it's probably only beneficial to China if the housing bubble is deflated. Astronomically inflated housing prices are only bad for economic growth in any country as they create unnecessary upward pressure for mortgages and rents that then push up wages in high housing cost areas and therefore make it more unaffordable to do business and produce things.
The only problem is to make sure it doesn't just spiral out of hand and that all housing projects of Evergrande will finish and people wont lose their homes. Then investors can realize their losses as they should and not expect a bailout.
It's basically like sawdust and that is commonly used when growing fungi. I presume not all mushrooms like coffee. Some don even grow only on specific type of wood or waste.
The Oyster Mushrooms I buy from them are delicious.
So State labelled media was basically just keep wrong narratives under wraps, keep people away from them and shaft them down the algorithm where nobody would see it unless they went especially looking for it. It never had anything to do with "state media" since no western state media got the label, never had anything to do with lies, disinformation or propaganda either, since what is wider media these days anyway. It had everything to do with not following the Euro-Atlantic narrative and god forbid letting the designated "enemy countries" voice their side of the story. Why there is so much Twitter/X hate rn. in the media is because the western global ministry of truth fears losing grasp of the narrative if too much freedom is introduced.
I want to hear no bullshit here about how this was actually ever good and necessary and why we need narrative control for "democracy" and for protection of the fragile minds of the plebs who don't know any better than to believe Russian and Chinese lies.
Edit: Oh right fediverse is has sizeable portion of assmad X refugees who now hate X and Musk and left when the people they don't like got to post again. I must have struck a nerve Explains partly the dislikes. The others I guess are the unironic censorship supporters on a free speech platform, for various reasons.
Well if human body is a machine made out of a chemical soup and that requires those parts working together in harmony, then of all possible states those parts can be most are logically non ideal.
Doubt... the same people who are pearl clutching about people losing faith in MSM are the ones who want this. They fear losing control of the narrative.
it's not even really about the money, even if it will fuck the devs and ruin projects and lives, but the breach of trust and a mark that more shit is probably on it's way if this goes through. Unity owns a ecosystem that many people depend on and now they really start squeezing. It's not right.
This is why things that act as commons should be either nationalised or replaced with free software.
If you are comparing a third party library changing its monetization model
If you starting point is "it's just money lol", then beside your general screwed sense of justice this is another major problem in you thinking. Many people have made it blatantly clear that this is not just some price increase that devs can just wave away. It can cause cost of millions to devs at worse and that's bad if you have a tight and fixed budget and you are years in development. It's also a breach trust that will make nobody want to use unity ever again and that's bad when people have sometimes invested their lives in it. That's bad for Unity too yes, but it's bigger that just one company. I have already told you this and why I sympathise with the devs.
And you can't see that violence is not just when somebody bleeds. Also you really can't imagine that anything that isn't legal is a justified action to a wrongdoing.
just wondering, what is your opinion of Palestine struggle against Israeli encroachment and occupation of their lands? 😜
Ooh, think of the Unity's corporate suits. You monster. they are people too. Think of their sleepless nights over this. They might have to go to therapy...
You really just base you sense of justice on legality. You really would just watch as landlords increase rents for 200% just for greed and watch people go homeless and then feel smugly superior when you condemn and report said homeless for throwing shit in the windows of the landlords. A Tennant might even have the chance to move elsewhere. Unity devs might not have such a easy path out.
You really are a awful person without a heart. Call me a psycopath all you like.
I'm not saying I would be justified yo make death threats about this, since as you say this doesn't really concern me personally and I have not made any. I'm just saying that people who get hurt by this have the full moral right to do this if they go down that path.
Also I'm really not buying this "Even greedy leechlike corporate suits still have the right to feel safe when doing decisions that will fuck over countless of of live and make society all the worse for it" line of argument that you are pushing between the lines. Violence is not just when somebody bleeds, you know and this is just response one one kind of violence with other type of violence. And this is not just a provider charging for a product. Many people get hurt by this and years of their lives might go to waste. And for what? Corporate greed, it's not like unity is fucking struggling themselves and they need the cashflow. What they needed was bigger margins.
If you want to to change something then yes. A empty performance that the target can ignorance is worse than doing nothing, because then you falsely think "you at least did something". ESPECIALLY so if all other methods are exhausted or unavailable to you and situation is a a great importance to you.
Illegality of methods does not make the cause unjust, since many unjust things in this world are completely legal and will get you imprisoned or killed if you oppose them. The most extreme example of illegality vs injustice was that in 1940s Europe it was highly illegal to protect jews from being hunted down and killed.
Despite it's illegality. it's a type of protest. Better that being pissed off in twitter and the still cucking to unity in the end, but worse that just stopping using unity and porting existing games off the engine. Still, not everybody can still just do that, this is why something like this is understandable. Imagine being a indie dev team years in development with mounting costs and backers expecting a product and you expecting return for your work and then unity turns ups the leeching and fucking up your calculations and forcing you either to delay the launch, pay the financial cost of that delay, port to a different engine and learn a new skillset for that engine or bite the bullet and pay. Also Imagine the unity devs who will be out of a job because of this.
