I have become massively addicted & invested in this drama.
Reckless Ben has created extremely entertaining content about this, treads a line of goofy and cute while raising a massive amount of publicity for this issue.

I have no doubts that there are flaws in his side of the story, that he has approached some aspects badly. But all of the responses from BAM and Fork PD (BAM CEO on a livestream, BAM internal email, Fork PDs press release) are weak, evasive, even proveably wrong.
And Reckless Ben has absolutely clowned them.

And there are still more Reckless Ben videos to be released.

So, being born on 1st January 1970 won't work anymore?
What if I've had my steam account for more than 18 years?

OSA is a pile of shit

You know how I explain it for people that don't get it?

You don't assume someone's name.

You don't walk up to a complete stranger and say "Hey bob, nice to meet you".

So why would you assume any other part of their identity?

Your mistake was referencing a woketionary.

I'm just surprised this isn't a systemd joke

I always figured the role of president was more of a figure head.
I get the buck stops with them, they can do their veto and special powers thing, and I'm sure there are other "ultimately this is your decision" type things.
But it's the administration you are voting on.

I'm sure it feels amazing to have "that one guy" steering your country. But, I'm sure they mostly do what their advisors tell them to

I always think about using nixos. But considering I dockerise everything, I always end up using Debian.
Good old stable Debian

I dont think "not wanting to outsource to the cheapest labour pool" is a hallmark of the left or the right wing.
I think "not wanting to outsource" is both progressive and anti-capitalist.

Doing things as cheap as possible, no matter who suffers, is absolutely a capitalist thing, and is why government regulation and government oversight is so important... As long as the government isnt in on it, of course (thats just a corrupt government)

Its the DRM of shopping.
Impacts legit customers, does very little for everyone else.
After the media hype of a shoplifting crime spree hitting world wide, i imagine this is some businesses answer to that, and they managed to sell it to supermarkets
