We need more peer to peer hosting

Your phone number is tied to your identity, there are no reasons to ask it to begin with.

Signal is centralized and require a phone number to register, it’s not private at all.

Sort of agree but look how much he’s done for Linux gaming.

Let’s not forget that Steam is a proprietary third party launcher that doesn’t share any values with linux. Valve built the apple store of videogames, while they are now moving in a better direction keep in mind that they are part of the problem.

We are on lemmy, a decentralized and open source platform. Steam is closed as much as reddit is.

Promoting gambling to kids and use the profits to buy multiple mega yachts is peak scum.

Yes, their profits.

Minecraft is yet another example of no expections. Minecraft is proprietary and they never lowered the price even after making millions, they actually increased it. It was sold to one of the worst company in the world for even more money.

After making millions a normal person would have make the game publicly available or at last free and they wouldhave never sell it to microsoft.

They do what every for profit company in the world does, they try to make as much money as possible and they spend money in advertising.

Honestly, the secret is not being a publicly traded company.

Valve fortune doesn’t come from not being traded publicly. They built a nearly monopoly on pc videogames with their walled garden proprietary third party launcher.

His company is working damn hard to make sure you believe they don’t do nothing. All billionares are scum.

It could be simply because they can do it, peasant

It’s not much work and it’s a good investment it’s also not as bad as you may think because there’s plenty of enjoyment in learning and understanding stuff

I’m simply suggesting new comers to learn how this place works. If people get scared over how a software works it’s even more evidence that we need to help them understand.

Whatever nefarious stuff they’re doing isn’t more valuable than 20 minutes of my real world time.

I’m not sure if you are trolling. 20 minutes is a random number we pick up it probably take even less and 20 minutes is not really much time, we waste more time doing more useless things

Nobody is forcing you but you should really consider investing 20 minutes in learning how lemmy is different. You may think it’s not that serious but look at where popular centralized platforms are heading to, now that bad actors are taking full control the problem cannot be ignored

For anyone new: consider investing 10 minutes to learn how lemmy works and why decentralized and open source is better than proprietary and centralized platforms like reddit.

There are lots of people in that sort of income bracket that have good opinions that are worth listening to

They may have something nice to say but their actions speak louder. You don’t accidentally end up in one of these events, there are a thousand bad and selfish choices you made before that lead you on that stage.

If after earning millions you are still part of the industry you are scum in for profit simple as that.

Fuck majors, fuck every artist signed under them and fuck you for upvoting this
