That doesn’t make any sense. Currency outside a nation isn’t laundering, USD is used as a trade medium around the world even when not trading with US banks or entities. Idk why you’re saying that “billions a day” is taxpayer money or something and it wouldn’t fix around the country, it’d go into the military like usual.
It’s also just the scale of Denmark. The US has billions pulled from the US every day and it’s not a problem but the US isn’t a small country of 6 million people.
That’s basically all corporate entities. They’re not beholden to the workers, the consumers, or the general public and instead answer to people generally trying to milk everything as hard as possible.
I’d argue most of us are older but not too old to remember what the internet was as well.
That’s capitalism for you. They’re not interested in making things better, they’re interested in making more profit.
Really the US needs federal ID that are free and accessible through all post offices. The use of birth certificates and SSNs for the private sector is a failure of the federal government.
Identification for some reason is a cobbled-together mess of systems never designed for identification.
Unless it’s good to break the law.
The law is not good or bad, it’s just the law
Not only does the salary go down in small towns but the number of positions are greatly reduced. All it takes is a layoff and that “cheaper” small town could be too expensive because there are no more positions to fill.
It’s not about the legal liability and more that publically traded corporations only want profit. Reddit would need to cater to advertisers who would not like all the porn, it’s why Tumblr and Imgur removed the porn.
It’s weird that 60 years ago Gary would not be considered a small city. Went to shit real fast.
I think Reddit would have to tackle the mountains of porn too for those optics.
Nah those are the wizards who use light to carve the rocks. To think it needs software, otherwise it’s like a dead person on life support with no brain activity, there’s no thinking happening.
Just say you do it through god and you’re good
The country can be huge but most people live in urban areas now, it’s not like they’ve gotta waste time and money running fiber all over north dakota. We’re talking cities with populations that rival some countries.
So you teach rocks to use lightning to think
Many studios are in a real pinch because the executives are fucking awful and the first people they punish are the people who would also never get raises because Valve took 12% instead of 20%.
The real difference is for games that don’t sell a lot of copies, that don’t reach that 20% at $50 million in sales and 25% at $10 million in sales. We’re talking about really small games at this point. Even games like Factorio should be around this $50 million in sales point with 3.5 million sales although idk how much for each sale with regional pricing.
We’d honestly be pretty hard-pressed to come up with a game small enough to be in the 30% cut tier but also a game where the cut is what makes or breaks the game instead of market saturation. I agree that Steam should lower the cut they take but I do not believe in the crap Sweeny spits about caring for devs while also making the devs who work for him do so much overtime.
He doesn’t mean “devs” he means “profits” that he will never share with devs, he just can’t play with your emotions and make you care as the trickle down economics never come around again.
It’s one thing to regulate foreign corporations and you don’t see me making a case against the EU for regulating Apple or Google. You see me saying this isn’t about data collection like they say, it’s about preserving US power in the software space. The US is completely within it’s rights to block TikTok but you don’t need to lie to me and say it’s for security. The servers are located in the US, there’s no real evidence China has done anything illegal and if Google did the same thing and sold the data to China it would be fine. This whole issue is a bunch of individuals sucking on billionaire tech giant toes.
I appreciate you beating the dead horse, especially with all the sources.
Pretty sure most windows users hate their OS right back.
