I’m sure with a couple hundred million more dollars and a modest 100k more per shell that flaw could be fixed. Why would you be against this? Are you a Russian bot?

A base 12 system is better then base10 objectively, because divisors are what make numbers useful and avoid decimals and fractions.

Tons of great subdivisions

2,5 and 10 is “Tons”?

A better example would be if europeans really gave their weight in grams. I don’t think they do, they use kilo’s cause they don’t really need the precision of a gram for something like that.

Do Europeans really give their height in cm? You’d think they short hand it like to like 1.7m or whatever since height is one of those things that doesn’t really need to be exact and will change by a cm or so based on the kind of shoes you are wearing, or wearing shoes at all.

You mean the organization that is basically bankrupt and at it’s peak spent 5million dollars over a year lobbying? You think they have more influence then a “video game series” that is owned by a company that has around 25billion in assets?

Maybe we could just stop making plastic of all kinds. Reduce Reuse Recycle. Recycling is literally the last resort, we don’t need most of our plastic stuff today.

hahaah. Ok sure you win. Linux TTY’s are absolutely not terminals. Sure they are called terminals, they are for all intents and purposes modern-day terminals with a long and storied history that directly links them to terminals from the 70’s but since they aren’t a physical piece of hardware that electro-mechanically connects to a mainframe, obviously they aren’t really terminals and they should be be called something else.

Do you know what a terminal is?

If and only If this law suit leads to the banning of advertisements across all media, I’d be 100% for it. But that isn’t the purpose, it’s purpose is a cash grab for a law firm.

Parasocial relationships are strong indicators of banal people that should be avoided.

Hey guys did you know I’m a good person? I used to like $Celebrity, but then I found out they did $problematic, so now I don’t like them. This cost me nothing, and no one would know but I feel the need to tell you. Aren’t I a good person?

Tell me what the “government scrutiny” is then! I have no idea except that Vietnamese game developers find it onerous. It’s a video game, how much scrutiny does it need?

I don’t think steam is doing that the government of vietnam isn’t claiming they are banning steam for that reason. What is happening is that the government of vietnam is actively hurting their domestic video game developers because they have instituted onerous “government scrutiny” whereas if you want to publish on Steam it costs like $150 and an email address.

The problem solely lies with the Vietnamese government, as a self-inflicted problem, no where else.

So if I publish a game on steam I am now a colonizer? If I am a Vietnamese citizen who downloads a game that hasn’t gone through “government scrutiny” am I now a collaborator? What if I am a Vietnamese game developer that has published directly to steam without giving a shit about whatever censorship my government is trying to implement? Should I be sent to reeducation?

Ah Of course. It is impossible to criticize any actions taking place by any entity against a capitalist entity without defending capitalism yourself. Cehckmate liberals.

I don’t think that is reasoning for banning steam, especially considering that many games on steam aren’t DRMd at all.

It’s absolutely not. If you are at any kind of scale whatsoever, your yearly spend will be a minimum of 2x at a cloud provider rather then creating and operating the same system locally including all the employees, contracts, etc.

Sounds like the problem here is the “government scrutiny” not steam.

Whenever I see a person blaming Russian’s and Bots for going against their narrative, I know I’ve found a liberal. When someone else entertaining the option and suggesting the people downvoting the liberal are in the wrong, well it looks like I found two liberals.
