One of our brave posters had information that was going to lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton and then they took the whole site out

I’m glad blue sky exists for two reasons:

1. It will likely contribute to more Elon meltdowns
2. It acts as a containment zone for celebrity and brand worship that’s marginally less bad than twitter

AV1 when available for everything other than 3d content which is ideally x265.

Honestly it blows my mind that x264 is still as popular as it is.

The United States is completely aware of the atrocities being committed and no amount of additional war crimes will change its position.

Its interests in the region that it views as necessary to maintaining its global hegemonic power are viewed as more important than any action by an allied actor even to the extent of what a decently large portion of its populace deems genocide.

Yes- it’s the United States

For anyone reading this who it scares off, by job hopping 3 times in my first 5 years of employment post-college I just under tripled my salary.

Move early move often and keep interviewing while you have a job as it lets you be the pickiest in choosing where you’ll have to spend your working hours.

Companies overwhelmingly have no loyalty to you whatsoever (how I wish I was in a co-op so this wouldn’t be so), so aggressively pit them against eachother regarding your labor.

Yes- the court is an illegitimate anti-democratic institution and the long-term goal should be its abolishment.

It is the final tool of the American oligarchs to prevent needed structural change in the country.

Anything to highlight this is a good thing. Playing ping-pong with court expansion would be great to accelerate its necessary demise.

Why would the main benefactors and purchasers of this policy position (the Big 3) greenlight their destruction? This is US capitalist policy at play. They can’t compete internationally and had to purchase their domestic protection.

I’m hoping the EU takes them/other digital storefronts to court at some point about my right to sell/transfer my licenses to all these products.

I should absolutely be able to sell my license to a game to another person. It’s bizarre that I can in the physical world but not the digital world where the actual “transfer” is 1000000x easier.

Also from just a platform standpoint it’s absurd I can’t disable updates on steam. I know some games offer alternative solutions to this through the beta branch feature but that is a band-aid over the full solution.

Do you have access to a computer that could either play ports of those games or is strong enough to emulate those games?

This would be my answer to that question

In fact I’d come up with a list of all the exclusives that you’re interested in playing and use that in your reasoning as well.
