I don't have time to watch a few videos right now, but I'll take a look later.

Can you explain how, by agreeing to take a loan, the other party is responsible for piling a debt upon you? If I go to the bank to get a loan and then don't pay it back, it's not the bank who is the asshole, it's me for agreeing to a contract I can't or have no intention of fulfilling.

I get being upset with your government who agreed to a deal you might deem shitty, or with the party who offered the deal in the first place. But to take the money, yell "fuck you, I'm not gonna pay you back", and then claim the other party are the wrong for giving you a deal you agreed to just seems very fucked up to me.

Sure you can. It's just that it comes across a whole lot less hypocritical coming from someone who hasn't first exploited that system themselves.

Fair enough. I'll admit I didn't try very hard in trying to figure out what point they were trying to make and only went with the first result. Judging by their refusal to elaborate, I think I made the right call by not trying harder.

I suppose that's one way of not answering the question.

He was also the financial advisor of sorts at Valve, the company that takes a 30% of all their pc game sales.

I googled "how much does a Greek island home cost?" instead, it told me they are as cheap as 3 million euros, and I don't think that includes the house or other facilities.

I'm not sure I get your point.

TIL. Thanks! Weird that the app is still called "Phillips Hue" though. Probably a matter of time.

I think it mostly a matter of "most of the copyrighted material belongs to companies, fuck companies", as well as a little bit of "I have nothing to ~~hide~~ steal". And of course a fair dose of "magic box makes pretty pictures, don't take it away". But maybe I'm just cynical.

Use your real name and photo online, they said. What could go wrong, they said.

Isn't that just a Philips subsidiary?
