“in the united states, they considered being against the state a mental illness” is the claim, not that the united states does bad things.

Citation, please on the claim. I don’t need a list of everything the us government has done wrong, I want proof of the one thing that was claimed

In this case a better proxy might be McCarthyism but afaik that was applying political pressure directly to fuck people over, mask off – not putting people in mental hospitals.

Citation?

So it’s like lemmy.ml

Theyd have to walk back their tantrum about veterans saying illegal orders are illegal

So they’re like maga

What are you even talking about? There is no world in which a normal human would read my message and think “this is clearly the only reason a human would buy from steam”. There never was. There is also no world in which I am required to provide a serious response. You seem to just be mad I made fun of valve and are looking to start a fight, but you say it’s not because you’re a billionaire shill who wants to help get him a second yacht. So I just don’t really get what’s going on in your brain right now except some sort of bizarre mad at the world thing.

I’ve now rea through some of your recent comment history and understand you just take everything way too seriously. I do not. You may as well give up talking to me.

If anyone genuinely thinks my message is the only reason you’d buy from steam.and hardcore refused to read any other comments besides mine… I really dgaf about them. It’s like fox news always says, this is clearly for entertainment purposes only and only a fucking idiot would believe it.

That seems worthy of being a top level response to the question

I offered one potential motivation which is giving billionaires a yacht

Other people have already listed their own motivation, I’m not required to represent every single possible motivation

If you want to own the thing you purchase: gog

If you want to fund a billionaire super yacht and be subject to the whims of a large corporation run by a billionaire: steam

To me there’s no contest but a lot of people on lemmy are corporate shills.

I don’t think he wants to rape reporters. You’re thinking of children. As is trump. (But in different ways)

Time for your nap

Not worth the fight… people here will call even usage based telemetry (how many times did this feature get used) spyware.

So they switched because they have control and access over both OSs?

So it’s just the fear of vengeance that stops you from robbing, raping, and murdering?

Punishment as a deterrent? Lol what human race are you thinking of.

I will enjoy the folks coming out of the woodwork to say “I only liked Elon before he went crazy” “I only liked Spotify before they started exploiting artists”.

You literally have to clockwork orange some people to get them to see what is happening around them.

In what way is the education system easier for girls to navigate? That doesn’t make sense to me at all.

I can’t tell if you’re sarcastic or a time traveler from 1870.
