Free markets hurt capitalists.

Fucking communists and their free markets and open competition! None of that for us, please.

(Poe’s law: This is meant to be taken as absurdist humor.)

Yes, it’s the people who put in decades of hard work, not the cocaine snorting golden parachute executives, costing US auto makers their chance to compete. That might be it.

Edit: If only there were some way for citizens united to do something to help those poor executives.

We’re still quoting this fucker after his Epstein emails?

“You’re absolutely right. I did hallucinate sending an ambulance, more than once, earlier. Let me correct that and dispatch an ambulance to your location.”

Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

Omitting the word “minors” from the title makes a world of difference.

Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

About fucking time.

Citizen’s United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world’s billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren’t doing it, today.

Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn’t hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.

Understanding of asshole bosses, more like.

Washington is mentioned, but not with enough context to determine that Washington uses the cameras.

Which is weird, and other comments mention the whole article may be AI slop, rehashed from somewhere else. :(

Let’s be sure to name and shame, for anyone who missed it: Georgia and Florida.

Company is - you guessed it - Flock. (Mention of Flock in the article has been removed with a correction.)

Apparently he makes bank.

Epic!

Thanks!

I was going to push back on your point here, but then I couldn’t think of a game that makes a good counterpoint.

Before they enshitified all the sports games, I would have pushed back a bit and comparer running Windows for a specific game to emulating an Atari for nostalgia.

But actually, the last good version of many of those sports games probably runs in Wine now anyway.

One pushback - there’s still community on some of those very shitty games. I understand people not wanting to leave their gamer group behind.

Of course, my gamer group all moved to SteamDeck.

Ouch!

The good news is you’ll get invited to Cobol/AS400/Mainframe conventions if eventually you’re the only ones left on Windows.

Those folks have similar challenges, but are great to party with after a day of conference talks.

I can’t see these gaining more popularity over Steam, PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo if they are only sticking to do retro.

Right. I don’t think they are particularly trying for those markets - although Sony dropping physical media of any kind is probably doing Evercade a favor anyway.

I carry my Hyper Mega Tech Pocket more often than my SteamDeck or Switch Lite, because it is so much smaller.

From my understanding, most indie companies want maximum reach for their games, especially for the amount of time and money they put into things.

Yes. Evercade’s gimick is multiple games per cart, rather than exclusives.

Some of my Indie game collection I got cheaper by buying it on Evercade. Some idie devs I have only discovered because they included a game on Evercade.

A few I have bought again on my SteamDeck, to add it to my family library.

Nothing explains Arch users, they’re a mystery.
