I was thinking more for companies.

It's outside my wheelhouse, so there are likely other valid reasons, but it would remove the need for a Docker license.

There is a large enough percentage of people hooking up from games that I would venture the odds are non-zero. While I think the odds are definitely better in real life, especially given that physical proximity increases the odds, not everyone is going to get lucky in real life either.

I'm not endorsing paid digital cosmetics, there is a lot going on here to hate, but I do want to point out that paid cosmetics(generalization) are a part of reality too. The clothes we wear, makeup, cars, and so on. Much of that is also transient in nature.

The makeup people wear in real life is fundamentally no different that the paid cosmetics in a game or on social media. You're augmenting your visual appearance to change how other view you. Arguably, the digital cosmetics are a better value as they can last longer.

There is something to be said about online social interaction vs offline interaction, but that is a separate argument than the validity of digital cosmetics. My point is only that, as people, we're more than willing to denounce the opinions and hobbies of others while ignoring how we're guilty of the same thing in other ways.

Again, just because it's common doesn't mean they aren't assholes for doing it. They're intentionally gaming the system for their own benefit. They did not need to sign an agreement with a company that would add the unit to the public network. That was a choice that they made, knowing they wouldn't want it to actually be public. I get that it can be normalized, but it doesn't absolve them.

They partnered with a company that puts them in their public network. If they didn't want to be part of that public network, they should have gone elsewhere. They knew what they were getting into when they signed on.

Those two things are not mutually exclusive.

I wouldn't consider a random car dealership the equivalent of Disney World. Even then, Disney World is only like a 2x markup.

That's just more of a defense for this guy, if anything. I would expect a markup over the going rates, but their $5/kWh is over 20x higher.

I commented on you else where, but this just adds to it. That makes your employer an asshole as well. If their charger is listed on a public network, that means it's intended for public access.

They willingly signed up to be part of a public network, it's on them for choosing to do so. They're absolutely assholes.

*more than adequate.

Sure, I don't think anyone needs to spend $500 on a toothbrush of any kind for consumer use. As for electric toothbrushes, I don't think everyone needs one. I do, however, think the ~$50 range is more then adequate to ensure a better quality brushing for those that struggle. The higher cost of replacements is offset by the reduction in dental problems.

Is that supposed to be different from the current state of things? I'm not saying people should but this, but there are people that would likely benefit from it.

I agree on the elitism part, but you very much did in fact tell people what to eat.

I don't agree 100%, but in general we should reduce our meat consumption.

In this instance, the ToS already says they have the right to use the content. By adding the toggle, they're at least superficially restricting their own license to the content. That means they either implemented this toggle for the purpose of lying, or to keep streamers from leaving over AI. I'm not ruling out lying, but given the amount of backlash over it even being opt-out it seems plausible that that it was added to keep their "product" happy.
