The enemy of my enemy etcetera...

But how will my binary black hat/white hat worldview survive?

Yeah, this case shows how complex democracy can be. Yes, on the one hand, Disney is using legal loopholes to circumbent the will of the elected representatives of the people. And that’s not good.

A natural monopoly typically involves a barrier to entry so high that only entity with a huge amount of resources could plausibly do the job. It’s a way of saying that the goods or services in question would take away a substantial percentage of resources of the economy as a whole. The traditional example is rail…

It can both be true that western companies made bad long term business decisions by going all in on cheap SEA labor and also that China has done the best job of taking advantage of that greed in order to become a global economic power.

It’s fun. I enjoyed it. I thought it was limited, but sometimes things don’t need to be more than that to make them valid.

Just a modern-day interpretation of the Fugitive Slave Act, no worries

I mean, it seems far more the result of all consumer electronics moving towards a “Walled Garden” of available apps.

Microsoft doesn’t “own” “emulation”...? This is about people using workarounds to install emulation software on their production Xbox’s.

I will always be a Cheez-Its fan for life (the extra toasty are sublime), but my current new favorite is the Harvest Snaps green bean ‘chips’. Fairly cheap, supposedly nutritious, and you know they’re good when you are able to mindlessly eat a whole bag without realizing it. 

“Hey Bob grab your cooler and some beers. I threw the TV in my Kia. We can pull off I-99 just north of Modesto and watch some Dream Home Makeover on Netflix from the side of the highway. Good times!”

I hope those 2 fans get what they want, but I didn’t realize the Sony handheld market was that small.

Every other business in America should be chilled by this. If he’s willing to use the state to retaliate against the political free speech of one of the biggest corporations in the world (can’t have this one both ways, GOP), he’s sure as hell willing to do it to every other business that crosses him or that he sees…

Yeah, putting aside the “cheering for mega-corps” angle, Desantis was literally just trying to retaliate because his fascist policies weren’t liked, and install stooges on these boards for the sole purpose of blackmailing Disney into altering its content by holding hostage the things that council controlled. That’s *li…

It’s poetic justice that a mega corp used the policies championed and enacted by the GOP for decades to shut little Ronnie down like a child.
