Why Steam can be considered a monopolistic platform?

Jump

  • I reject that idea. The argument is that users are too stupid. MS never prevented me from installing and using Chrome or Firefox or any other browser.

  • The monopoly case against MS was bullshit. They had all kinds of bad business practices to go after and they decided to go after them for including a web browser in the OS. They fucking made the whole process a waste of time.

  • Linus got popular, so many communities decided they have to hate him now.

    • RX5700XT to RX6700XT a worthwhile upgrade for 1440 gaming? Or something else?

    Jump

  • I moved from a 5700XT to a 6750XT and it was well worth it. It struggled with Cyberpunk 2077 to running it smoothly. The 5700 started having issues with newer titles, but the 6750 is still going strong.

  • But, but, but he's going to make the right people suffer.

    • Sounds about right.

  • Thunderbird in 2024 still doesn't give you the option to use 12 hour time.

    • Sounds about right.

  • It is, but not enough to move the needle. It also carries a bunch of bloat.

  • Quick, everybody pick a different app! Chaos ensues.

    • Democrats should have listened to Bernie Sanders, historians say

    Jump

  • You don't need permission to lead. But Bernie's MO is to say good things then hope others DO them. He likes being the outsider with no responsibility or dirt thrown his way from trying to get things done.

  • I get we have to do this, but I'm sick and tired of playing defense. Be nice if there was a Democrat or Liberal plan to rally behind when we have the majority. Something relatively comprehensive so we don't end up relying on single issue voters.

  • The ultimate back seat driver.

    • 4B in the US anyone?

    Jump

  • The problem, if you look at the data, is lots of women voted for Trump too.

    • Bernie Would Have Won

    Jump

  • Pure delusion.

    • Musk got in trouble again

    Jump

  • They'll keep doing it until they face actual consequences.

    • Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC

    Jump

  • But bandwidth is only limited in points in time, not usage over a month. Makes sense to limit in times of congestion, but not outside that. That is the OP's point.
