US citizens are being asked to waive their rights to class actions or any form
You don't need to be in the US for that.
I am not.
I fail to understand why they feel the need to do this, considering people are not just suing these companies willy-nilly.
But if you look closely, they don't mention anywhere that this Mandate is only with regards to this specific product (XCOM2 in this case), which makes me think, all of these companies are planning to do some problematic thing separately and then use this to escape the consequences.
Yeah, I miserably failed at that part. Tried to add the alt text, but looks like I did it the wrong way so it didn't work.
mention what you actually are trying to say or ask
Just wanting to let people know about another instance of Mandatory Arbitration. After hitting Post, I did realise that I should have included the game's name, which I missed because I first posted this to an XCOM2 sub.
That's interesting. Only read about this in High School and maybe because of the "not usually a huge difference", it was claimed that chemical bonds don't affect decay rates.
I always felt a bit weird with that conclusion, but maybe it was just to make the maths easier, not having to include effects from another force into the calculations.
You could also cut down ppl, if they weren't interdependent and interacting with each other enough to realise fast enough and start retaliating.
One of the big factors making humans (and animals in general) have power over the trees is, that we are faster, both at action and adaptation, thanks to our superior mechanisms of Central Nervous System and Muscular systems.
But at the same time, any single human would be much more dependent upon trees in general, as compared to how much a single tree would be, upon us, or other animals. Since the seed stage of the plant is sturdy enough to let it choose its starting point, all it really needs is for the place it chose to remain within a reasonable range of the germination conditions (soil, water, air, insolation quality etc.) and it will be just fine.
#: I'm just going to write some memos in WPS Office and send it to the networked ftp server running on Binbos.
Oh and while I'm at it, I'll just ssh into a few other computers as root, using Nautilus (as root of course) and keep them all open until I shutdown, just because I want to copy their docx files.
People do the designing and architecture and programming just because it all pays well, not because they have a love for the craft.
True.
I like programming and tend to pride myself in making good code, but when I see other's attitude at work, it makes me reevaluate what I care about.
Perhaps this is the reason of the memetic difference between corporate code quality vs OSS code quality. When I contribute to Open Source (at least to other's projects), I see myself try to be as considerate as possible of multiple factors that I wouldn't even care of at work.
One of my previous employers once told me (abridged)
It's not like old times when we could slowly work to get a perfect result.
Nowadays, we need perfect results, fast.
They were asking me to do technical content writing for their website.
I quickly realised that it's actually the threshold for calling something "perfect", that has lowered over time.
Clearly, I was not fit for that work, because instead of just plagiarising and paraphrasing stuff from other websites, I insisted on reading up on material from multiple sources, understanding it well and then writing it down myself. That makes it pretty slow.
That was a year before ChatGPT, or I would just have used that thingy.
