We? There is no monolith here, this is individual arrogance from people who believe AI is driving us to the end of history

No. Tons of lawyers never even touch criminal law. You do not need to be a defense attorney to be a lawyer.

The Kingdom Come: Deliverance games from Warhorse Studios and the Witcher franchise from CD Projekt Red (both Polish) are excellent and have won a ton of awards

Lots of non EU games fall short, including several mentioned in this thread, e.g. Anthem

Right, but my opinion is that they should charge everyone. This is at least a step in that direction. It’s not “punishing” anyone, it’s making just making it more clear that instead of money they want you to pay with engagement. Apparently 2 links a month is enough of a loss in engagement that the marginal cost of hosting their page outweighs the value Meta gains from having that business on the platform for “free”.

Probably an unpopular take, but this is not a bad thing. Maybe weird on it being for link sharing, but it’s always been deeply anticompetitive to offer a free webpage. It’s bad for the market for them to set the price of hosting a webpage for a business at zero, and the network effects make it easier for them to lock businesses in

Wow you are exhausting. Someone asked about disinflation in basic necessities, they responded with a clear example in one of the necessities listed. Are you saying food is unimportant? Why are you incapable of accepting that disinflation has occurred in some cases, largely due to technological advancements? No one is talking about disinflation in medicine or housing because it hasn’t happened. It has with food. No one is trying to steer anything other than you.

FWIW “stoke” in the context of personal finance conjures images of burning piles of cash, for me at least

If you actually read through, the option to disable the functionality was already present… just not documented. So it seems the documentation repo was the correct place to open it

The comment they responded to literally listed food as a basic necessity. Are you not aware that bread comes from wheat?

US gets away with it because no one can challenge their military might, Israel gets away with it because any criticism of the state is “anti-Semitic”. Not the same thing
