Incredibly cheap I’d say

Iirc valve will even allow devs to generate as many steam keys as they want and sell them outside of steam for no cut whatsoever (and Steam will still provide support for the game on the launcher for those keys). And virtually no devs do it. They prefer to take the 30%. So that tells me that what they charge is more than fair to the devs

I mean this is obvious af

When Netflix had 90% of the shows that you wanted to watch and they weren’t annoying little fucks with account sharing and geo location, everyone was happy to support them

But once paying users feel like they are being taken advantage of, instead of catered to, they leave.

There’s so many cases where pirating is not only cheaper (duh) it’s actually a better product/experience. And when you charge to provide a worse product/experience than what people can get for free, then you can’t be surprised at the outcome

That seems great! I’ll definitely check it out

Any communities here on Lemmy that you’d also recommend?

And thank you once again!

So as a leftist that I think identifies with Marxist-Leninist ideology but that didn’t find the communist manifesto an interesting nor easy read (it was small but not really approachable) are there any books that you recommend? I’m no economist but I do like reading logical arguments as to why capitalism doesn’t work, or better said, doesn’t work for the good of the majority but instead for a small minority (for whom it works very very well)

i.e. you want to give the companies the guns to go hunting for food, except you still want to tell them what they can hunt, but you don’t have any guns yourself. But surely they will obey you and not point out that they have the guns so you should make whatever rules they want

In this case “you” is either the OP of this this thread or just a general you

Exactly

I got invited

Do you If I accept it and install the game if I will be able to invite other people or do I have to play for some time?

Plus most people will already a pretty stacked library day 1 when they get a steam deck. I wouldn’t have to buy another game for years or even a decade if I were to get a steam deck just based on what I still have on my backlog.

And if I buy a game for the steam deck I can still play it on my pc whenever

Yes that’s how it works. You save some money and spend it in other shit.

Also I don’t have a car just so I can go get groceries. I have a car for a multitude of other reasons and I can get groceries. Driving 5 mins to a supermarket has an insignificant cost, and if that supermarket is cheaper then you can save multiples of that.

Regarding the stuff expiring, that’s just your experience. I have the opposite. There’s plenty of non perishable shit that I can get when it’s on sale because I can carry a ton of it if I came by car. Meanwhile if I go shopping by foot and I need laundry detergent I’ll just have to get whatever they have at that time. You can save a ton of money like that.

For easily perishable food yes buying regularly is better but that also means a ton of wasted time going to the supermarket very frequently even if to get only a few items.

Not to mention that the grocery stores that are well located are usually more expensive. The cheaper options exist in less number and so it makes it less convenient or sometimes not possible at all to get to on a normal work day.

You can save a lot of money that way.

And I’m in Europe FYI.

I would like to watch said video please

Great comment

Right back at you

Maybe because have a gigantic money head start is basically a must and not something that the mere mortal can have because of the actual thing that they are criticizing it?

You can be rich, put that money somewhere where someone “manages” it for you, fuck off to a desert island for 5 years and when you come back you are richer than before. And you didn’t do jack shit for that money. Do you think that is fair? And most importantly where do you think that money “is coming from”? The answer is that it is skimming from all the hardworking people that generate profit for the company while only getting paid a small fraction of that.

Significantly though? You can find many groups with an overlap that doesn’t really mean anything.

You haven’t met them in person because they are at home busy… playing factorio.

The question is what are you doing outside?

I wouldn’t say anything. You could provide a sense of belonging, guidance etc but many cults also do that.

Now, many also promise eternal salvation and the like and that is 100% a scam. Literally the same as snake oil.

It can go from great to absolute junk.

But sometimes I need some weird terminal command and it’s weirdly good at it.

Also I get a buddy that can put log messages like “AAAAAAAA” all over the place so at least I don’t go crazy on my own

Sure.

Western countries are under pressure by their own population to fight climate change. For that they need to implemente measures that reduce their impact, which most governments would rather not do as it usually comes with some “negative consequences”. Now, if they can make the problem smaller by having other countries change their way of living instead, it’s a win for them, because problem gets smaller, pressure decreases (or more realistically increases less) and they can focus on making lines go up and getting their votes.

So I don’t think that they will have a big incentive in keeping it private. Of course private companies will, but that’s a different story.

Hopefully that made sense. It’s late here xD

Due to the environmental impacts they would have a strong incentive to not do that.

Not because they care that much about the climate, but if they can make a significant percentage of continents like Africa and Asia reduce their food production emissions they they themselves would need to reduce theirs less
