no it’s from bell labs

it’s an asynchronous medium. the answer could come tomorrow, or next week. not answering within an hour is not “conceding”.

okay, so all a storefront has to do is build a better system and take, say, 20%. that would pull in both sellers and buyers. why isn’t the other storefronts building competitors? epic has infinite money but all they seem to use it on is bribes. gog offers standalone installers and online community systems, but not both at the same time. itch is held together by duct tape and dreams.

if that was all they got the money for, and the devs were indeed hurt to a significant degree by it, a competitor with a lower fee (say, epic, with their 8%) would have outgrown them years ago, since steam doesn’t do exclusivity deals.

it ocr’s the image and checks if it contains a long number and the word “anonymous”.

yes really

no i’m reading everything you’re saying but it seems to me like it’s one of those “it doesn’t work in the us because x” arguments. yes you’ve been oppressed, yes the laws have been written against you, yes the odds are bad. do it anyway.

nobody is keeping people from organising. sanctioned organising, yes. but that right was only granted due to unsanctioned organising in the first place.

number of unions != number of members

and there’s no generic one? crazy

from what i hear there are unions everywhere in the us. why are they not doing anything?

medical fields usually have some sort of clause that prevents complete strike, like the postal service. you can still strike but in that case it’s without union authorisation.

here the metalworker’s union is paying striking workers at tesla 125% of their regular salary and have the funds to continue doing that for about 200 years.

but i mean… the entire reason unions work is because of a mandate from the masses. if they close an office the only reasonable counter-action is for every other office to unionise too.

i mean national unions exist to strengthen the local chapters.

why not?

then join a union! they can supplement your pay when on strike.

really? i thought one of the main benefits of gamescope was that it can be nested inside an existing DE?

…do you not know how strikes work?

bazzite is probably the better choice.

you can most likely get all of the same benefits from your existing install, though. just need the right configuration.

sure but there was no way that wouldn’t have been thrown out.

…what kind of brain damage did the rep have to think that was a viable defense? surely their human customer service personnel are also responsible for their own actions?
