I got the big sad on Judy’s diving quest, she goes on about how tha one corpo inundated the whole place for profits.

Or even the El’Captain quest where you need to go steal a medical truck because the corpos where poisoning his whole neighborhood real bad for years.

I can find more examples of these “small” atrocities, I think they are meant to infuriate you over time, problem by problem, and not display a big single thing you’ll hate forever

right? I’m lvl 170, 60vit and light armor (fashion)

I only die if I get pummeled down, stun locked or get hit consecutively by charged attacks

the dlc is indeed harder, but nothing unfair

I don’t like the idea o LLMs everywhere, but I do use chatgpt quite a lot as a point of entrance to any topic that I might not know the existence of yet

let’s just host all these services for free am I right? who needs to pay energy bills anyway

is this a section of a discord api implementation?

that can’t be true, it’s way too simple, there must be a catch somewhere

you’re missing out hundreds and thousands of awesome fan made content, there’s even entire fan made dlcs

There’s also few but existing examples of people that resist the selling urge, like the VLC dev

I beg to differ: Adnan Khashoggi, a famous arms dealer, considered one the richest mans of the 1980s, active on the Iran-Contra affair. Viktor Bout, famous russian arms dealer active on the FARC. Sir Basil Zaharoff, greek arms dealer active on the Balkan Wars

And these are just a few most notorious ones.

As I said, when a war starts, someone is already winning, it’s a sad but true reality.

Seems I’m getting downvoted. Just to be clear, I condemn war and armed conflicts, If i could make so, no guns would ever be fired.

My point is, it’s pointless to argue about the “should be” or “could be”, I’m just stating the actual, current state of matters.

There’s ALWAYS a winner, in fact, If a war started, someone is already winning, be It one of the involved parties, be It a guns supplier or a manufacturing plant making tanks.

It’s naive to think that, people with power to decide what to do in a war, will prioritize a “good and moral war”, over getting what they want from It.

Maybe you and I can’t see any advantage over an attack and label It stupid, but it is what it is, and maybe the actual intent is not clear to us.

Anyways, war is bad, but don’t be naive.

It’s morally wrong to do so. At the end of the day, like every single other war in the human history sadly , the right side is the winning one, be It bombing power plants, hospitals or houses.

I strongly disagree with this, web dev is great because you can serve hundreds of different devices with the same code, I can’t imagine developing native solutions to each one, yikes

the problem isn’t switching, the problem is making all the other people using It to switch too, not everyone cares about security or ads

yes, because the average user doesn’t even know there are different browsers, and that they can change the default one, which is great to “vendor lock” your own browser, in this case Safari from iOS

I don’t think that’s the right perspective to have on this, a good action isn’t bad just because It wasn’t the best action possible.

And the solution you brought upon, would still leave the first problem afloat, “great, we reduced plastic consumption, but who’s going to remove the plastic that is already in there?”, It’s a paradox you see? If he chooses option A, people will burn him at the stake because he didn’t choose option B.

I was skeptical at first when I first got aware of him, then I did some research and there’s a ton of philanthropy there, lots of people got some help they needed.

EVEN if it’s done with ulterior motives, the non changing fact is that people indeed were helped.

Whichever motives he has behind his persona, he has helped more people than most could or would’ve helped in their entire lifetimes.

So you’re suggesting him to:

Drop out of his job (which you may not know).

Stop earning an amount of money that, may or may not be utterly necessary to keep his lifestyle (which you may not know).

Spend months or years learning a new technology, meanwhile unemployed or with a job that may or may not sustain his previous expenses (expenses which you may not know).

Re-make every single project that he owns to a new platform while adapting every single thing to a new environment, meanwhile solving a waterfall of bugs and refactoring problems, ultimately consuming hundreds of hours (bugs which you may not know).

After living miserably for a while, hunt for companies that somehow are using an open source tool that, most of the time, won’t tick all the boxes a company needs from a tool (companies and boxes which you don’t know).

Miraculously find such company and, miraculously rise to a position high enough that you can make a decision which changes the whole core of the development team, impacts licensing for other tools, new hires, compatibilities, and god knows what more down the line (changes which you may not know).

You’re suggesting that he goes down years of an even more uncertain path… just because you feel like It? To me It sounds like an Evil person’s plan. How can you be so assertive saying something which you may not know about? Jesus

spreading misinformation is not “harmless”, it doesn’t have immediate effect but it surely affects the community in the long run

I have to disagree with the “best software out there”.

You said you are a designer, that you used It all and currently uses Figma right?

Adobe has a Figma competitor, Adobe XD, and It seems you’re not using It, even though It should be better like you said.

that would be extremely time consuming, imagine traveling around the world with every major transport frozen

and imagine the time It would take to actually find everyone who needs a pocket granade

I understand your view, it’s indeed a lesser hassle to just pay the subscription and be done with It.

I can be wrong about It, but judging by how big corpos operate things most of that sub money probably will end up in the company account, not the creators (again, I can be wrong about this).

Wouldn’t you say that using an adblock and supporting creators directly (hot take here since you could want to support 50 people), be a more reasonable and better approach?

Ads are fine, but while the company is being obnoxiously intrusive and predatory towards Its customers, it’s hard to just pay to not be inconvenienced.
