It's a euphemism for the christian right, like "Y'all Queda". They are the ones who were "warning" us about sharia law a few years ago, who are now trying to implement their own sharia law.

Just because YOU chose to ignore something doesn't mean the rest of us have. Vaccination rates are still being reported and are still having a positive effect on infection rates. https://www.factcheck.org/2022/04/scicheck-covid-19-data-comparing-vaccinated-vs-unvaccinated-continues-to-be-available-contrary-to-viral-posts/
Odd, that.
Look, you seem to want to treat it as an all or nothing deal, like if they happen to use some of Microsoft's or Sony's services, then absolutely NOTHING can be released, and I don't think that's true at all. I get that there are challenges. I never said there weren't.
Further, I'm not trying to have a fucking boardroom discussion about the legalities or corporate intricacies involved in this, I'm expressing my desire for companies to consider releasing whatever code they can when they End-of-Life these games.
I am mostly talking about PC games, but I suspect a PS3 or XBox 360 online game server runs on a standard OS like Windows or Linux. Why would they waste resources building specialized hardware or OS to run a game server when existing platforms are more than capable?. Releasing the source code will allow others to pick it up and rewrite the software for home or private use, and remove any crap that is no longer necessary to do that.
I understand that for consoles, it might not be easy to get the actual game software to connect to a custom server, but part of the release could be to issue a patch to allow the selection of private servers from within the game. Also, emulation is a thing. The console hardware is not going to last forever, but they're not the only hardware that these games can be played on.
I REALLY wish these game companies would release the code for the servers that run the online components of these games when they retire them, so the community can take over, but that'll never happen.
Juul was/is doing the same thing, but rather than stop marketing to kids, they just keep on doing it. Now the FDA is taking action.
That too! I was more referring to the fact that he has not divested from his companies in any meaningful way, and he hosts a LOT of official events at his properties, which get paid for those events. He also plays golf at his own resorts, and charges the taxpayers for that too.

Oh, you'll let me have it, eh? How magnanimous of you. How about you stop acting like a wannabe moral authority here and actually point out what is wrong with what I posted? I pointed out that most of what you posted was inaccurate at the very least, and provided the factcheck.org link to back it up. You were like "Yeah, fAcTcHeCk.OrG. Whatever, they suck." I posted the link to Factcheck.org because it is very well respected with a history of accuracy. All you have done is accuse me of posting it because it has the word "fact" in the name. There are certainly some shortcomings on exhibit here, but they aren't mine.
Well your link sure isn't accurate.
It's FACTCHECK.ORG. What about it isn't accurate?
The CDC is getting more funding now then during Obama's term.
Only because of the pandemic. His 2021 budget still includes cuts to the CDC.
The head of the CDC pandemic response team quit, and in turn the CDC didn't appoint new people. In terms of budgetary concerns they weren't refilled.
The testing kids from the WHO are the same ones China was using which only have a 30% success rate on a first use, and it can require upwards of 5 tests to get to a 70% successful positive.
Great! So we had a choice of testing people with a kit that is 30% effective, or not testing anyone immediately, which is 0% effective. He chose the 0% route. Very presidential and perfect.
The two weeks of calling it a democrat hoax didn't happen, and only exists if you selectively quote mine an original statement to make it a truth.
He spent 2 weeks claiming the dems and the "fake new" were blowing it all out of proportion, but here we are, about to declare a national emergency, in the midst of travel restrictions, grocery stores with nothing in them, and a WHO declared pandemic.

You didn't even need to read the article, the summary explains that:
the cookies it plants are isolated to the container. This prevents Facebook Like buttons and embedded comments from working on other sites. There is also an issue with sites that require or offer a Facebook login, which you can now overcome by adding those sites to the container. Sites are added by clicking a fence icon and selecting "Allow site in Facebook container." The effect is like having two web browsers, one in which you are logged into Facebook and subject to potential tracking on any site which has Facebook content, and another where Facebook has no knowledge of you.
