? Imagine working for one.”

Not quite as bad as the conditions working in an amazon warehouse, sure, but still not something anyone should have to put up with. Regular inhuman working conditions with a focus on gaslighting and abuse, as opposed to an amazon warehouse’s egregiously inhuman working conditions which are focused more on physical abuse.

They’re talking about the working conditions in general, which are indeed deplorable. They’re not saying this specific act is proof of it, or even an example of it.

Reading comprehension, dude.

Google is spending a lot of cash to make Firefox look bad so people are unmotivated to change away from Chrome when manifest v3 is fully rolled out.

Servers, and workloads are various- DNS, ntp, databases, a few websites, internal servers running code/apis/etc for internal processes, etc.
