It would also mean a huge hit on their own tech sector, if not near wipeout.

It’s one of those situations that, sure, they could, just like a monkey could purposely snap the branch where he and his friend are sitting on and both fall.

As for Europe, yes, it would be a painful transition, but eventually it could build its own infrastructure anyway

Uh?

Or - bear with me here - it’s just a funny detail and people are laughing about it. Because any sea is obviously going to be north of it

Uh, if that was drawn today, people would accuse it of being AI made.

No point or anything here, just a random thought that came to me

No, just cringe. The pope died of cringe.

nah, people are talking about what he said years ago. He didn't say anything recently (or at least, not that I know of)

I feel that the original quote “better a pig than a fascist” is more relevant and important these days than this take

This is wrong. Google will now share Android code after each new Android release, instead of releasing over time in real time. This is not uncommon in open source projects.

I’m not defending, or claiming that they won’t try to make Android closed source eventually in the future, but right now what you said isn’t correct

A one-week boycott is completely ineffective by design.

Amazon's executives aren't sweating over losing a week of your business. They're a trillion-dollar company that thinks in quarters and years, not days. They'll gladly wait out this symbolic week of inconvenience.

The moment you put an expiration date on your boycott, you've surrendered all leverage. They have zero incentive to change anything because they know you'll be back ordering Prime deliveries next Monday.

Real - actual - boycotts work by creating genuine economic pressure that forces companies to reconsider their practices. They require commitment, not just temporarily pausing your shopping habits.

Emphasis on >habits<, because we're not talking about political parties, it's a shop. A humongous shop for sure, but still a shop, and you can buy what you want from other places.

If you want to actually impact Amazon, you need to be willing to walk away indefinitely until they address your concerns. Otherwise, it's just performative.

That’s so stupid. Boycott only works if it’s indefinite, because you want the company to try to win you back.

If you say that you are coming back, what exactly are you expecting to happen? They’ll change nothing because you already said that you are coming back

Better to suck Putin’s cock than to have a female president

Long story short, there were two main issues that people had with Epic:

• they made exclusivity a thing inside pc platform (this was the main issue for most people)
• Tim Sweeney is generally disliked

The first issue speaks for itself. The second needs a bit more context.

Tim Sweeney has an history of being arbitrary. One year he says one thing, the next another. Relevant to this case, Tim was openly against PC gaming back in the day, while Valve was pushing for PC gaming. We’re talking around 2010, where console gaming was predominant, most publisher favored consoles against PC. Valve at the time was one of the few companies betting on the PC platform.

Now, he’s suddenly pro PC gaming. People see this as him doing a 180, and trying to take the spoils from Valve’s work.

Then there were also some comments that he made that aged like milk, but generally speaking this is why people take an issue with Epic but not Steam

This sub is delusional

This meme says:

• windows 8 somehow is more beloved than Windows 10 (lmao)
• linux is just one single OS, instead of an agglomerate of hundreds of distributions
• and implies that every single one of them got better with time (lmao)

Who made this meme forgot about android lol

I’m not involved with the original drama - nor do I want to entertain it to begin with - but good on you guys for being transparent

When I saw the thumbnails, I legit thought that this game was some kind of spin off from guardians of the galaxy

Respectefully disagree. Reasonable would've been making it opt in, not opt out and justifying it with "would be too difficult to explain".
