It needs the space for battery and cooling.

Why?

It's not like it hasn't received plenty of coverage.

I'd bet single serve is a pretty serious portion of soda sales. Restaurants (especially fast food) and gas station/convenience stores sell a lot of soda.

My concern is that something I could trust would need to have a well structured organization running it (as is the case for plenty of other open source projects), and I think it would be difficult for such an organization to successfully manage such a project with all the laws all over the world about medical devices and devices implanted inside of people.

I'd absolutely prefer the actual interface being as limited as possible, with any actual signal processing or other chips being outside or at least surface level. But I just think it would be hard to navigate medical laws (which exist for good reason).

I would think about genuinely completely open source (at every level, all software tooling needed, etc. The regulatory issues would obviously make that super hard though.

There absolutely isn't a company I'd trust with that.

All memes are dumb. They're supposed to be.

I'm talking about being offended by that.

That's dumb as hell.

I then gave my opinion, or my philosophical argument, rhat i believe that fomo is a form or coercion.

This is not an opinion. It is not a "philosophical argument". It's a lie.

And it's absolutely incoherent gibberish. None of the words you are using mean anything close to what you're claiming they do. You make posts, using your arbitrary, completely incorrect definition of words no one but you knows, then need many, many posts of consistently changing your wrong definitions for anyone to even be able to follow. There's no path to a "discussion" when nothing you're posting tracks in any way.

It's not an opinion. You are objectively wrong, completely redefining words to mean things that are entirely different.

You are not entitled to lie with words without being called out for it.

lol now I want to know what meme he's so mad about.

No valid definition of coercion has any resemblance in any context to what is happening here.

Some things are absolute, and the fact that you don't even sort of have any idea what you're talking about is one of them. You're not making a "philosophical argument". You're spouting completely incoherent gibberish.

It does not even loosely resemble the broad, non-legal definition of coercion in any way. There are zero similarities. Let alone the statutory definition, which is not near as broad.

It also is not and does not resemble FOMO, which is also not illegal anywhere and is practiced by every business on the planet.

They're only required to take stuff down in response to DMCA claims.

They have absolutely no obligation for their alternate process to treat claims as valid until proven false.

lol it very obviously is not a crime. It's not even a civil action.

I don't support the whale business model for video games, but the idea that it's somehow a crime is a laughable lack of understanding of the law.

Lootboxes are gambling.

Buying specific known digital items is a gross business model, but has no resemblance to gambling.

The number of games that people published doesn't matter. There weren't more than 300 that weren't worse than dogshit.

Steam having no barrier to entry is not a bad thing. It's their obligation given their market share.

The 700th best game in a single year damn well better be a solo dev. Even saying there are half that released in a year that aren't shovelware is generous.

If you're a studio that can't do better than that you deserve to shut down.

Throw a couple Apple shares in a college fund for me.

Obligatory "check your library". It isn't "literally anything ever published any time" like piracy is close to, but in a lot of places (at least in the US), there's a pretty meaningful selection of content you can borrow perfectly legally.

Making enough to live on as the 700th best PC game in a year is a lot. There weren't anywhere near 700 actually respectable games released last year.
