amazon android products are already rolling their own app store. Why would this stop them?

It's amazing how a pro-copyright coalition of 560 members can somehow manage to waste their time focusing on something that won't help their cause at all, not that it's a cause worth supporting anyway.

Killing plex, or any other piece of software that is literally just used to serve media from a individuals private hard drive, or a friend's hard drive will not do *anything* to prevent piracy in any way.

I don't understand how these people can even justify copyright law to themselves in the first place.

Likely being voted down because you're posting as an AC.
Secondly, if you are trying to do phish exercises at your workplace, you do not need to register a domain for that. You can just use the network's DNS or hosts file.

an oppressive region can still have its leader decided by representative democracy.

People's situations are often unique when it comes to being trapped in a job, there is not 1 size fits all situation to how poor people are poor.

The "pull yourself up from the boot straps" argument is bad because not everyone can manage that.

This is not the case with capitalism, though.
You are paid by your employer less than the value you produce, if this was not true, your employer's company would not work as it would not be producing profit.
This is like one of the most basic critiques of capitalism yet you went ahead and said something as silly as this.

An employer steals more in value than taxes ever do, if you want to complain about theft, shift focus.

You wouldn't be the matt dillon behind DragonFlyBSD, would you?

The whole attraction of having a cheap camera set up on your front door is understandable, easy and cheap security feature to add. However such thing has been around a lot longer before the trillion dollar tech company figured out how to use it to exploit consumers. With a bit more trouble you can set up a "eye hole camera" set up to a raspberry pi as an easy door security camera without using the local police department as your video backup drive.
You can probably even find solutions where you dont need to mess with an RPI at all, that is less evil than this doorbell ring.

If you are referring to me you are both wrong and misrepresenting what i said grossly

Hello. Owner of Noir Trading. Its a CS:GO Trading server. I'm a high tier trader as well.

This is valve covering their tracks, They are trying to prevent as many kids from gambling as possible while still having a profitable economy.
Their claim that the keys are being used for money laundering proves that they acknowledge cash out sites which are absolutely needed in order to keep the economy afloat.
What the slashdot post fails to mention in its summary is that this only affects any new keys bought from valve, if you are a trader with hundreds or thousands of dollars in keys in your inventory, don't fear, they are still tradable and marketable. (yes such people do exist)
I don't believe this will affect skin prices at all, ever since valves 7 day trade restriction (an update that caused servers like mine to drop in population and caused many to shut down) people have been moving from keys to liquid(term for stable price and constant demand) items in other games that are not affected by the 7 day trade hold in order to use as a currency to trade for skins. Examples of these are TF2 keys for lower tier items and Dota 2 Arcanas for higher tier items. Keeping these things considered, and that key trading has not been that standard of a currency since 2016, this is not going to devastating to the market.

People have acknowledged that the key price on the steam market has gone way up and some have even considered using this as an opportunity to invest, This is NOT a sound investment. the raise of price is caused by people who don't know what they are doing, buying up the market believing it is a worthy investment, not by people raising the price. Since keys are still always available from valve directly at a set price, people who are investing in keys will see their overpriced investment perish as people refuse to buy them for beyond 2.50 USD a key.

If you are part of the crowd who wants to see "loot boxes" disappear, I assure it's not all negative. The skin economy has made players stick to this wonderful game, As I am a major contributor to this community I can confidently say that this community also brings people together. There IS a scummy side to this, an ocean of scammers trying to deceive you any chance they get, but if you know what you are doing, the trading community can be a way to meet friends and make memories.
