I have read the Subscriber Agreement, most of it is standard legal boilerplate. I don’t see anything about collection of data. Steam is a vehicle for capitalism, no one has claimed otherwise.

They do provide a good service. There’s no subscription fee. They maintain delisted games so you can download games you bought years ago that are no longer available. Not to mention steam OS and other projects like the steam deck that put pressure on other gaming companies to do better.

This could go up in a cloud of smoke at any point and it likely will as soon as Gabe passes on and the in fighting begins. So this is a “good king” situation and the system itself will not be sustainable long term by any means.

Whatever definition of “liberal democratic system” you are using is very narrow and not the norm. Marijuana is illegal in most of the world especially for non medical uses. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_cannabis

Just because a thing is common wherever you live doesn’t mean it’s not illegal, and some jack ass cop won’t decide to make you spend a night in jail.

That’s usually referred to as the F slur.

They wore them so long they fused into their heads.

It may be legal in many places now, but it’s not legal to be intoxicated in public on any substance in most places. If you are going to do that have a sober person with you to monitor. Especially the first time.

Downvote me all you like, I’m trying to keep people out of jail. Cops can arrest you for just looking like you’re intoxicated and that can lead to a whole lot of bull shit. I was a public defender, I’ve seen it happen.

Yeah, VR is best as a solo experience. The metaverse idea comes from cyberpunk books and it is basically never presented as a good idea.

Apple has been doing that for years

War with who? The only war that will happen will be because of the incoming administration.

I believe so, but I never used it and didn’t read too much on it at the time. It was designed for the steam machine concept they were trying to push at the time. So it would be weird if it wasn’t.

Or if you rent. I could run an Ethernet cable to my office from my router, but it would have to run upstairs and across a few doorways.

Or as Rush put it, “If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.”

The law is basically this, it’s why nearly everyone hates the government.

Old steam os was an Ubuntu derived OS. Ubuntu has issues relating to the organization that runs it. New steam os is basically a coat of paint on top of Arch which is community based. The old os is deprecated.

The version on steam deck is fantastic, but they have been polishing it for desktop use for a while now. I can’t wait to have it available.

Longstanding means since Reddit went public (or since Reddit started gearing up to go public)

Pelosi is as bad as Mitch. These corporate backed dinosaurs have no business representing the people.

They cant run servers forever. Which is why they should release the server code when they decide to shut down.

They do have a public CEO now.

He isn’t some school shooter. He isn’t a crash out. He deliberately took steps to materially change the balance of power.
