  • I agree that Valve shouldn’t get a free pass but at the same time, an enemy of my enemy is my friend. So long as they are developing GNU+Linux and enabling people to move away from Microsoft, they have my support.

    That said, I fully understand that Valve is doing this out of self interest, their interests may change to be counter to mine.


  • I think it is unfortunately all cops. I’m not even ACAB.

    A police officer may be a good person, and a police officer may be a good police officer, and no matter the case, a police officer may do good things, if we are lucky. The role grants privileges, explicitly or otherwise, which can easily be abused. Cops are an instrument of the government, primarily concerned with law enforcement and working closely with prosecutors to find citizens guilty. They are not required to enforce laws, or provide public safety, so this allows for selective application of these responsibilities.

    They are not inherently good or bad, more a necessary evil, and they should never be trusted. Interact with them as little as possible, watch them closely when you see them interacting with the public. In some cases they’re good people doing good work, great. Not all the time, sometimes it depends on the person, the circumstances, or both.











  • Eh, Capitalism will do what it can to turn a profit, which includes things that are good for society. People are fucking dumb and they do not read ToS or EULA, they just sign up for “free” shit and get advertised to while companies track them, spy on them, etc.

    Even when you tell people about their data, they don’t care. I literally have a shirt which reads “they sell your data” by the way, I take it more seriously, and I feel like a fucking nut. I mean, I feel like the only sane person but you know, if every room smells like dog shit check your shoes.
