Oh nice that’s exactly the kind of Jenny I want, I’ll check out her Patreon.

YouTube has rapidly censoring more and more by way of demonetization and language policing.

What kind of videos are those monthly ones?

I remember looking into getting Azure and GCP certs some years ago and went through a few prep courses. It turns out getting the initial certs for cloud services like them is basically to be a salesman for them. It’s like they’re training IT people inside companies to be embedded salespeople for them. Insidious, and kinda genius.

I’m not talking about the amount of people, I am talking about who the people who go regularly now (i.e. the clientele) are.

They are not worse now than they were before. They mostly are the ones who were there before.

But it hasn’t. It’s always been the same. The people who were very loyal to Tim Hortons in the 80s and 90s and 00s haven’t moved on to another ubiquitous coffee chain. There aren’t any others to move on to for the vast majority of the country.

The clientele is the same as it always was.

Is Chicago deep dish a pizza or a casserole?

You’re conflating two different somethings. Anti-AI mob is not the same as AI. Being against mob mentality doesn’t make you inherently pro AI.

It’s possible to be pro or anti mob mentality and AI in various different combinations.

Pretty sure the Nazis at Twitter do just as much virtue signalling. Every play in the right wing playbook these days is to pretend to care about a value and then do nothing for, or the opposite of, it.

Which jurisdictions have this regulation? I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing as a leading retailer having to implement a disadvantageous sales agreement for the sake of their competition.

Again, this is a standard retail clause that has existed long before Steam. It would apply no matter what combination of retailers they choose to sell at because they all have this. This is why digital games are sold at the same price as physical copies when they cost less to distribute: the brick and mortar retailers have this same clause.

There’s no good reason to treat this like a Steam-specific thing. Every retailer has such a clause, big or small. This entire idea is based on a frivolous class action suit that is not going anywhere because it’s launched on the shaky grounds of the belief that Steam exclusively uses the MFN clause and that they think a 30% cut is too much.

That’s a pretty standard retail agreement clause that’s been around for decades before digital distribution. It’s not unique to Steam at all, letalone them doing it uniquely.

This would be the comment I would write if I was promoted to respond like the most stereotypical reddit gamer possible.

It’s not very pro AI, it’s just not rabidly anti AI. There have been too many pitfalls with AI causing major issues in the piracy world to be very pro AI as pirates.

Either way, nothing on this list seems to be for AI acceptance reasons.

The purity politics of… not aligning with those who significantly fund far right national political parties??

Except Mullvad put out that statement in question as a defense. Their response is enough to turn people off the company.

Because that’s not the comparison being made.

Meanwhile men who insist on cargo shorts and flip flops to go with ill-fitting graphic t-shirts complain that women don’t find them attractive and turn into incels.
