But the ability to interpret it is also flexible.... Sometimes it's to be taking verbatim, sometimes it has to be interpreted (but only by the right people, of course)

....and his children diddling army of minions

Epicurus Dilemma... I also, cannot get past that

I'm no expert but I think systemically raping kids and assisting those perpetrators is a slightly worse violation of human dignity

From the USA? I'm skeptical...

I really can't remember the last time something positive to the world came from the USA ... I'm definitely biased as the news have turned into a non-stop fake fire alarm, but still

But I always assumed that, unless you are blocking competition, it's not legally a monopoly and harder to penalize (not that they actually penalize monopolies much in north America)

Other than making a good product and easier to run games on Linux, there is nothing preventing anyone to install other launchers or games on their own or game makers from selling through other launchers or independently, etc

Oh no!!!... Anyway

I guess what I'm really asking is, it's a bad headline from a small publisher (it's surely happened many many times for decades), can't we leave it at that without the dramatization?

If this were an isolated example, sure.... But go to all those sources you mentioned and tell me how many times some "slammed" someone else...

I know at one time there were zero bikes, now there are more than zero, and I suspect more will be created...

Correct but, there cannot always be more bikes... At some point there may not be demand for more, or materials run out or become too expensive... Taken to the extreme, you cannot produce more bikes forever

For discussion, perhaps it would be easier to reduce the complexity. In a capitalist system, if I own a fruit tree in an ideal climate then not only can it be duplicated, but either it will produce value by itself, or I will by picking its fruit.

Again, globally we may produce x billion tons of fruit this year.... Maybe a few million more next year... Can we always produce more fruit (more as in a greater number than last year) forever?

You just showed the system of value goes beyond making new products... But it is still finite, there will be only so many cars to wash (or more accurately, people willing to pay to get their car washed) or bikes that can be fixed.

It can be a big systems but it is finite

Hey I just downed a big bag of sour gummies and popcorn watching movies at home... If I keep this up I'll challenge anyone for more wasted space!
