Yes. Anything to grow communities. The fediverse is not in the restrictive limiting of communities time in its evolution. The fediverse is in the we need more numbers phase. You need a lot more people to be worried about this kind of thing. Right now you just need more people making more post and making more comments.

Like two dollars a pound in my area.

Yeah! Look at him posting articles from know tankie rag Bloomberg!

Oh so she’s crazy for multiple reasons.

Oh… well then why were you saying you were playing the Call of Duty campaign?

You should probably stop giving money to them then. Stop buying Call of Duty games. You’re just funding anti-consumer practices.

Hell, does the average Call of Duty player even play the campaign anymore? I thought it was all multiplayer these days.

I tell you, every piece of news I hear about Denmark for the last couple years has been really shitty. Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

Pulled into the streets and executed then?

Oh I have one. Since stupid people exist why have laws at all. Why not allow people to marry dogs. Am I playing the game right?

God so many people dont understand what a monopoly actually is. Listen carefully: despite the name MONOPOLY DOESN’T MEAN ONE!

You boot licking capitalist just can’t get past this. God i wish the ghost of Teddy Roosevelt could arise to beat some sense into all of you.

Why would you need a “not AI” label? Your argument is approaching absurdity. If something is produced by AI it should come labeled. 100% no exceptions. It’s not difficult.

Why is that a problem? AI having to come with labels sounds great. It’s both an obvious good and an obviously correct step to take. In a world with leaders who we’re worth anything it would have happened immediately. The second deep fakes became possible an intelligent society would have immediately said all AI production has to be labeled.

Not and keep their listing in Steam they can’t.

Yeah, wouldn’t want to make it seem like Trump encouraged the January 6th riot. That would be so irresponsible and inaccurate. Who could imagine that Trump was 100% behind and encouraging of the January 6th riot? He never used coded language pushing for it heavily.

All right the fact that you just said you have no choice but to sell on Steam has pretty much invalidated all the other parts of your argument. That alone is enough.

Also you might want to check a little bit about steams practices when it comes to pricing. They have a lot more influence on pricing than you seem to imagine.

Yes, when an entity creates an unreasonable restraint of competition in the market. As Steam has an overwhelming control of the market that absolutely qualifies. Also I’m going to go ahead and quote the rest since you left it out for some reason. Probably because it was devastating to your argument.

A monopoly is when a single company or entity creates an unreasonable restraint of competition in a market. The term “monopoly” is often used to describe instances where there is a single seller of a good in a market. In a legal context, the term monopoly is also used to describe a variety of market conditions that are not monopolies in the truest sense. For instance, the term monopoly may be referring to instances where:

• There are only two sellers of a given good (duopoly)
• There are very few sellers of a given good (oligopoly)
• There is a single buyer of a given good (monopsony)
• There are only two buyers of a given good (duopsony)
• There are very few buyers of a given good (oligopsony)
• There are many buyers or sellers, but one actor has enough market share to dictate prices (near monopolies)

In essence, the term monopoly may be used any time that a market for a good is controlled by a limited number of actors.

Wow stunning argument. I was going to sit here and trust my eyes. But the depths of rhetorical Flair you have just expressed have rendered me powerless to argue.

It’s amazing how many people don’t actually understand what a monopoly is. Every time the topic comes up you see people say things like “well there’s more than one store therefore it’s not a monopoly.” That’s never been the actual use of the word in practice. If that were true it would be so stupidly easy to circumvent monopoly laws and regulations. I mean more than it already is of course.
