Why keep pretending that’s not the case, especially now? What else is required? For Kanye to run death camps?

Why use examples of ones that are no longer fascist. I mean, in Italy we have a post-fascist government after all. There are also some fascist states that have endured quite long like Russia or United States. And that’s for plain fascism. Monopolies and the rich extracting money from societies are as big of an issue because unaddressed they lead to fascism pretty much always.
Thank god nobody from this comment section was involved in antitrust cases against Microsoft.
Thanks, I updated the title but will leave the post up so that people who saw the original have a chance to see it.
I usually see Series S as a sole or secondary system so that your kids can game on a budget. When you’re gaming on subscription service you’re not really invested in the ecosystem and I think Microsoft is banking on a low barrier of entry. Unfortunately for them that also means it’s rather hard to retain those people. They might achieve a spectacular success in 2025 and have nothing to show next year.
Yeah. When they had to fight for their user base. Even Tinder was reasonably usable couple of years ago. It paired me with my current partner which must be considered a marvel of technology.
I got it for backwards compatibility since there’s so little worthwhile stuff being released these days. Game Pass is a good bang for the buck so people will keep buying Series S for their kids, otherwise MS would be toast. With titles as good as upcoming ones timed exclusivity might be enough to get some market share.
Better than expected although it’s mostly Series S behind those numbers. I don’t think Microsoft is about to pull a PS3-level comeback but they might catch a breath thanks to how good this year’s lineup is.
I’m not that old but not that far off either. I live in ruins of that civilisation. I walk the remains of a 15 minute city and I know first hand accounts of people who lived it. I can see that my country somehow solved gender wage gap. Was it perfect? It was awful and authoritarian but that’s what you get when being Russian colony. Doesn’t have to be that way.
That’s kind of a weird benchmark. Wouldn’t you want a more detailed reply? How is quality measured? I thought the biggest technical feats here were ability to run reasonably well in a constrained memory settings and lower cost to train (and less energy used there).
What’s the 1% that did? I want to see where the bar is.
I live in a post-soviet republic, please rethink what you’ve just said XD
I encourage you to stop idolising individualism because it’s not a virtue by itself. There is a significant difference between state and private monopoly that liberals tend to conveniently ignore. I’m a citizen, not a shareholder.
I see plenty. Individualism is the basis of „free” market economy. Free market economy tends to produce monopolies and fascism ;)
On Voyager (third-party mobile app), I have more tools than I do on desktop, which indicates to me that the tools are there in the API but just aren’t exposed on desktop for some god-forsaken reason.
Apollo was also better at moderating Reddit than whatever Reddit could put out so you could say Voyager goes above and beyond at cloning Apollo.
Ultra wealthy got so rich you won’t undo inequality with just income tax. There needs to be a cap on existing wealth and if they opposed income tax, they won’t part with it willingly.
I wasted enough of my time which can be spent more productively. I’m pretty sure you’re not really interested. For some it must get much worse before they get it. Goodbye.
I’m not sure I’m following you either, it appears to me that you don’t see a difference between tax and theft. It was common to outgrow this belief but it appears to be common now. I’ll try to explain.
When Meta takes from everyone it’s a bully that takes from the weak who can’t fight back. Meta does it so that they become the biggest fish in the pond as an end goal.
When a state takes from everyone and rich in particular it’s because we don’t to have this kind of big fish in the pond. We just want to chill.
No, why would they? There’s a difference between strong taking from the weak and community taking surplus from everyone.
Valve runs a couple of online casinos that target children specifically, not sure we should be arguing who’s worse here. I think Steam is a clunky piece of software that’s popular mostly because everyone else missed the moment to start competing and Valve gained monopoly unopposed. Other viable competitors tried and failed at even gaining a foothold and are relegated to small niches because it’s impossible to move people who amassed content libraries over the years. Valve skims 10-30% of an insanely large volume of transactions and should be held to a much higher standard. You’re ignoring all of the warning signs because they didn’t screw you over yet.
