They claim that they don't link/save your search history so although they have your details for payment, technically it's not linked. If they aren't lying...

You're accusing Cory Doctorow, the guy who invented the phrase "enshittification", of making a blog post that's really an advert...? Really???

Depends on the age of your tracks, if you have old Victorian bridges etc or aging signal systems it can be very hard indeed.

(London btw)

Have a read on the trouble the 2600 guys have been having sending out emails for the next HOPE conference - the junk filter is also great at filtering out topics it deems unsuitable.

How do you provide evidence you didn't use something????

Can only speak for the UK but as the lowest civil court here, small claims decisions are not binding on any other court (including other small claims courts) but they are considered "pervasive" and thus a judge should be aware and take them into consideration.

He said he was UK based... 100% unenforceable, an employment tribunal wouldn't even bother hearing it

Did he say he wasn't reviewing any longer or would now just be a contributor instead of a more active role?

Pronounced "shitter"

If you replaced "company" with "monopoly" in your last sentence, I agree.

Also it depends what's driving that attitude... if it's an ethos from Gabe then great but he won't be around forever... what happens when he dies/retires?

Many companies have started with great ethics that went out of the window when the founders moved on, and Steam is in a fantastic position to enshitify if it wanted to.

You have the same problem as my mother who also cannot distinguish between being told she is wrong and being called a liar.
