If that's the definition of ownership we're going with, does the fact that I can sell my steam account mean I do actually own every game on it regardless of DRM? Also, does a lack of a demand for a game degrade your ownership?

Counterpoint: During the polar vortex everyone was told that staying outside in the -40 or lower temperatures for more than five minutes risked frost bite. I worked 2nd shift so I was getting out dead of night at the coldest time, walking to the back of the lot to a car covered in a sheet of ice that simply did not allow me to even open the door to physically start it. That's a 4-5 minute walk already to a car that I can't open, who knows how long to chip away ice I can't see, sometimes can't even reach leading to struggling with the door using brute force trying to get leverage standing on icy pavement just to FINALLY enter my car, which is still -40 inside.

Or I could have had remote start and skipped the potentially lost fingers. Thank goodness I had coworkers who started staying behind to help those that didn't.

For most people it's a lot more simple and subconscious than that. White=positive, black=negative. Most people do not consciously apply this to race, but they don't have to for the subconscious association to take root.

If that was even slightly true my comment would be unreadable to you.

Yeah this is just unsettling to the max...

Yes and it was insightful.

Yeah they're ALL over at least northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin. And for the longest time, it was the only place I could find zero-carb bread that didn't taste like garbage.

This is literally how babies learn to speak. If babies can do it, so can we.

Maybe the game was free on EGS but not on Steam?

[-] Squirrelanna@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

Well clarified. Thank you for that. While that doesn't bother it nearly as much, it does find itself battling the camera more often than it'd like so it can definitely see where you're coming from.

Agreed, though these aren't mutually exclusive. Lemmy as it stands is objectively a better platform in terms of mobile user experience now that third party apps were gutted for Reddit. So switching, at least for itself, is a protest using this platform while Reddit either dies a slow, painful death or takes strides to unshittify their stuff. Will probably end up using both if Reddit gets it together but that's unlikely.
