Dragons live even longer than elves. They can’t be bother to properly learn the spelling of all the words every time a human civilization destroys itself and a new one rises with a new language.
So… I’m safe from deep fake?
Yea, sorry, no. You Americans cannot be trusted with something so important.
Last time Europe sent people to “help” America it didn’t end well…
Windows uses AI to determine what’s best for you. GNOME just decides it generally in advance.
Can they do an horse funeral on a Tuesday? It’s not clear from the text.
No, your statement was 100% correct. What I’m saying is that the Illuminati were the ones who changed the material tinfoil is made of in order to make it less effective.
Obviously an Illuminati plot to prevent us from effectively shielding ourselves from their mind control.
Yea… no. Sorry. I still think Crocs are ugly.
Please don’t ridicule people for being wrong. It only incentivizes them to avoid admitting mistakes.
We’re going towards a dystopia…?
I mean…
Not with that kind of attitude!
Sorry. Terrible wording on my part.
My argument is that instead of attacking Valve for being big, you should attack them for doing bad things. Your “other comment in this thread” (I assume https://lemmy.world/comment/10668748 ?) describes an aggressive practice done by Valve. Why not lead with that? The problem is not the size of these companies per se, but the way they’ve reached that size and the way they weaponize it against competitors. Focusing on attacking the size and the monopoly status of the companies is just saying “it’s not okay to be successful”.
Attack from that angle then, not from something that strongly correlates with it.
Maybe not financial, but intrusive thoughts are a thing…
Yes. The subtle distinction between having physically fit legs capable of kicking babies and actually kicking babies.
I think the whole “monopoly bad” notion is a bit off. You start opposing monopolies, but then people realized that duopolies are also bad, and next thing you know we talk about triopolies and centiopolies and whatnot.
So I think the actual number is not the thing that matters, and instead the thing we should be worrying about is cartels.
The defining feature of a cartel is the ruthless action it takes to kill competition. The monopolies everyone are so mad about are cartels of single companies, but the bad thing about them is their cartellic behavior - not the fact they are along in the market.
Steam is not a cartel.
That article gets stuck so much and makes my (relatively high end) laptop’s fan scream so hard you’d think the website was designed for that kind of hardware.
