All of the games that feature this mechanic are bad, empty, fintech husks. Often they feature same neon vaporwave artstyle, maybe with apes, and usually are transparently asset flips designed more to to feature on cryptocurrencies landing page then to be played. No good games include this ridiculous use case that I cannot imagine anyone who plays games even a little bit to want.

The VC world and the economy of online startups are almost like a planned economy. The extremely wealthy allocate money for these expensive yet unprofitable online services, like uber, doordash, and UpWork, almost like socialist central planners. So many of these modern businesses would not exist without the safety net of the extremely wealthy.

Also, how is DoorDash still unprofitable, despite taking 30% commissions from restaurants, and 25% commissions from delivery costs, during a pandemic which has many people locked inside??? It's like the Quibi excuse but somehow worse.

Read the linked new yorker article at the bottom of this one to see how they played a direct critical role in getting doctors to perscribe them for minor pain.

I really wonder what the author of the sites endgoal is. Do they want flatpak to be eliminated? Do they think theyre stopping the next "systemd" from taking over their favorite distro?

Can you prove that you aren't yourself? How would someone prove that?? I believe you are allowed to say "free tibet" etc on tiktok without any problems right now.

On twitter, im fairly sure AMP links are not hosted by Google. They use a standard developed and pushed by google but I believe the pages themselves are not served by them unless they are accessed from google search.
