I don’t always need to see this at the end of the week…

…but I am super glad to see it when I need it.

Keep up the good work my guy.

I really like your way of explaining that.

It still feels dirty, but when is war and geopolitics ever actually clean? I feel a lot more heartened that this was the right choice after reading your response.

Cool.

Now do WWII.

I understand the sanctions part and wanting to head off any potential state interference with projects like this, but “infosec reasons” feels very hand wavy.

I think I’d be a lot more comfortable if we had seen malicious/bad faith actions/communications or maybe some more specific and tangible reasons to suspect them being compromised on the part of the Russian maintainers before they were just removed.

Awesome project; super easy to set up the streams in VLC for anyone curious about that.

you could stand up and fight for that

For best results, do not do spontaneously (that is, go grab some friends and coworkers before attempting to take on a big business)

Probably in the same holiday season as Elder Scrolls VI

Naw, I just kidnapped a bunch of people and left some dirty old blankets laying around /s

Now there is a $10k cap which includes your state taxes paid

I figured there was something I was missing and I think thats it.

Fwiw, I really appreciate the long-ish form response. I feel most others were content to downvote and move on, but I feel I’ve learned something that I wasn’t otherwise motivated to go learn on my own.

How is that punishing to city dwellers?

I get that it rewards non-city dwellers more than people who live in cities, but is that really the same thing?

I don’t think I get what you mean when you say “Walled Garden” in this context. Can you elaborate?

Interesting. Ugh, I feel the need to go peek at it now, but I also expect to really not like it. Oh well, here goes.

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the microblog format, but I’m pretty sure everyone here is going to agree that Mastodon is the superior Twitter replacement.

Eh, got lost looking for ground ginger. Started in the spice aisle, but they were out, so some directed me to the produce area (apparently didn’t realize I didn’t want whole ginger). After a bit more wandering, I turned some up in the Asian food section.

Unironically saw this meme while in line after having just done that.

I bet rent is still above the national average.

Like, I don’t want to sound like a corporate shill, but Valve has been the most consumer friendly corporation I’ve ever seen. Even if they do meet the criteria for a monopoly, they are the model of what a company that finds itself as The Monopoly should be, in my opinion.

I have no intent to sign up for this “lawsuit”, even though I stand to gain some $500 from it. I hope Steam lives long and prospers.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but this looks like a major _de-_enshitification step on the part of Steam.

I’m not missing something big, am I?
