I'm shocked about this too but I think it's hubris + the size of the market. Lots of dollars to be made, and so you get these slimy weasels with bland faces coming in, never having loved a game in their life, and coming to the conclusion: Oh gamers just stare at a screen with colorful things? Hey we could just make it a shop front, where you can buy colors in the colorful screen but pay us real money.

Microsoft is clearly not making decisions to benefit the customer. The best they can do is accidentally benefiting customers every once in a while. It's simply not good enough, since Linux is literally made by customers with the express purpose to be the best for us. 😊

I think the nsa is not going to cast doubts over tor by leaking information from normal people or small fry criminals like pirates. and if you're a dissident from a different country than usa, it's probably also fine. I'm a lot more worried about the vpns that pay or own vpn review sites or have ties to surveillance companies

1. yes
2. the same, but probably to an even more unknown IP that is also changing frequently. the content itself should look equally random

🪟: absolutely atrocious. let's do for-profit low quality software instead 😡

ignorance = strength 😂

i see, and i definitely agree with the environmental aspect. but automated coding before ai is new to me, do you have a keyword i could look up?

how is this even downvoted? every one of you knows that programming has some exciting moments but sometimes just a 50 lines very trivial and predictable text that has to be written by someone. i don't see horses trying to pick up old carts to pull them around meaninglessly 😂

😳 oh no a wrongful thought. maybe we can get him back to the right view if we give him more ai
