the devil

IT’S NOT THE DEVIL IT’S GABE NEWELL

STEAM SKIMS 15% OFF OF EVERY MARKET TRANSACTION

30% OFF OF EVERY GAME PURCHASE

THOSE TRANSACTIONS ARE DENOMINATED IN FUN BUCKS THAT YOU ALREADY PAID TAXES ON

EVERY TIME AN ITEM CHANGES HANDS, THE FUN BUCKS DIMINISH AND VALVE KEEPS A FRACTION

YOU CAN’T TAKE OUT THE FUN BUCKS FROM THEIR CIRCUIT LEGALLY, BECAUSE IT’S LITERALLY A FUCKING CASINO

EVERY VALVE GAME IS A STORE FRONT FOR LITERAL FUCKING NFTS AND LOOTBOXES THAT CONTAIN NFTS

AND YOU GUYS KEEP SUCKING THE COCK OF A GUY WHO DOESN’T JUST OWN A YACHT BUT A YACHT COMPANY THAT HE OWNS BECAUSE OF THE ABOVE

It’s literally DIGITAL COIN CLIPPING

Reddit and fediverse users fellate a guy who owns a yacht company for checking a box in a linux distro, news at 11

So let me get this straight. Not only it’s closed source and SaaS but you guys are paying for your data to be stored on US based servers that are vulnerable to the patriot act? You’re paying for that privilege?

Because it’s a carbon copy of reddit and it replicates all of its problems in miniature. Also because everyone in here is extremely exclusionary and hateful of anyone who isn’t wholesome 100. Also because it’s decentralized but not peer to peer, which means that it’s basically feudalism.

Bruh it’s 10 dollars PER YEAR.

I’ve owned a .com domain for over a decade, ever since BEFORE I actually had a job and was living on allowances, and it still doesn’t register as an expense to me.

The content I host on that domain has been used by 3 different people tops, which is me and a couple of my friends. It’s still worth it.

If I were to build a public-facing service I’d certainly fork over the bare minimum to guarantee that it fucking stays up even if I don’t expect thousands of users. It’s just a matter of doing things properly. Free domains have always been sketchy as fuck, every scam ever was hosted on a .tk domain at some point.

But as it has been stated multiple times already, the only reason they actually went with “.ml” is because they thought it would be funny for the marxist-leninist association. That’s literally it. It’s not about money. Anyone with access to a dev machine has 10 dollars a year to spend or they wouldn’t be shitposting on the internet.
