I really, really like Gitlab... but this is a MAJOR problem and spectacularly short-sighted.

"If conservatives become convinced that they cannot win democratically, they will not abandon conservatism, they will abandon democracy."

"Price of waging war..."

Indiscriminate bombardment of civilians is not "war" Joe, it's fucking terrorism and genocide.

"But I have no confidence in the number that the Palestinians are using,”

Of course! Indiscriminately shelling a densely populated civilian population for weeks surely couldn't add up to such numbers! Let's just split the difference and call it two or three.

Yes, Hamas is a terrorist organization, but Israel is a terrorist state. Civilians are caught in the middle because we allow the terror to continue.

Do NOT apologize for mass murder and coordinated, deliberate terror.

Makes good business sense

I would never call such horrifically predatory tactics “good business sense.” It’s abuse of market position and should draw the ire of antitrust regulators, as well as make their product a major business risk for any new projects.

Let’s not forget that Unity recently merged with a malware company, so borderline-illegal predation is their entire business strategy.

And they should. If you aren't going to California, Hawaii, or Massachusetts... you should be careful about vetting the state you plan on visiting. Things have gotten very nasty in "red states" over the last few years.

We need a 95% tax bracket for anyone that makes more than a few million/year.

This is usually how FREE TRIALS work, though, and always has been.

Steam Deck's secret sauce is the software. Steam Deck's software isn't all OSS yet (it's NOT the same as the publicly available SteamOS), so the alternatives are all running on Windows which... is not good (especially for a handheld).

Honestly, just get a Steam Deck. The "power" differences are just not meaningful at that form factor right now.

They are not being bought by regular people like you - they are being bought by investment companies, hedge funds, and filthy rich investors... all for the the sole purpose of turning them into rentals.

By turning them into rentals, they keep supply low which increases prices... which prevents people from buying, keeping rental demand high, which also lets them charge exorbitant rental rates. They are gaming both sides of the system to ensure that us peasants can be milked dry over a fundamental human need.
