I have a near complete control of a market segment.
I want to monetize that control further.
I release slot machine mini games into my most popular games.
I have contributed to the gambling epidemic that plagues modern society.
I am not a trust worthy entity.
I am Steam
Does that make sense?
Loot boxes are not a monopoly.
Its a bad thing they did to abuse their monopoly stance


And didn’t you learn a valuable lesson about scrolling socials when you should have focused on those KPIs?
Maybe the difference is effort versus objective reality.
You and OP are concerned with whether or not they became a monopoly maliciously when I think the previous commenter is concerned with whether or not they simply are a monopoly.
In my view they are a monopoly and they have abused that. I’m thinking of their loot boxes and silent support of skin gambling.
We should be mistrustful of institutions with this much power, regardless of if they’re actively abusing it.

I think it’s “eye spot”
What’s even crazier is he freely admits to this.
He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.
He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.
Mildly related.
I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.
I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said
“I don’t feel bad for white people.”
And honestly
But also
This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still
I run stock Pop OS and I’ve only recently wanted to give a shit about macros.
You should only care if you’re running a specific software. By and large its AS SEEMLESS as using Windows.
Note that its not really BETTER its mostly just DIFFERENT.


I think you missed the guy this is targeted at.
Worry not though. I get it. There isn’t a lot of nuance in the AI discussion anymore and the anti-AI people are quite rude these days about anything AI at all.
You did good work homie!


This + Local Wikipedia + My own writings would be sick
He did think she smelled bad. That was hilarious
Yeah!
So i am running these three computers in a set up that let’s me manage virtual machines on them from a website with Proxmox.
I want to play with a tool that let’s me run Docker Containers. Containers being a way to host services like websites and web apps without having to make a Virtual machine for each app.
This has a lot of advantages but I’m trying to use the High Availability feature when you run these on a cluster of computers.
My problem is that I know I can use the Built In container software in the already clustered Proxmox computers called LXC Linux Containers. However, I want to use a container software called Kubernetes but I would have to build Virtual machines on my servers and then cluster those virtual machines.
Its a little confusing because I have three physical computers clustered together and I’m trying to then build three virtual computers on them and cluster those. Its an odd thing to do and that’s the problem.


I download the YouTube tutorials I followed, upload them to my UAT Jellyfin server, and then when my server is having issues I can’t get to the videos!
A flawless system really
Bowling For Soup either made it or covered it. Hard to tell with punk tbh
