Pretty sure it’s the lifts in his shoes. He’s worn them for years because he can’t bear to be under a certain height. They tip him slightly forwards. That plus the corset.

It’s really weird, but not one of the many signs of dementia he shows, just vanity.

I am all for war if – and only if – the politicians and billionaires fight it themselves.

Cage matches between the elites and oligarchs of each nation. To the death.

Then I’ll get behind it.

Again, I meant for profit companies, like Nintendo.

Volunteer led orgs are different. Particularly those run by socialists.

e: most volunteer/socialist orgs don’t have ‘customers’.

I wasn’t justifying it. Perhaps that came across the wrong way.

They’re selling shit they never asked their users for and that’s bullshit, and should be illegal. Especially with children’s data.

My point was they’re doing it.

I’ve been in software design and development for decades. Sorry, but you are wrong.

The reason these companies are so profitable is because they sell your data.

Whales are fine, but that’s not their only revenue stream. People freely give up their data to them and that’s stupidly valuable. If you think these companies aren’t selling it, you’re very naive.

And to be clear, you’re saying this in response to an article pointing out they’ve been selling your data.

Yeah. Tell that to these fanatical lunatics. They’ll kill us all for their apocalyptic fantasies.

Yeah, I didn’t think I needed to make clear I meant with for profit companies like Nintendo.

Look, you can’t force Jesus to come back by following the rules.

Yeah, but many players don’t pay, especially the huge player bases of children. They can subsidise that by selling your data.

Nothing is free. All free services are using your data somehow.

If you’re not the customer, you’re the product.

In this case, it was mostly children’s data.

Ha. There’s no such thing as.

That’s literally the point of these protests.

We won’t listen to their authoritarianism.

Obviously they won’t sanction your protests. Like that should matter. If Nazis say they don’t want opposition, are you just going to say okay, we won’t protest without a permit?

That’s insane.
