The question was about client trust, which the server doesn’t. If the shot wasn’t possible, it’s not valid and did not happen.

how do you design a server to be “better” if it has to trust data from a remote client?

Because it doesn’t have to.

The linux kernel contains more profanity than this meme…

Ah yes, that’s the difference. Thanks!

But then they’re drinking irradiated water, no?

Unless it’s really easy to remove the radiation safely, this doesn’t seem like the right solution.

Even then, there’s probably a better way to solve the problem, instead of a petty “no U”.

Exactly!

Exactly, permissive licenses such as MIT allow for other people to do a rugpull and change the deal (pray I don’t alter it any further). With open source licenses the community can just fork.

That’s why I always pick AGPL for my projects. Then I can be certain that the code can be freed from greedy hands, and the actual users get all the value of the effort I put in.

VC funding really is making a deal with the devil, because you suddenly have a huge amount of cash, so the startup starts living large (hire more devs, run on expensive cloud infrastructure). But sooner or later they want their money back, plus interest; and few services are profitable, let alone that profitable. So the only thing that startups are usually capable of is to squeeze their users for all they’re worth.

Take a look at all the big startups and see:

• how long it took for them to be profitable
• how much VC funding they got until then

Companies need to pay that back and then some.

And don’t forget that VC’s see this as a perpetual investment, so your revenue must grow year after year, even if you’ve saturated the market.

No, it’s for you, since you talked about the timing. I could have made that more clear though.

I’m not sure what the layout of the video has to do with anything, but yes, you don’t have to watch it.

This video by Middle East Eye is a decent summary of the reasons IMO.

Specifically the fact that Saudi Arabia was in the process of normalizing relations with the occupiers, but no longer is.

Yes, whoops.

Hold on, not all my money goes to healthcare in my for-profit healthcare system??

To reply to your devil’s advocate

The biggest joke is that there are a bunch of games with left-wing messages that are not considered woke ar all:

• Bioshock 2 (Randian Objectivism for the win?)
• Deus Ex (Are corporations bad? Who knows‽)
• Fursan al Aqsa Fighting against colonialism is anti-woke I guess?
• Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad (Need I say more?)

That’s IT!!! 😡

I’m putting Woke Man’s Sky on the woke games list!!

Edit: of course it’s already in there, lmao
