Obviously Valve and the developer collaborated to steal money from the consumers who wouldn’t have bought the game without the promotion.

In a free market, the cut should generally be optimized to gain as much money as possible. They have perhaps calculated that 30% is the correct point for that.
My Lenovo Thinkpad just broke… again.
Daym, I though those things are tanks. Which model?
I used it for a while with an m2 macbook perhaps half a year ago, but ended up getting a PC so I wouldn’t have to deal with so much jank.
The times when a single developer was important to Linux were in the 90s.
I don’t want to pretend that this (this being how and why people think the way they think about trans rights et al) is a simple issue, which is why what I say on two different comments might be slightly incongruent. I think I was mostly answering your specific question in my second comment without so much trying to address or bolster my first comment.
Are you saying most people are anti-trans?
No, I think it’s more nuanced than just black-or-white allies and anti-trans people. The level of pro- or anti-transness within individuals falls on a spectrum that’s shaped like a bell curve, and the majority in the middle are usually amenable to trans rights if they bump into the issue in a way that resonates with them. Like for instance in their personal life with friends or family.
But less amenable if they mostly face the issue on TV, social media or via angry activists. You might then recognize these people as anti-trans, especially if the issue is deeply personal to you.
And that people who aren’t anti-trans are somehow not of sane mind?
No, that’s not what I was trying to say. In fact, I’d say that genuinely anti-trans people (the other end of the bell curve) are the insane ones. Socio- and/or psychopathic. My claim (possibly a bit extraordinary claim in this day and age) is that most people are not at that end.
Most people agree with the ultrarich on this issue (at least initially, before social media insanity), but only the ultrarich can afford making arbitrary people hate them without any good reason. That’s why it looks like only the billionaires are doing it.
Then they go to Twitter with these opinions and go insane and the whole thing enters a neverending tailspin.
Elon is slightly different insofar that one of his own kids is trans. So that’s not entirely due to Twitter, but there’s also some lived experience at the bottom of it all (I assume here that he spent time with said child).
They sound reasonable. I don’t get why people downvote this.
Brigading. Lemmy is anti-libertarian for the most part.
They’d need to do some pretty fucking advanced hackery to be able to do surveillance on you just via the model. Everything’s possible I guess, but … yeah perhaps not.
If they could do that, essentially nothing you do on your computer would be safe.
I’d like to like KDE but every time I use it there’s a bunch of minor cuts. Instability.
Might be that you really don’t need VMs but just lightweight namespace containers. If so, you can use docker/podman, systemd-nspawn or various other tools. The overhead will be less than 1% if you stay within the same architecture as your host.
Thanks for making my bubble a little bit better <3
Wayland is not experimental.
I’ve been trying to sell mine. Went down to 60% of the original price and no takers.
My tip: Don’t take funny-colored borders or funny keyboards unless you’re 120% sure you don’t want to sell it in half a year.
Sorry, I took your rhetorical question as a genuine one.

Yes, because nobody (including you) is probably going to do it better: https://www.theguardian.com/news/oliver-burkeman-s-blog/2014/may/21/everyone-is-totally-just-winging-it
Some people hate all rich people regardless of what they have gotten due to their work.
