The issue is that someone else holds the key to your license. They can revoke it at any time, with 0 meaningful consequences.

We must now provide our own physical media to store the game...which in principle is fine and makes more sense than a game disk. However, the reliance on corporations to not fuck you over is the issue.

Archiving all your games is easier than said done too. To properly "keep" every game, you'll need a lot of high-capacity storage devices. Going by common file backup strategy, we need to store at least 3 copies, ideally 1 off site somehow. That's going to add up quick.

And hopefully your game is DRM free and doesn't try to phone home looking for a valid license on a deprecated server.

It's meant to be a joke, it clearly didn't land like I thought, oh well.

The new map has no terrain detail, so I, jokingly, took to mean that they literally flatted out the terrain. Which would cause all sorts of climate change.

I just tell them I don't like these apps scanning pictures of my kids and knowing their exact location at all times. My phone also has a lot of my kids pictures that I don't want being scanned for AI.

If a 40year old man had constant microphone, camera and GPS access to my kids, I'd be justified to go buy a gun. Why should a "corporation" be treated any different?

And privacy is not about hiding, it's about keeping nosey people out of our lives. Like closing the windows when you're talking about your finances so the neighbors can't hear. You're not hiding anything illegal, you just don't want strangers to know every detail of your life.

Next update? No, it’s re-enabled automatically when ever you have an important conversation, that way you can’t forget to turn it back on!

I hate what google has become.

I like McMaster-Carr, it’s the greatest catalog of industrial supplies.

Also the markup on the first cutters that showed up is insane. $90 on McMaster, only $57 at home deopt

It sounds like you dogged a bullet. Management didn't try to reach out to you at all in that hour to ask where you were? They didn't see the email and figure out it was technical hiccup and reschedule the interview?

Gas pump ads are the worst. I stopped going to a station because they couldn't be muted, and they're the ads that scream at you or brain rot craft videos. I wouldn't have minded so much if was only the "good news" segment or usefull PSAs. But yelling at me at 7am to buy beef jerky is not okay.

If a person came up to you at the pump and offered a flyer, that's okay. But if they started screaming at you to buy their shit, that'd be harassment. Gas pumps should not be allowed to "harass" people.

So we can ship it tomorrow? Great I just told the investors, so we're now leagly obligated to ship it tomorrow.

Beep must have written the bot.

Good. If they want security, hire security. No store clerk should be expected to intervene. Most they should be responsible for is keeping them self safe and and calling a manager/police once its safe for them to do.

what did I just read? That woman needs to dump that boy. That boy needs reeducation on basic cleaning.

This gives the same vibes as "I don't wash my privates because it's gay".
