The numbers have to come from somewhere, and we all know how good police are at making accusations against them go away.

So the reality is going to be much, much worse.

Sax.

It’s the devil’s instrument now that he lost his fiddle.

They’ve been putting super flexible screens in phones for years. They’re usually just sandwiched in glass for protection.

That’s how we got all those curved bezelless displays.

And Trump is just gonna cuddle up and spoon with the Palestinians, right?

He totally hasn’t openly said on on air that Israel need to finish the job and kill ALL Palestinians, right?

There’s corrupt and then there’s treasonous. Lots of politicians do shady things. Not many literally sell nuclear secrets to our enemies or provide hit lists of our foreign assets.

One is worse than the other.

Which one was being prosecuted for stealing and selling classified data before the judge he owned threw out the case?

Which one is being sentenced for felonies on Friday?

Which one held a private meeting with Russian spies while in office, then immediately asked for a list of informants, followed a few weeks later by a bunch of informants regarding Russian interests suddenly being killed?

Trump is a treasonous monster.

It’s not just youtubers. It’s anyone who uses affiliate links. Online ads use affiliate links.Things like Amazon Smile used affiliate linking for charity fundraising.

And since Honey was jacking links class action is the only way for them to really do it. No individual affiliate can point out their individual loss through Honey because Honey erased their links.

That means the class action needs to go after all affiliate revenue Honey has ever made.

Youtubers who had their affiliate links hijacked aren’t subject to the EULA.

Put hundreds of them in a pretty boxes, form an LLC, get a few VCs to sign on, flip the switch, then charge a monthly fee to “open previously-inacessible service areas to cellular customers” and you’ll have a successful startup!

Not that specific one, but I did have a fly fuck up a selection in photoshop a few times before I just unplugged the USB connection to the monitor.

Not as bad as the IR touch screens. They had a IR field protected just above the surface of the screen that would be broken by your finger, such would register a touch at that location.

Or a fly landing on your screen and walking a few steps could drag a file into the recycle bin.

My point is that SteamOS is similar to Android from a business perspective.

They’re making an OS for free that anyone can install, but they’re doing it to get people to buy software from Steam.

Yeah, you don’t have to use Steam as your software provider, but Android users don’t have to use the Play Store.

Guess where almost all apps are purchased on Android? Valve wants to be the Google of the mobile PC gaming world.

I actually typed Origin when I meant to type EGS, which charges 18% to Steam’s 30%.

They offer a free operating system anyone can use that’s name after their company and designed to play games sold through the included store for a 30% cut of sales.

What saints!

If Google did something similar, I bet everyone would say they’re a great company and not at all evil…

Gabe is a billionaire monopolist, not your friend.

I really don’t get the love for Valve. They charge double the fees of some other digital platforms, and people flip the fuck out when a developer is like "we’re releasing on origin because paying Valve would cost more money than the entire net profit of the game.

I carry 2 phones all the time. I work in government. If I use my phone for work, it becomes subject to Open Records requests, so the city gives me a stipend to pay for a second phone to do all my city business.

I worked at a different city that didn’t do that for most employees, and everyone just used their personal phones anyway. We got an Open Records request that resulted in me having to search everyone’s text message history. I felt dirty.

At the reveal they were talking about using Apollo on it.

That worked out great…

This particular pope has been a huge improvement.

I legitimately don’t know why Google hasn’t filtered it out of image search results. It’s harmful to Google’s platform.

Yesterday I woke up near Dallas, went to Houston for family stuff, went back to Dallas for different family stuff, and had to be at work at 8am this morning in Austin.

I think just going to work is less work.
