I don't think you understand how discourse works? I made no demands and I made no assertions about entitlements. That reply to me was a strawman. I made two statements: 1) I suggested people have multiple criteria for…
That's all I was saying. Valve is way ahead of most of the rest of everyone else. But they are still shady. We should be ok with pointing at the shady parts of things we like and going, "It would be better if it were…
I look at neither for reviews. Steam Reviews are often bombed to hell for things like, "Game has woman. Woke." or "Game has racism." or other culture war nonsense. Or the very common, "Creator I follow on Youtube…

Of course now it does, but it was bootstrapped off the back of commercial success. The parent poster was suggesting Epic could only finance a game store off the commercial success of Fortnite. Which seemed to be the…
That's a weird structuring of the concern. How about letting all developers enjoy the fruits of their work?
Sorta. The animal welfare laws say that getting images out of food production facilities are terrorism. Which suggests that an authoritarian regime could/would deploy a lot more of the state power against them. And I…

I don't understand. You think Steam exists without Half Life and Counterstrike?
> HN is 'social media', btw. Sure is! If you read the thread before posting in the thread, you'd see that it's come up already.
What nonsense. A decision about workplace should be a combination of factors -- workplace culture, products you can work on, compensation, skill fit, alignment with your interests, etc. You should feel empowered to have…

Ok! Happier is a fine place to be. They are both still too high. Not everything has to be binary -- I can think Valve is offering some utility and also think that Valve is charging too much for that utility. The fact…
Valve makes a significant amount of their money from the gambling they've attached to their games, and profits immensely from the culture of farming loot boxes to gamble on for skins and such. They also take an absurd…
I'm aware. If I lost the forum on HN as a side effect, I'd probably be happier overall.
Great. Please raise the age to 115.
I don't understand your comment. Is it an attempt at humor? Don't be a dick. I don't object to eating animals, I object to torturing animals in the process of raising them. You can raise pork without forcing mother pigs…
Reread the parent post more closely. It does not tell them: A) which site nor B) which password. The parent can log in because they have a map of site<->password. But without either the site or the password, the…
I have those things? Did you miss the part where I have multiple vanity URLs and hundreds of email addresses? Of course I have a paid mail provider and catch all. The problem is the cost of haveibeenpwned is too much…
It is only free if you have fewer than 10 pwned addresses.
I have 15 pwned email addresses. It's free for under 10.
> Oh - and 1.3 billion unique passwords, 625 million of which we'd never seen before either. It's not just email addresses. It's address + password combos. But also, how did 2 billion email addresses get exposed?…
Have I been pwned will tell me if the associated password for that site leaked. I create unique passwords per site, but lets say my mastercard login gets pwned -- that'd be one I want to change the password for right…
It's not the email address itself that I care about, and that's not the service that the site provides. It tells you for which email addresses a related password has been pwned.
