Valve also doesn’t pursue anti consumer goals on daily basis.

Valve pioneered lootboxes and marketing gambling to children, why does everyone forget that?

“pirate community” lmfao

Hey no worries, sorry for assuming you were taking past me instead of just missing my point! No need to download yourself haha

helpful or worthwhile

Not everyone has a career where dedicating time to learn this stuff is helpful or worthwhile. There’s a ton of “useful” skills that all of us don’t bother to learn because our time is better spent elsewhere.

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted, hackernews is an awful site of smug, dumb software “engineer” tech bros with some of the worst takes on anything that isn’t explicitly about how to code

Lmao you’re adorable

When has Catholicism never been about money? They literally have codified paying your way into heaven for nearly 2000 years with “indulgences” lol

It’s like one of the most blatant examples of a corrupt religion being used to control and siphon money from people, it has one of the most well documented, terrible histories.

You legally have to tell us if that movie was Shrek.

But more so that Catholics and other fundamentalists expect the man to be the provider, and largely base the worth of the man on how much money he makes. If you think that’s gross and demeaning, then don’t fucking date Catholics lol

Turns out, religious fundamentalists view men as providers and base large parts of their worth on how much money they make, whodathunk??

So you said the government would buy it, so I pointed out that the government already has a facial picture of you. Your counterpoint is that it doesn’t have to be the government, in which case, why did you mention it. And then you said it’s because it would have meta data on your location, which is weird considering you would have bought tickets with your name on them through payment methods tied to your name. This isn’t some local high school game we’re talking about here.

Yeah, that information would just be conveyed by the tickets you paid for with your name on them.

I imagine the vast majority of people have driver’s licenses, the government already has a picture of your face.

Harvest what data?

How is that obviously satire?

99% of people in France are French

Changing “he” to “they” isn’t a political change, or shouldn’t be if you’re not a fucking shithead

Reading Marx is like reading Scripture, huh?

Is there a fully open source phone?
