@Ilandar You get penalized if you don't. In particular, if reddit decides to "lock your account for suspicious activity, please change password to re-enable" you can't do that and your account is just gone

@mrbubblesort @gsa32 no, but they'd have to answer with whatever they do have, which is your email address and IP addresses

@adespoton @TerryTPlatypus I like Social Justice Incorporated

@Sentrovasi @matey @Schooner @vis4valentine @Parched_Monkey abolish capitalism

@hoodatninja @majestictechie @vis4valentine @Kushan @charles Isn't it obvious? They want many players to have all of the content. Which is possible, because content doesn't run out if one service plays it too much.

@Fleppensteijn even in more lenient countries, selling or giving away a copy that you made is illegal

@Fleppensteijn what? They actually tried to make reselling VHSes and DVDs illegal. And of course we all know that copying them is illegal.

@Fleppensteijn @vis4valentine another thing to consider is whether the creators of the work actually receive anything. When you pay to watch Barbie, basically 100% of that money goes to Bob Iger or someone like that. That's what the strikes are about. When you pay to play Factorio, a lot more of the money goes to the people who made it.

@Tekchip @AndrewZen And the protocol is a million times more complicated and doesn't always work reliably and requires a lot more server resources.

@randomguy2323 @privacy It's only a gimmick, for now. Notice they had to use multiple access points and receivers and calibrate the system based on the room it was in.

@Dark_Arc this is generally referred to as accelerationism and I think it's a cromulent ideology.

If you think the only way to get to a sane world is to achieve and pass through the insane one first, then doing it as quickly as possible makes sense.

@igalmarino @privacy it won't erode encryption worldwide - any more than China did. They'll just pull out of the UK
