Your prudery and moralism bores the hell out of me https://randomrantdispenser.neocities.org/rant04-2024-07-18

ps: If you are replying to me on some beehaw community I won’t see it. I have no intention of interacting with that instance again. Echo Chambers are a cancer rotting away your brain.

  • ehh, how could it not collect such data if you’re creating an account, buying stuff, and posting things hosted on their servers? The shady part is how much of it it shares with other companies - like, yeah, obviously it’s going to share your login info with the companies whose games you’re logging into through your Steam account, or send your bank the info that this person with this credit card just paid for something.

    The only game devs you can support directly are the ones on Kickstarter selling physical copies - there’s some fantastic stuff, especially for retro-gaming fans.

    I’ve been a pirate all my life. At some point I had a Steam account, but I never bought any games, only played some free ones, and later I deleted the acc. A few years back I decided to start buying games on GOG because I don’t need to use any installer or launcher, I can just download a .exe and do whatever I want with it.














  • Trump announced 50% tariffs (higher than those he’d announced for any other country at the time) and the USA buys about 20% of Brazil’s production - mainly minerals, oil, and steel, but it’s also the main buyer of Brazilian coffee. A few days before the tariffs took effect, Trump exempted about 600 items, so it was mostly a bluff, I guess he didn’t really want to penalize American industry just to protect some Latin wannabe dictator, however, he kept the coffee tariffs, and roughly half the coffee consumed in the USA came from Brazil - so yeah, the reason Americans are paying more for coffee is that Trump made a bluff to protect a friend and didn’t want to look so dumb when it got called lol
