I need these for a scientific research,

Lol. So you're go-to argument for this is false equivalence. Steam is a digital storefront. Vavle can't process digital payments without that information.

Also, research funding is a very real thing and anyone requiring funding is using an actual payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, Wire/ACH) which is going to require that information anyway.

Do you operate a payment processing company? Where can I find your privacy and compliance policy? Why do I need to send my financial credentials directly to you (an individual)?

Yeah that argument falls apart very quickly when we apply real-world policies to your hamstrung argument.

Why not?

That has nothing to do with the multiple different meanings of the word "rights". Plus anyone spending any significant amount of time in a legal field is going to have a much different interpretation than what you're implying here. That's why I said you should have been explicit with what you meant.

Reviewing has become a nightmare of sifting through under-documented kernel code trying to decide if this new feature won't break all the other features. Getting reviews is an unpleasant process of negotiating with demands for further cleanups, trying to figure out if a review comment is based in experience or unfamiliarity, and wondering if the silence means anything.

Damn I feel that

XFS has been the default file system for RHEL since RHEL 7. A lot of places typically roll with defaults there, so it makes sense to see it still widely used.

All good. Just wanted to add that its nice we can have this convo without insulting eachother lol.

I'm not defending their activities; I was looking for clarification on what the OP was claiming. My last sentence summary is essentially that.

Sure, but in that case it should absolutely be specified what type of "right" we're referring to. I'm guessing this falls in category of moral rights? They're breaking our moral rights by operating the same way each other digital storefront does.

Which storefront do you use to buy games? And does it accept crypto or something?

that infringes on your right

Which one(s)? Very interested to know if Valve is breaking the law by operating their digital storefront.

Cool article, but it bases most of its claims off Valve’s ToS for steam, their privacy policy, and an old Reddit post that has multiple people disputing its claims in comments. So no actual traffic snooping or any individual research into what the application is actually doing.

Yea they’re definitely going to store purchase-related information (Name, Address, Cc info, etc.), just about every digital storefront does. Where’s the actual danger at?

Hmm yes, very wise
