He said he was UK based… 100% unenforceable, an employment tribunal wouldn’t even bother hearing it

If you replaced “company” with “monopoly” in your last sentence, I agree.
Also it depends what’s driving that attitude… if it’s an ethos from Gabe then great but he won’t be around forever… what happens when he dies/retires?
Many companies have started with great ethics that went out of the window when the founders moved on, and Steam is in a fantastic position to enshitify if it wanted to.
Playing devil’s advocate, I’d argue the in the wild community testing is more likely to uncover an edge case that the formal testing didn’t envisage…? 🤷🏻♂️
The idea is it gives enough time for competition to establish and then everyone completes on an even footing without fettering the original monopoly after it’s no longer a monopoly in that space… arguably it worked as Chrome took over but all that’s happened it it made a new monopoly 🤷🏻♂️

ios autocorrect was already pretty dreadful
Market cap of Nintendo - 50 billion Market cap of Microsoft - 2.4 trillion
Unity - “hold my beer”
Unless I’ve missed something I don’t see how this makes WhatsApp worse…? Just don’t sign up to the people’s channels if you don’t want to 🤷🏻♂️
Highlander, as well as being a great fantasy movie, explores these themes a little.
If you haven’t seen it, I’d strongly suggest watching it.
It’s own thing… and it’s definitely trying to not be the same as Lemmy, Reddit etc
Have a read of the stuff here:
And see what you think… if it’s for you, you can email admin for an invite (which can take a couple of weeks due to backlog) or find another user with invites left to invite you (I’m out at the moment)
I find Tildes is pretty good for this sort of thing, as long as you take the time to actually write something decent behind the post to show you are asking / debating in good faith and not just being an asshole.
I still think a Usenet like service would be brilliant and it’s a shame there isn’t a Lemmy-like service that has that.
To clarify, what I mean is decentralised infrastructure (you go onto the news server you want) with shared content (ie the same was that every Usenet post ends up on every Usenet server, if that server carries that newsgroup) - it gives all the advantages of federalisation (don’t like your server, just go to another, you lose little or nothing) without the disadvantages of unintuitive discovery and fragmentation.
There was some moderated groups, the group name usually ended in .moderated.
All it meant was somebody with the moderator role on that group had to approve every post… only thing I never understood is how one became a moderator on those groups 🤷🏻♂️
It’s weird with Big Bang Theory, when it first started me and my friend circle loved it, thought it was brilliant but yes it did lose something after a few seasons.
But online everyone just seemed to hate it - could it be because we’re British and it just landed better with us…?
Original Scrubs was one of the best shows ever made in my opinion - great cast and chemistry, genuinely funny whilst also bringing in the drama and tragedy of a hospital and it’s patients, great writing, kept up momentum until the end (the original end not the crap that come after), great acting, one of the most faultless TV shows ever made.
Take the Keane Reeves approach to having a relaxed life - don’t have any arguments, to paraphrase him “Two plus two equals five? OK great, have a nice day, see you around!”
I’m out of work and slowly burning through the savings so doubling it would give me an extra six months headroom
