Naive would be a better adjective than dumb, imo.

Right. The two games I play the most are Minecraft and Factorio. Both not amazing graphically but they’re fun.

Yeah they choose where they work at the end of the day.

I’m a software developer and I would never work for a gambling company, even for double money for the same work. It’s just not something I would be cool with.

Thanks.

I guess if I get one I can say “I use Arch btw”.

I keep looking at SteamDecks but can’t pull the trigger.

Besides gaming what can you do with it? Like can I browse the darkweb on the go? Does it have regular PC functionality?

I was just joking around.

Right. When I used to ring my drug dealer and he be like what you need.

I’m like need need need, I’m not an addict I don’t need this. I just want it for the 830th day in a row.

Some people.

Nope. I too don’t use my own DOB but I’ll tend to keep the range correct. Maybe I should start going older.

When it appears the OG user is 150 years old.

No. I mean someone with ethics and morals and just wants to sell something for a single price and be done.

There’s a reason Minecraft and Factorio get a lot of love. It’s because you pay once and you’re done. Yet they still make new things. Although Mojang is going that way.

If you’re 1-2 bad games away from going bust then perhaps make better games.

Isn’t the premise of capitalism, that if you fail then someone better will take over you. Let them fail.

Would be swell if you were to elaborate, you know and perhaps contribute.

Enshittification isn’t because people are not using their services. It’s because the growth isn’t happening at the rates they’re used to so they can either spend more money improving the product, or make it shit for the current customers to make more money.

They are all greedy suits as growth is the only metric they’re interested in.

That aside I’m not entirely sure what point you’re trying to make here fam.

Dude for every one of us there are 19 others that will introduce the children.

Same view as those thinking Reddit would die when we all came here.

I like to make the choices I do on moral grounds, not hoping for death to a company, it’s how I sleep at night. Does me never shopping on Amazon affect them? Nope. Do I feel better for not giving them my money. Yes.

All we can do is be the best person we want and nothing more.

I actually can’t believe this is coming from a high level employee at a corporation.

Like we all know this is true, but isn’t it big to hear one of them talking about the insanity of the system.

They didn’t pay him that. It was $450,000 and $800,000 the year before with bonuses.

The $193M figure are his share options.

How is it judgy?

The fact is most humans couldn’t set up a server.

Most humans couldn’t repair a car.

Most humans couldn’t perform an angioplasty.

Most humans can’t play football at the professional level.
