I can’t say for certain, but it screams “middle-management justifying their MBA salary” to me.

You can also give yourself equipment and money, if you set yourself up as a GM

I have one as well, and it’s so much fun. It’s pretty much just for my SO and me, but sometimes I have friends join. It’s super cool having GM commands and all that.

Good work, I hope you have fun with it!

I totally give them credit for that, but Steam was also a behemoth before all of that. They’ve been massive for over a decade at this point, maybe two. Everyone that’s tried to be a competitor has come in clearly not understanding the basics of Steam’s business model.

Thats how my homelab started! Now I have power-draw problems |:(

Advertisements are an attack to manipulate me and change my behaviour. I don’t tolerate them at all. They also ruin the product, because it eventually becomes more important to cater to the advertisers than the users.

If Youtube went back to how it was originally (no ads, downloadable videos, creator-controlled, etc), I, and many others, would happily pay them even if we could get the content for free (see Patreon, or GoFundMe, or PornHub, or Imgur, or Reddit, or many other sites as examples).

It does dark-theming with config.set(‘colors.webpage.darkmode.enabled’, True), and I run it with JS turned off by default. That gets rid of the vast majority of ads for me.

I’d guess that the stats were thrown off every small business that has an annoying TV blaring in the background

FreeBSD! It’s so simple, and so reliable

I like supporting my creators. I don’t pirate music, because Bandcamp is a thing, and I don’t pirate video games because GoG is a thing. I also subscribe to Patreon and the like.

What I don’t like is giving my money to shitty companies that try to tell me how I am allowed to manage/retain/consume that media.

“I don’t think we should bomb children”, “I think medial-debt shouldn’t be the largest cause of bankruptcy in our country”, “People should be able to oppose genocide”, “cops shouldn’t be able to assault innocent people without consequence”

“expect perfect”

I think your definition of “perfect” might be a little off, as I think those are all fairly reasonable to ask of a candidate.

Yes, Harris would have been better than Trump, but that is a pretty low bar. She spent her time trying to get as close to that bar as she thought she could get away with.

I’ve downloaded all of the videos for a few channels. I know they will eventually get taken down, so I want to have backups ready for when that happens.

Remember when they got mad after Trump said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters”? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.

But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it’s somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.

I forget where I heard the quote, but:

Stack Overflow is a great place to find answers. Stack Overflow is a terrible place to ask questions.

And how much is the new one raking in? They swapped out the person, but kept the problem.
