Aim that thing at the fossil fuel companies that literally gaslighted the public for decades.

Only for judgemental pricks.

In either direction (being the prick or dealing with pricks).

Ubisoft deserves to drop to zero.

Ah yes, the classic, “it won’t effect me so I’m ok with what ever abuse.”

How pitiful.

If I think cutting my brake lines will make my car go faster, I am, in fact, a moron directly failing to achieve my goal, NOT an intelligent being seeking alternative options…

“If you bought something”.

and buying it on steam counts as buying it on ubisoft?

Late-stage capitalism, not “neocapitalism”.

There is nothing new, unexpected, or unique about late-stage capitalism. It’s just greedy fucks thinking they’re the smart ones.

Never buy them EVER: If you don’t sign in to your ubisoft account for a year, they delete your catalog. The things you paid them for. They remove.

If buying isn’t owning…

Yea, it’s not C that is crap, but that it has zero guard rails. Like blaming a knife for not having a guard… Is it a bad knife without a guard? Depends on how sharp it is. The guard is orthogonal to the knife’s purpose, but might still be important when the knife is used.

Just because something doesn’t help prevent accidents does not mean it cannot serve its actual purpose well, unless its actual purpose is safety.

Memory safe language that’s becoming viable … as a proper replacement of C.

There are many other memory safe languages out there. Just not ones most would like to pull in to the kernel…

Those problems persist to this day. Just like how Trump (didn’t) delt with COVID.

“The economy” took precedence over peoples’ health, even though peoples’ activity makes the economy… By allowing so many to die, the US’ economy will produce far less than it would have for decades to come. They failed even at the direct goal they were aiming for…

The short-sightedness is the problem. People who think they even can defocus on any goal are only succeeding in deluding themselves.

It is both.

Tell that to literally every lake ever… When several slopes join together, you can, in fact, drown down slope.

That was, in fact, wrong.

Just because there is a high priority present doesn’t magically make it ok to throw your humanity out the window… Why do I have to explain this!? Are you a sociopath?!

That ENTIRE SHOW was about how he had many chances to choose to not be a piece of shit. Every spiral was because of him. He is, in fact, a terrible person, and the fact you cannot understand that is concerning. Having one singular noble goal does NOT magically absolve him of all of his terrible decisions.

Definitely both. We definitely need to tax them way more _and _ add worker protections.

Impossible to be literally true, so quite literally “incredible” if 1000x or 1000%. The sun doesn’t emit that much energy more than current solar panels can manage.

If it’s over 400%-500%, it’s fake news, because that’d be generating more energy than is emitted by the sun (per area at distance).

I wouldn’t mind anything above “possible”. I was just commenting on what most end users would expect if it’s released for public consumption. Just like everyone keeps bringing it up as a good example, old steam games with a perfectly functional server component you can start up about as easily as the game is all the “hosting” experience most gamers have. If it’s more than setting a port for the server and typing in the url/ip and port in the client, many will be immediately lost.

… not that they should have to make it that easy. The main point of my earlier post was that for many games, creating an easy server component and updating the game to connect to arbitrary servers is very likely to be more than a few hours’ work.

Especially MMO’s and bigger games that may have multiple server components running on multiple servers and likely with an entire build/deploy pipeline behind them…

While simply allowing the game to use a variable for the server URL is easy, the VAST majority of gamers would assume it’d come with a clean server installer and the ability to set the URL in some kind of UI.

Both of those details are very much NOT simple in many cases. Sure, quite a few well written games, it could be done quickly, but as someone who’s worked on software for decades … it’s NEVER well written. Especially when video game studio style crunch is involved.

This is still a good petition and good idea, but to assume “just a few hours” is … simply ignorant.

I’d vote to force them to do one of three things:

1. Open source the whole game.
2. Release the server components in a way where anyone tech savvy could grab them and spin up a server the game client can actually connect to.
3. Make the game offline only (obviously impossible for many games these days, but…)

It should be forced upon them. Want to sell a rug pull? Get ready to not own the rug pull.
