The profit motive is also the source of enshittification.
Meanwhile Steam is successful by just not trying to squeeze every last penny they possibly can out of you, and they have a massive grip on games. It’s almost like you get more money by not pissing off the people giving you money
Whilst also ignoring the fascist in their forums, and allegedly firing all their moderators who could deal with such problems.
That’s the one trick capitalists forget about. Happy customers are usually returning customers
Edit: Also free marketing because of recommendations
Getting out of the next quarter mindset is very hard for corpos.
I’ve never done anything with a profit incentive in my life
…and it’s becoming a problem. 😭
I’m with you on this. But if(“true”) makes me want to murder people.
Maybe its just a simple way of turning a feature on and off during development
Yes, like eventually there will be a variable toggle, but for now, we just need it to run until Control+C.
Good eye, looks like that source code image is AI-generated, it looks like no programming language I’ve seen before. It looks closest to a weird hybrid of COBOL and Javascript.
My apologies for unintentionally exposing innocent people to that, I was not aware.
Firefighters still charge you.
Volunteer firefighters charge you? I mean sometimes they ask for donations I guess.
The fire department I volunteered at charged you for stuff like car crashes. A few weeks ago I got a bill from the fire department for a car accident I caused. Maybe it’s a European thing? The fire department does get funding from the country and from events they host (that’s probably just an Austrian thing)
Still, considering the spirit of the post… were you paid out of that money?
Just Austria being weird it sounds like to me
But not to enrich themselves.
Well you see, Bob…
