Perhaps, but on the other side of that coin: Because valve doesn't have legal obligations to make money snd increase shareholder value, they put a lot of money elsewhere. The products they create are awesome (literally the best launcher on PC, Tim Sweeney is probably upset because his is ass) and invest heavily in things better for gamers:

• digital returns were huge when they first rolled out
• (IMO) spearheading game streaming with steam in home streaming & the steam link
• creating awesome games and not milking them for perpetual profit (other than maybe in game items but i don't want to have this discussion)
• investing heavily in alternative ways to play (steam machines, aforementioned steam link, VR/index, steam controller, steam deck)
• legitimately spending money to make it possible to game on Linux, reducing gamers reliance on Microsoft/Windows

Less cringe version:

Facts, having been here since the API shit went down, i have seen a LOT more engagement on the platform compared to july 2023

They redesigned again?

Hey just FYI, I've been experiencing a postgres memory leak issue on my instance since the upgrade to 0.19.2. Theres a GitHub issue open about it (#4406), not sure if it's something that will affect you but probably worth keeping in mind

hypocritically edgy comment to put into an article.

Its vice, their whole brand is edgy. Calling Elon an edgelord is very on brand for them.

pretty conspicuously ignoring that men can be victims of this too.

Sure, but women are disproportionately affected by this. You're making the "all lives matter" argument of AI porn

make people take sides on things like this

People should be taking sides on this.

Just seems like you wanna get mad for no reason? I read the article, and it doesn't come across nearly as bad as you would lead anyone to believe. This article is about deepfake pornography as a whole, and how is can (and more importantly HAS) affected women, including minors. Sure it would have been nice to have a comment from Taylor, but i really don't think it was necessary.

Nah I'd say crushed because they started forcibly reopening subs, removing moderators, etc etc

That's the point.

They were making the point that public nudity is illegal even though you can just look away if you don't agree

But advertising in public spaces is legal on the basis that you could just look away if you didn't want to see it

Because this thread is specifically about the escalade not having it.

You guys are still using Reddit?

Also i need talklittle to either port rif or make it open source so we can port it ourselves ;-;

Radioshack fs, bring back the idea of repairing your shit to the public mind

If you get caught.
