You won’t find half the communities or niche interests here. It’s hopelessly small relatively and it’s not visibly getting any better any time soon.

I still shifted off reddit because I found their complacency unacceptable, but the sacrifice is felt.

He’s a molester, what makes you think this would be an issue for him?

Wasn’t rhetorical, was intended to ask for your reasoning in more specific terms.

Allow me to rephrase.

Do you think it is likely for voting to create a difference?

There is nothing constitutional about the US and how it operates anymore.

Do politicians still have your faith?

Let’s look at one study and ignore the consensus of studies, right?

It doesn’t hurt the sales of the games, that’s an unscientific assertion you are asserting that directly contradicts research.

If you want to play it for free, nobody’s stopping you from pirating it too. It seems like resentment here rather than logical rigour in your argument. It’s not a slap in the face for gamers who want to support the developers. If you don’t, there’s no reason why you should be obligated to purchase the game.

Games are made and developed for-profit, they only continue production if they are profitable. They’ve remained profitable despite piracy forever.

This has nothing to do with the argument that all games should be free or that developers don’t need paychecks. It’s an entirely different set of claims which nobody is making here.

Logic is objective, so saying it’s logical “to you” is illogical.

A sense of humour is irrelevant to a discussion from a logical standpoint. Furthermore, we literally have data and studies that show that piracy doesn’t hurt the sales of games— when provided with this evidence in the comments, you just “laughed” at it.

You ask for reasoning/evidence, and when provided, just laugh at it. Laughter doesn’t dismiss evidence.

Sure, just don’t pretend you’re engaging in logical discussion.

Except when people provide you with evidence and reasoning you just go “lmao” and leave it at that too.

Goodbye!

Not all GPT users are American/residing in America

Even foss is under attack. Linux (amongst other OS) are being forced to comply with integrating OS-level age verification checks, which means invading privacy and contributing to mass surveillance.

People have been arrested for developing end-to-end encryption too.

Microslop.

Why is curbing use unideal?

Further, self-control and attention span are not measures of intelligence.

You can be restrained and/or have a long attention span and still not be intelligent.

thanks for pointing that out.

I’m not sure how this benefits the big corporations then. Surely they don’t have a deathwish? And aren’t stupid/incompetent enough to not see that? Else they’d not have gotten this big, right?

How do you do that?? I want to poison em

What about all the user data they sell to third parties? I’d be interested in knowing how that contributes to this

They’ll just declare bankruptcy and get away scott-free
