Fair enough :)

I'll give you the csgo gambling. That is fucked up.

But their refund policy is best in class. I don't care how they got there, it's better than shops give me for actual physical games...

I'd love to see what you consider an alternative better storefront.

Elaborate?

It's easy to just spout generic steam hate, but I'd love to hear what steam does worse than other pc storefronts.

To be honest, books are the only form of media I don't pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it's so easy...

After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)

Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result

While it was an interesting read, the article is quite outdated and the author is overly negative of literally everything, not just privacy. If a browser has a glowy button, it's horrible because it's too fancy... I feel for the guy...

I'd just take a clear stance on something right from the bat, doesn't matter what. AI is always needlessly careful when you ask it to pick a favorite color/food/soccer team/religion/skincolor/country/...

The weird thing is that once you get a foot in the door, Japanese immigration policies actually aren't that strict. You just need a guarantor (company) to be willing to hire you.

The language barrier and hesitancy of companies to hire non-Japanese is the actual barrier, not so much the immigration policies themselves. The government could ofcourse encourage companies to hire foreigners...but Japan changes at a glacial pace.

I'm sure they'll be ready to deal with the new world under trump by 2035-40

I tried using it. Putting my phone down on any surface would trigger it. Made my biometrics completely useless. Too sensitive on my device, even on the lowest settings :(

I've seen multiple ppl review them and say they are complete shit.

The lack of staggering between the rows would drive me nuts. Fuck that...
