yeah, i just wish people thought more about these things. There are consequences not just to yourself but possibly towards fellow pirates and bystanders. Personally I have benefitted from family sharing greatly, much more than from piracy as with piracy you have to accept the possibility of malware which I cant afford at the moment. I really dont want to see valve rescind it.

if all humans could plan for the future and wished inherently to make world into better place for others too instead of just themselves communism might work. But as it is, the idea needs some heavy reworking to adjust for human defiencies to be worth even considering. I dont understand how they even came up with something like this and thought its good idea as it is. And naively thought no one would abuse their power or even could manage it all efficiently. Maybe it wasnt idea born out of wanting to make better world but instead just counter reaction to capitalism.
its so annoying, i have this vague idea of something like world without exploitative private property. Like, money would be replaced with actual value of work you have done, you could reasonably use tools and resources without being gatekept by private ownership while still being allowed to have your own things as long as it doesnt cause harm to others. When someone wants more than they can have, its solved instead by working towards improving things for everyone instead of just yourself.
but its just that, a vague idea; mostly fit to taunt me like dangling bottle of water out of reach of someone dying of thirst. And its seeming more and more like wishing one could do magic. It doesnt seem like humans could ever be capable of having a world like that or even want to .
far be it from me to defend any corporation, but doesnt this send wrong kind of a message to them? They didnt need to make family sharing, let alone remind you if you can already play a game through it when purchasing one. This isnt typical behaviour and should be allowed a little slack for it, to show other corporations that not being asshole is more profitable.
If valve goes bad then nothing is too horrible, but until that, its kind of bad form to stab a hand that offers a little kindness, even if their ultimate goal is to just make money by staying on top by having good will. I dont think we can expect to get anything better.
other corps dont seem to be getting the message that not being asshole is more profitable, but I think valve can very easily start thinking that being nice is weakness if that is exploited.
rethink is pretty good for that. it lets you control how applications can access internet
also those who dont want to install that spyware shit on their phones. Even if you dont care about the data collection it still consumes battery faster as more and more data is being transferred
if the testing sites are indeed doing it then they are likely more efficient about it, trying to make money from selling the data they gather. Worst thing about them is they are completely unnecessary and pointless even if they were trying to help users with blockers. There is no point in testing your adblocker, just go to the sites you usually go and if you see ads then it doesnt work properly.
if those sites are gathering information about adblockers to find ways to make them not work, they are harmful.
doing all he can to gain more power and get more ways to crush opposition. He has already subverted democratic process. When did he get elected to do stuff that affects your government and country?
Not much better on the upper deck of titanic than elsewhere

only thing that inherently has worth to me is making world better place. Communism is just a tool, if it doesnt work correctly then it ought to be fixed or abandoned for something else that works better. And evidently it doesnt work correctly considering how china or soviet union turned out to be for those not in power.
