I mean… we all agree it’s ghosts, right?

The book appears to have two spines…

When it came to GTA V, I wanted it. Oh, did I want it. Didn’t buy it for several years, then a friend gave me an Xbox 360 copy because he didn’t like it, then another several years later, having never finished the game, I ended up getting a PC copy for less than $10.

$10 feels like too much to give to Rockstar at this point.

Books aren’t games, either, but you brought them up. Why are different forms of media valid when they support your argument but not when they don’t?

They missed the part where Apple Computers abused the legal system and the good nature of the Beatles to steal their trademark and enter into the music industry illegally.

For anyone curious, I looked into the DDOSing, and what was done is a simple string of JavaScript was added to archive[.]today that made a background request to the blog with a randomly generated search parameter. Every time someone looked at an archive, they unknowingly sent a request to the blog under attack.

Oh, hey, it can earn enough money to pay for itself an-

How does utilizing and profiting from a service known to promote and profit extremist ideology aid that service in the promotion thereof? By taking a portion of the profits, you direct traffic and money to the service, which is then directed to extremists. Seems pretty clearcut to me.

But has Ghost ever sent out swastikas in push notifications?

The ancient one awakens

not gonna be a happy end for piefed

You do realize you’re responding to a post on a lemmy instance, right? In fact, you’re kinda talking like you think piefed is a singular centralized social network.

Lol, no. That was not objective. And on top of that, I was not taking the position you’re generalizing here.

In short, what happened was, Bronzebeard made a cynical and destructive statement about the existence and development of Proton. I called them out by referencing what they said. Then, you came along, picked out some reasons to be angry with Valve, attributed them to me as though I said them, and acted as though pointing them out made you superior. We are not the same.

It is at this point, will be disengaging, as my conversation with you started with you putting words in my mouth, and I have less than no interest in speaking to you further.

They demonized all actions of Valve, for the sake of defending Epic, even to the point of painting something that aids Linux adoption across the board as if it were a secretive, locked-down part of Steam’s environment. I pointed out the failure in that. Yeah, totally the same. 🙄

>Open source, publicly available tool to aid in Linux adoption

>“some[thing] to expand their control over the games industry”

Found the Sweeney fanboy. Just because Timmy-boy can’t install kernel-level malware on Linux doesn’t mean Gabe Newell is going to use it to conquer the Earth, bud.

I want Hasbro to file a lawsuit, it would be so fucking funny.

We can only hope these companies are treated as collaborators in the future.

Fandom (previously Wikia) is an extremely shitty service with low-quality wikis mostly consisting of content copied from independent wikis and a terrible layout that only exists to amplify their overwhelming advertising.

Exactly. These people will claim that their religion is the only thing that can keep people moral (sign of sociopathy), but will then turn around and say anything they do is fine because they “believe” and just have to “ask for forgiveness.” It’s just narcissism and empathetic bankruptcy normalized.
