You say it like I had a choice to get a pension.

Oh, so my 401k losing money isn’t real? Damn, that’s a relief.

The force streamers and people who cover Nintendo to pay them, because word of mouth isn’t enough. They need money.

They have and continue to directly or aid in the effort to patten basic game mechanics.

They refuse to participate in cross play functionality often.

They kill fan projects because fuck you for liking our games and bringing more attention to them I guess.

They lock games away forever, not rereleasing and killing mods aggressively. Actively killing gaming history.

A company doesn’t have to be my friend. But when they are actively attacking people who express love for their product you eventually stop loving the product.

Don’t forget, you see way less Nintendo gaming videos and streamers. Because they are greedy and want a cut of what is made. They’re not happy with the good word of mouth, they NEED to get paid.

Also look at this shit with PalWorld. Working to retroactively patten very basic game mechanics because a franchise that refused to evolve got beat by the new kids.

Oh I get it. We made the jump from Google Cloud to AWS, and I’m sure there are companies that are even more vendor locked. But a good example of what people can do when they don’t have a choice is the new PCI 4.0 roll out that has cost companies millions they wouldn’t spend unless made to do so. Will it be a mountain to climb and cost a ton, yeah, but change in the right direction isn’t always easy.

I’m with you, it will be hard, and they need a good system for extensions and the like, with a reasonable time line. But this is good change IMO, even if it’s painful.

This is why you give notice; this isn’t an overnight thing. If anything, this would help strengthen and decentralize hosting platforms while giving a huge amount of business to companies to help them migrate. I think the real shake is going to be those locked into provide IP like Redshift or Fargate.

There are plenty of providers, this is a little reactionary. I’ve worked with a local data center for hosting in every state I’ve lived in.

So you’re asking me to feel bad, for the richest person on Earth. After he just harmed a ton of people and damaged our country… All because he has slightly less money, the difference of which no average person could ever dream of?

No, I don’t think I will.

No, you just don’t understand tariffs. I think about other countries a lot, like how they have to pay us, like so much money. We’re all going to be rich.

Unions are rare here and trying to organize anything just gets you fired and jobless. Plus people are struggling just to eat, they can’t all strike. It’s really not that simple.

I live in Utah, it’s about 90% people cheering at Trump and 10% very polite demonstrations against the right that are highly criticized. Feels so muted here.

Well read the post again. One girl was furious that raunchy texts were shared. Looks like we’ve solved the mystery lol.

But I’m not out here making a legal argument. I’m saying sharing that stuff without consent isn’t OK, morally. You don’t have to be god to look at something like that and have the guts to say something.

Sorry, compromising photos and messages if we want to be pedantic. If you’re nit picking the nuance ls of the type of private content shared without someone’s consent you’ve already lost.

Yeah, I’m one of those people. I have this apparently strange sensitivity to people sharing intimate photos of others without their consent or knowledge. Feels very exploitative. I’m just one of those people who doesn’t like to sit back and let people hurt others like that for the lols of a group chat.

You gotta give.

If I see concerning behavior, I feel the need to say something because it’s concerning. More girls will be embarrassed, more people could be exploited, it’s not ok. I feel like seeing that, knowing you can do something, and choosing not to is pretty close to condoning it. It’s not about friend group politics; there are people outside the friend group who are being passed around in that without their knowledge or consent, and that’s not ok. I wouldn’t care if it was just guys with dark memes.

Overly defensive? The comment they were responding to was offensive and made sweeping assumptions. But no problem there? Seems like a case of attack what you don’t agree with and give what you agree with a pass. Comes across as a bad faith move.

I mean facts were given and then someone wrote up a counter point just ignoring the facts and saying what they felt was right. Ironically seems like a boomer move and they were accurate in calling that out.

If, in my home me and my friends are sharing sensitive info about past relationships and other actions that can embarrass or hurt people, then exposing that is for the best. I mean where is the limit, if you’re invited to a chat where they’re massively racist and sexist, do you think that deserves to be exposed or do you just keep everyone’s dirty secrets no matter what?

You’re asking people to show kindness to their abusers. The people who voted for this have caused massive suffering. People have tried being the more mature ones, look where it got us. Those people are not interested in joining forces. The openly call us the enemy. Asking people to give them sympathy at this point is insulting.
