I read that elsewhere. Maybe it’s fake news, maybe it’s not all cases. Idk

Cause they’re key retailers without a platform. Steam already got paid for those keys.

GMG also publishes games. They’re like the only games with the same price on both sites.

Most importantly, GOG games don’t include Steam keys, which is what’s the issue here.

Steam lets publishers include Steam keys if they don’t sell them for cheaper than on Steam.

That and it makes sense why AI uses so many emojis

Except Reddit loathes emojis.

Put urinals in the back of unisex bathrooms. Easy. Not a new idea either.

Climate change hasn’t changed uv strength. Humans have impact on it but it’s gone down again since the hole in the ozone layer is mostly gone now.

40% of gamers: cause I didn’t build it those years ago

Your body does a whole bunch of things in reaction to danger that don’t register as pain. Sweating, contracting pupils, releasing insuline…

You could get philosophical and say that these are pains of your body’s subsystems. And if microbes can feel pain then your body functions on the misery of billions of beings trapped inside of you. Not really something you can build a morality on.

I don’t think tending to damage is enough to prove pain.

Microbes detect and move away from danger. Plants detect danger and react to defend themselves. They also redirect resources to heal. Pain isn’t necessary for this.

Pain is for learning, so you avoid what caused the pain. Beings that don’t learn shouldn’t feel pain, it would just be a waste of energy. That’d only happen in evolutionary quirks (ie loss of capacity to learn after gaining pain). Nature is cruel (grasshoppers get their heads eaten during mating) but not just for the sake of it.

And of course, there’s humans that have a condition that makes them not feel pain. They still learn self preservation, and they have some reflexes too.

The article makes the comparison with a hurt dog. Dogs remember for life what hurt them. It’s very obvious they learn from pain.

The article isn’t about the technology. This “experiment” is pure techbro fantasy.

I use OldLander and old Reddit Redirect browser extensions

Which blacklist please?

What about it?

True but you can do that for consoles too (PS5 not yet), and this issue isn’t what makes them not a full PC.

The fact that steam games are cross platform is because you buy a license. Very rarely a cd-rom would have Mac and Windows in one, but in that regard desktops were mostly like consoles not so long ago.

How would you do this without verification? How do you still allow gift tickets or buying for a friend?

Yeah ok but you’re not scrolling your wall for hours a day, right?

On the other hand, most democracies come from military coups. All the recent coups leading to authoritarianism come from the CIA or Kremlin or Islamism. After the cold war more coups led to democracy afain. If the US has an internal coup now it’ll be more likely one of those, I’d think.
