No, boycotts are not a corporate death knell. No one is saying that. LITERALLY no one is saying their personal decision or reasoning is the cause of this news.

EVERYONE ks pkinting at shitty things Ubisoft does, says, it caused them to not bjy it and likely is impacting others’ decisions… then you come along going, “NUHUH NUHUH, Ubisoft isn’t losing money because YOU didn’t buy it!”

My dude… we FUCKING KNOW THAT!! We’re saying UBISOFT shot themselves in the foot with shitty behavior. This article is literally about the effects of people not buying en masse, and you’re saying that the NEWS WE ARE READING is not possible…

Just stop. Just stop. Boycotts most often do not work, but THIS IS NOT A BOYCOTT!! This is people explaining why they stopped giving Ubisoft money. Holy fuck, you are good at doubling down on a bad idea.

The irony of you constantly telling people they don’t actually know why they do not pay Ubisoft…

My dude… We’re TELLING YOU why we aren’t buying it. You’re just too dumb and stubborn to accept the truth. Obstinance makes you pathetic, not correct.

Musk shittiness is a high bar.

People with 6+ figure salaries who think they get to rule the world they’ve done less than nothing to help create.

Google is literally anti-privacy so… “better than google” is … still not necessarily good.

Dunno’. I hope so, but Asmond has proven to be a bit … uh… dense. Hopefully he at least learns not to use such negative language when he supposedly doesn’t mean the entire meaning.

People are basically good, but criminally ignorant on average.

Just look at Asmond Gold’s recent ban. I doubt the dude would ever even think about shooting a Palestinian himself, but boy will he happily dehumanize an entire culture as easy as taking a sip of water!

Linux isn’t that bad these days unless you want to use something silly and not supported by the manufacturers, like nVidia’s Optimus or other crap. Even then, the linux folks have it figured out. You can get step by step instructions for about any issue, even the complicated weird shit like Optimus.

Almost like both parties are morally corrupt and owned by external interests…

(note: making a basic observation that is negative of both parties DOES NOT and NEVER means both parties are equally bad)

We’ve got A LOT of cleanup to do, and that’s after we get fascists out of office.

So… things not actually restricted to internal combustion engines? That sounds… rather petty and foolish.

What about it, for curiosity’s sake? Is it the fumes? The crazyness of literally going so fast as to barely retain control in tons of metal? Or for things like motorbikes, doing all that without tons of metal for a modicum of protection? lol

I love motorsports, but no matter the power source, the extreme stuff kinda’ takes having a screw or two loose…

It wouldn’t be part of the systemic fixes, no, but it would be part of the emotional healing that we all need.

Neither are executive pay packages. In fact, they harm A LOT more people than one rich prick… So defend them if you want, but know that in doing so, you defend the very problem.

IMO, “One app/library/etc does one thing only” is a rather ignorant form of wisdom about encapsulation, anyways.

Encapsulation is important regardless of how many disparate tasks a library handles. Doing one thing with one thing is a pretty good rule of thumb to get close to good results, but it is FAR from a golden standard, and serves to drag people away from the finer nuances of encapsulation.

The ONLY time it is a hard and fast rule is at the individual function level. A single function ideally should have one task to accomplish, even if that task has side effects.

I’m sure there are cross-dependency issues on an OS level that makes it a bit wiser to do for widely used system tasks, but to make it an absolute rule smacks of wisdom gone awry. Like not eating shellfish in the bible.

Nah, suits don’t deserve the dignity of a painless existence. They made their choice to be a soulless husk, and that’s how they should be treated.

Yes. Stop using Google services.

Why is that the answer? Because Google WANTS you to use it, and it is not illegal to force you once you’re searching with them.

rofl! The difference vetween a progressive and liberal is NOT just when they decide to intervene in corporations…

American liberals want to means test EVERYTHING that could concievably go to a poor person. A progressive realizes the red tape is fucking stupid and expensive in its own right. Remember the COVID funds? Sucked up by megacorporations more than small businesses like it was supposed to be for? Notice how American liberals didn’t go after those corporations or really care that the money instantly dried up for smaller fries?

Yea, American liberals are ABSOLUTELY closer to American conservatives in practicality. It doesn’t matter how many polite words they use if the end result is FUNCTIONALLY THE SAME. No, conservatives wouldn’t have given any money to poor people, but as already said, liberals didn’t care that corporations with lawyers that could push all the red tape got the money, not small businessesthat actually neededrhe help.

They BOTH serve to drain the government of public funds. You’ve just fallen for the pleasantries they put on the same negative slant of actions. No, liberals are not fascists themselves, but they’re always, always dumb enough to make things suck enough that fascists sound nice to fools.
