Because some of those people are billionaire oligarchs.

All of the tech giants discovered that there is much more money to be made making tech for dystopian authoritarian governments than gamers. It was inevitable I guess.

Most polluting so far.

The fact that they have already walled off content from the game unless you buy a deluxe edition should really tell everybody what this is going to be like.

Citation needed.

Yeah, it was so obvious when Anthropic announced "Oh yeah, our AI did crimes as well!" right after OpenAI had announced their crimes.

And the line went up, because of course that must mean they are close AGI in the minds of the investors. Bunch of scammers all of them.

More so now when insects and other small animals are seeing a mass extinction event. We desperately need more of them, not less.

If they are sitting soaking up sunshine to heat up their bodies they will definitely do that on their own.

Here if you have moths in your home it is mostly just because they were attracted to the lights and flew inside through an open window.

Why on Earth would that not mean the customer deserves a refund? The entire cost of the tariffs has been placed on the customer. No business sold their imported goods at the same price after having paid the tariff fees, they all raised their prices.

The system would be not having a lunatic who implements tariffs at a whim and based purely on insider speculation and temper tantrums.

It would at least be a start.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, the comment conveniently seems to forget that most people paid tariff costs not by directly importing something, but by simply buying the thing at a tariff inflated price in a store.

There's no refund for those, and that is where the largest part of tariff costs has been paid.
