You’ll be sued and fined, not blacklisted lol. Though, the shit on your background check might blacklist you effectively

? I think this is a good thing lol. I am happy women are being protected. I have a sister and a mother and a misogynistic father. We don’t talk to him.

I can’t help but imagine the outrage

Literally only you can prevent that. This is something that affects 50% of the population universally. For some reason you can’t comprehend this being an exception to the rule. Only you can be that change, no one can do that for you. I hope you are able to stop imagining fake outrage one day. It will be a long journey, should you wish to achieve it, but I believe in you.

you gladly feed them your viewing habits to increase their value to their shareholders though 🤷

you aren’t hurting their bottom line by not watching ads. You’re just making a tiny dent into a single line of thousands on some slides on the evp of youtube’s quarterly presentation. No one else notices.

Your data and viewing habits and patterns and all of the device info you leak and broadcast? The wifi signals your phone is always seeing? Oh that bluetooth device that just rode past your apartment while your blocking ads on youtube? Definitely not being seen by them. Apps are spyware these days, and they are spying on everything

By “we” you mean the people who own the shit (I would go with ‘they’), then sure

Get off of Github and I bet you those drop to nearly zero. Using Github is a choice with all of the AI slop it enables. They aren’t getting rid of it any time soon. The want agents and people making shitty code PRs—that’s money sent Microsoft’s way in their minds.

Now that they see what the cost of using Github is maybe Godot will (re?)consider codeberg or a self-hosted forgejo instance that they control.

It sure is different, but the people in charge dont know or care to know

Because thats how they’re getting away with it? Who cares if it’s true or not, no one who can do anything about it cares. Tell your reps to start caring about monopolies.

You may say that Steam is just an app—don’t tell me, tell your representatives

Tell your representatives, not me. According to our representatives, what Apple has is not a monopoly. You don’t have to convince me, you have to convince them. If you truly care about this issue, vote accordingly.

What exactly does Apple think that they’re brining to the equation in order to deserve that 30?

Because Valve can and Tim wants his yachts. No one is gonna stop em either. The App Store and Steam are the same thing: Store fronts that sell other peoples goods. You may say that Steam is just an app—don’t tell me, tell your representatives

every single one of em should lose their drivers license. Suddenly the roads are even safer now

nah, I know how to use a roundabout. Maybe other drivers with a license can learn the rules if the road as well or lose their license

I know in northern Maine it’s very easy to dig and immediately get flooded. Know a guy who created a pond by just digging and letting the water fill in naturally

is a guy who always has crew cuts or high and tights i’m finally doing the opposite and letting it all grow, i feel the same though haha but my dad and mom always hated my hair long 😖

how important customer good will is

I say corporate branding and subsequent brand worship, but potato potato. So many games better than D&D. My first ever rpg I played as a player was FFG’s Star Wars and I had more fun in that than all of my DMing 5e before that. Never will gm D&D and haven’t since 2019

It wasn’t gonna be M$ my guy

Europeans will absolutely not fight back on it and will comply willingly with zero hesitation, unfortunately

Yes, there are mechanisms for that in Wikipedia

Edit: commented before I saw that other comment with a link, but that’s a good link to look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Protection_policy
