I don’t get why the gaming platforms are removing games instead of removing the objecting payment providers as a payment option for purchasing those particular games.
I think the issue isn’t that the payment providers don’t want to support the purchase of those games with their card. They want to stop offering their services to a platform that sells those games.
You can be child-free and still be married. Anyway.
A wise thing to do is for men to have their own “Tea” type of app to balance things out. I see no reason not to.
This would probably be an equal breach of privacy for less gain.
Female Tea (if used properly) is about protecting women from being abused.
Male Tea would probably be more about flagging girls that want expensive dates and don’t put out.
Like, sure, go ahead. Have a male Tea app. But the stakes are not the same.
“What about” is a fantastic way to breed apathy when people are protesting something. You’re doing nothing for any of those causes with this comment. You’re making things worse for all of those causes, plus the one this post is about. And your comment only tangentially relates to the Community this post is in…
Ok fine. Dark Voice “Sacrifice the men! It’s for the greater good!”
Do you really think that’s the alternative here?
I can’t tell if you’re putting on a bit based on your username or something…
I’m not sure what that has to do with the comment above yours, but you’re comparing men becoming “essentialy undatable” to women being raped. Perhaps unknowingly.
What’s a better half?
it’s just a hundred people telling you what Linux distro they use.
Oh come on, Lemmy doesn’t have that many users!

If it were the only option, I’d gladly take it.
I rely on robots to do a lot of other things in my life, directly and indirectly.
Well, not many directly. But machines, definitely.
As a Canadian, I’d be upset if we got paywalled. The BBC is where I go to for trusted news on international concerns.
Understandable, but I’d still be upset.
I actually like this. No politics. No big name personalities. No distractions.
Just a search bar to ASK me what I want to see before it tells me what it thinks I want to see.
If it wasn’t for the AI nonsense, this could’ve actually been a great idea.
Businesses might want to use Reddit comments as ads.
Reddit says “Hey, let us find those glowing reviews that we have as Reddit comments, and you can link directly to the original source!”
Then the original comment writer could edit their comments to call political figures pedos, and businesses learn their lesson that this kind of stuff is not suited for using Reddit as a primary source, lol
If I wanted an AI summary, I’d put the article into my favourite LLM and ask for one.
I’m sure LLMs can take links sometimes.
And if Wikipedia wanted to include it directly into the site…make it a button, not an insertion.
That is more a failure of the person who made that decision than a failing of ChatBots, lol
Because people want to feel superior because they don’t know how to use a ChatBot can count the number of "r"s in the word “strawberry”, lol
Stealing from Reddit is just stealing from a thief in a way…
In North America, most major mainstream news companies are owned by right-wing or right-leaning corporations. In Canada, I think it’s literally all of them.
how Microsoft couldn’t afford to keep creating e-waste
23 years later, they seem to be affording it quite well! Haha
Interesting! Maybe it’s a similar situation on Steam, but the payment providers demanded the platforms act immediately (or at least too soon for them to make such changes).
Or maybe Steam gets too many chargebacks on NSFW games and is ok with this? Lol
