grue, do astronomy w Incredible galaxy with no visible stars discovered by accident

The fact that we’re not willing to pay the relative pittance (compared to lots of other shit in the Federal budget) to rebuild Arecibo is criminal.

grue, do notjustbikes w Why North America Can't Build Nice Apartments (because of one rule)

Staircases are not the real reason why North American apartments are different. Minimum parking requirements are the real reason.

TL;DR: the way it was supposed to work is that entities that wanted limited liability were granted corporate charters in exchange for providing some large, tangible public benefit (and very much not just “shareholder value”, BTW). This post-Dodge v. Ford Motor Co. world where corporations are essentially mandated to be sociopathic is an absolute 100% perversion of what incorporation was meant to be for!

MineClone

The top DDG search result for that (on crazygames . com) looks like a rip-off or something. I’m going to assume the thing you mean to recommend is MineClone2, a mod for MineTest, which is the most prominent Free Software Minecraft-style game.

grue, do games w Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine

The cost of producing something doesn’t change depending on who you sell it to. Charging anything beyond cost + some reasonable profit margin is unethical profiteering.

grue, do games w Valve fails to get out of paying its EU geo-blocking fine

Sure, in the same way it’s the government’s “fault” for removing your option to, say, run a protection racket, or agree to a contract of indentured servitude, or sell baby formula with melamine in it. There are lots of abusive or exploitative business models that the government removes your option to engage in! And the government is right to do it.

🤷 Still not the regulator’s fault.

That’s on Valve, not the regulators. Valve is perfectly free to lower the prices EU-wide to what the citizens of the poorer EU countries can afford.

grue, do games w Unity adding a fee for devs for each time a game is installed, after certain thresholds
