I’d expend your tldr just a bit to include.
- users are stupid
- software is designed to work for both Tom Tecnowizard and Paul Pebkac
- finally, ads ruin everything they touch

In my opinion, where this “movement” failed was in the messaging.
“Stop Killing Games” is a great slogan written by a young person without much experience.
No company or government will pass a law that says, “you must indefinitely support every game you ever release”. Now, I understand that this isn’t what the group was calling for, but this is the message that comes across. Because of that, it immediately loses support from anyone in any type of software industry and likely many other industries as we know it isn’t realistic.
RIP Google Play Music. The best music service to ever exist.
Exactly my thought. LinkedIn didn’t scrape their own data.
Unfortunately, it was originally seeded with people from the meta mod community in Reddit and so they brought all that with them.
Some discussions are awesome, but anything remotely controversial is a pure echo chamber and you’ll get shouted down if you dissent.
Wow, you really got everyone in the comments. Well played.
Here’s your free “whoooooosh” award as your joke went flying over everyone’s head.
I laughed, but caddy shack always makes me laugh.
Why do these articles never have a screenshot of the change. So annoying.
Gen Z is app savvy, not tech savvy. Very very different.
This is fucking ridiculous. I’m actually speechless.
I’m not even the least bit surprised.
You forgot to mention you use Arch, btw.
Video games. Streamers, YouTubers, and other ”content creators” have had a massive negative effect on the hobby as a whole.
The bandwagons driven by these people can destroyed games that should have had a mediocre reception, but instead were panned by a couple creators then that criticism was parroted loud and wide. Where a game could have had a nice little niche audience, instead it was shut down a year after launch due to the shitty bandwagons.
These people also drive companies to make horrible balancing and content decisions. Since these people play games as their jobs, and play them daily for 8-10-12+ hours, they have wildly different desires and perspectives on games. These perspectives again get parroted loudly, the game companies hear it, and make changes/decisions based on people that play all day every day. This destroys gaming for not only casual gamers, but all gamers that don’t play one game for 8+ hours a day every day.
I could go on and on, but these trash reality TV stars for nerds have done so much damage to the industry.
Israel is evil. News at 11

Thank you!
Water freezes from the bottom up instead of top down.
Piracy is not stealing. Piracy affects artists.
These two statements can and do coexist.
Sponsorblock, ublock origin(don’t use chrome), and Unhook are nice browser extensions to help remove much of the bullshit.
He wasn’t arrested for creating it, but for distribution.
If dude just made it and kept it privately, he’d be fine.
I’m not defending child porn with this comment.
While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.
It does happen.
