I'd prefer living in a world where social security is enough for me not to worry about things like "saving money".

Nope. I'd rather there not be a thing called a stock market at all.

So something that produces nothing of value to civilization. Gotcha.

Uh? Where did you get that comparison? China's top income tax rate is 45%. I cannot see how that could ever be "far below" what someone's income tax rate would be in California (37% federal + 12.3% state). Mind that the top bracket starts around $140k in China, whereas in the US it's about $590k (federal or Californian).

Ah yes, the famous centrally planned economy of San Francisco, California, USA.

So Next.js did everything right, but is built upon React that does too much. Okay?

Make sure that someone doesn't tamper with your device. No, it's not infallible. Yes, it's better than nothing.

Your first link is an obvious PR piece to stave off customers' panic.

I don't know where you got the impression that google fonts was "automatically banned".

> Why wouldn't a "agreement" already be in place by the mere fact that those URLs are open to the entire world on purpose?

What does that even mean?

It only seems complex because everyone has been implementing user-hostile datamining operations for years before GDPR was enacted. So for every external service you use, you must make sure that they implemented GDPR compliance or not. If GDPR had been a law since the beginning, it would be much simpler.

Although I'd like to know, what difficulties have you been facing in your startup, exactly?

How is a game running at 144 FPS more "fun" than one running at 60 FPS?

While the sibling comment has answered on why this is nothing like social media or video games, I do wish that the energy cost of these activities was taken into account more often. Video games in particular have become massively wasteful. Just downloading these 100GB behemoths expends useless energy. And everyone is pushing for 8K 172FPS games. Why? Just why?

And yes, before you answer, that applies to any hobby you can think of. You won't be astute by pointing out that e.g., car enthusiasts are similarly wasteful.

Sure. Continue to pollute.
