Unfortunately, as long as all these storefronts sell mere subscriptions, players would suffer if any of them closes. Hence, players would benefit greatly from a monopoly that is too big too fail, since it prevents them losing games every few years when another steam/epic competitor closes doors.

You mean anything with~~out~~ world in its name?

I wonder if even without this law, one could claim false advertising against any subscription service that looks like a bit to own service.

Then they would need to pay everything back they ever earned if the company ever goes bankrupt. I imagine a bankrupt company doesn't have much to pay back.

I think you already used a pretty nice way, which is using shadowing. If one variable is only used for the creation of another, simply shadowing it keeps your namespace clean.

Sometimes it doesn't make sense to give the shadowed variable the same name, because that name doesn't describe its content very well. But in this case it seems like that is not a concern.

You could also improve the current NixOS setup, that would make creating a new instance a lot easier!

Right, and I also forgot privatising things like water and then let them shut off water for poor people who cannot pay like in Chile.

Translation:

Allowing the private sector to take a larger role in society with government oversight

Privatise profits, socialise losses

Simplifying the tax code to close loopholes in cooperation with the provinces and territories

Lower overall taxes, austerity

Ending corporate subsidies and supply management where a return on investment cannot be delivered

End climate-protecting subsidies

I thought Twitter was once forced but a court to enable blocking for all users against all users. Isn't this why we are able to block advertisers?

What a convenient way for police to ship you a backdoored version.

Hi,

I have a mastodon account and would like to follow some newspapers with that. I just did, but the newspapers are posting so much that my whole timeline is just spammed with their posts. Often also stuff I am not interested in.

Is anyone else here following newspapers on mastodon? How are you handling the spam?

"irritiert"

So ein Blutbad fände ich auch ganz schön irritierend, ja.

 

Besides putting too many devices on a single wall socket, that draw too much power, what is supposed to happen?

Like say I chain ten dividers and put a single vacuum cleaner at the end. Is that more dangerous than plugging it directly into the wall?
