Oh, this shit is great. You can see the contradictions.

Public Ownership is not Socialism itself, but a component of a Socialist economy. An economy where public ownership controls the large firms and key industries, ie has genuine political control, is Socialist.

China is a Socialist country run by a Communist party, which is why the overwhelming majority of major Communist orgs recognize it as such. The economy is dominated by the public sector, which controls the large majority of key industries and large firms.

Nothing screams "the public has genuine political control" like having a single political party which unilaterally bans a cartoon bear because it was compared the head of state.

Also, he has no idea how the economy works.

No, no. You see, he understands it perfectly: as the leader of the whole world and top teacup poodle in the bull pen, it works the way he says it works. And if it doesn't, that's because of somebody else. Successful businessmen and master negotiators are simply incapable of being wrong about anything. The thought of anything else is so utterly incomprehensible and impossible that it simply isn't real—like the earth being round, or women having rights. ^/s^

Not good enough. His personal wealth is still backed by his ownership in Tesla stocks, and he'll keep profiting and using them to bankroll his fascist fuckery and geopolitical interference.

Force him to sell his shares and divest.

Valve wins by doing nothing... it's a tale as old as time.

Steam's market share is a huge factor in why their competition never succeeds, but it's hardly the only reason. Steam is a whole platform, not just a launcher or storefront. And they're also cognizant that the consumers are not just a revenue source to be milked, but actually long-term customers whose loyalty is important.

It really shouldn't be a surprise that when you enter an established market, you're not going to accomplish shit by providing a lesser service while simultaneously treating the consumer worse.

I consider human life sacred

Like the lives of those cut short by denying treatment so CEOs and shareholders can make more money?

only God may judge us

Oh, fuck off. If God exists and actually cared, he/she/they would have "judged" the guy a long time ago for introducing needless suffering and cruelty.

Elmo basically threatened to rape her... Shitbag.

I understand his experience is hard to match, we all have something in our lives we're that good at

At some point, that mix of experience and ego becomes a significant liability. He's directly hurting the adoption of Rust in the kernel, while the C code he's responsible for is full of problems that would have been impossible if written in safe Rust.

You think that's bad? They have four of these "promo" dialogs to push users to the Reddit ~~spyware~~ app.

1. Unreviewed community (the one you're seeing).
2. NSFW content.
3. Trending content (yes, you read that right).
4. Special events (like r/place).

Fuck Spez.

I wish someone would try that pickup line on me. All I get is "are you an IPv4 address? You look like you've been shared around between a few hundred households" :(

The New York Times reports that "a subsidiary of Life Corporation called Voice Broadcasting Corp., which identifies Mr. Monk as its founder on its website, has received numerous payments from the Republican Party’s state committee in Delaware, most recently in 2022, as well as payments from congressional candidates in both parties."

That's nice. The robocalls were sponsored by politicians. Can we please throw them in prison to rot for corruption now? No? Is that hoping for too much?

I'm fine spending money for a quality product.

Quality product. Not DRM-laden, always-online, unoptimized garbage that pushes microtransactions in my face. It's not a price problem; it's a service problem. If I'm going to get a shittier experience as a legitimate customer, piracy is the smart thing to do.
