Doxxing Files |OT| Do not use a pandemic to make a platform wars thread

Caught a 1 week ban calling out Apple corporate whores cheerleading 30% of all software revenue for reasons. I did the math - Apple made 15 billion last year alone off the store's cut which is enough to salary around 80,000 software engineer IIIs in the US. That's nearly all of Microsoft's developers just for the store.

"But best buy" - they have physical stores with employees, taxes and utilities that must be repeated per location and they get like 25%. "But Google and epic" fuck them too. Let's make everything win32 and dpkg and remove this highway robbery.

Didn't realize Apple nutters are a protected social class, gotta mass ignore the diehards. There was one person that ended up agreeing with me that store platform monetization should be largely based on utilitization, eg data for downloads, updates, with a bit of progression on high revenue to finance free apps. The rest of them are beyond reasoning.

Other genders have some kind of community trying to help and up-lift eachother.
Men don't have that. In fact, they have the complete opposite, a community that actively tell you to kill yourself and constantly downplay your achievements, your feelings, everything.
So when someone of any other gender want to commit suicide, they tend to had some kind of help before. It either stop them completely or make them try what's called a "Cry for help" where they try to kill themselves in a way where they're much likely to be saved.

Imagine a message board where saying “women” is verboten.

Well I mean the title and the article frames the problem as less of an issue with women which isn't the case. Mental health and suicide awareness is important for all genders and we should be inclusive in our conversations.

Love this “Well Actually” post. Wonder if it would go over well in a BLM thread?

[Lonewulfeus]

I am not blaming any child. I am criticizing the adults that made a move that literally focuses the camera on young girls genitals as they perform a hypersexualized dance routine in very tight clothing. I am just going to put this out there as explicitly as possible. The problem with this film needs to be made clear. The dance routine at the end has the girls bending over and preforming sexualized dance moves while the camera focuses on their genitals. You can literally see the shape of their genitals (to put it crudely, cameltoe). Not once, not by accident, but instead multiple deliberate (sometimes in slow motion) camera shots. That is valid criticism regardless of who made the movie or what they were trying to convey.

Dude watched the movie like this apparently

[Boredfrom]

who are we to ask this black muslim director to change her unique and challenging vision just to fit our own cultural values

this narrative that minorities have to "be better" somehow has got to stop

Thematically its problematic to certain ideologies, as it represents the major critique of post-colonial criticism; namely that you can talk about cultural relativism and cultural dominance all you want, but many people would argue that certain Western cultural values, specifically those espoused by Post-Enlightenment Liberalism, are in fact superior to things like strict literal patriachies, caste systems, theocracies, etc. and it's not actually a bad thing that those cultural values superseded prior cultures.

Being fair, the most annoying and loudest people are the ones that deep down don’t have problems with certain western values and don’t see contradictions while defending views that otherwise will claim outdated. Like the Renegade Cut guy that uses the  unironically while defending the fact that he is still a pretty big privileged person that makes social political YT videos of Ghostbusters films and Star Wars. 

There is many people that have good criticism of post colonialism that doesn’t go in the direction of excusing certain practices.

I skimmed through the movie just to see if it was as bad as people say, and it seems pretty tame tbh. That one twerking/ dancing scene was the only one in the movie from what I could see, and the message wasn't a positive one. It wasn't one of those "this is where the entire team comes together to win the championship" uplifting type scenes.

That being said, Netflix should definitely forward the details over to the FBI for users who watch that scene more than once

Trump needed a non traditional candidate to paint into a corner to not make himself look so awful. He needed an extremist, or someone with decades of built-up negative media attention, and he got neither. Instead he got his kryptonite, a "safe" old white guy who he can't portray as dangerous or extreme (successfully) because nobody buys that bullshit. But Trump will continue to try to use the narrative he would have against Bernie, and what he used against Hillary, and it will continue to fail. I can't wait for the next round of new media after the latest media buy pause that shows their "new" strategy of saying Biden is a tool of the left yet again. Outside of a Biden medical issue, I think this cake is baked

I doubt it’s gonna be 399. It’s the same internally as the disc version and a blu ray drive isn’t saving them $100. Cutting out brick and mortar gets maybe $20, and they get a third of that so that’s $6 more per sale of a 60 game. How many more games will they have to sell to just make back that $100? They have to explain why they are so far in the red to investors, and usually r&d cost is added to this fiscal year, too. That would be one seriously rough conference call and could lose them more investors. They aren’t trying to break even, they are trying to make money.

That’s quite an elaborate fantasy scenario you’ve created.

Sony: In addition to being standard industry practice, we feel we are in a good position to retain our lead in the console warz if we can get more systems in homes this holiday season. Selling the console at a loss will ensure profits throughout the lifespan of the system.

Sony's pricing is such a delightful little conversation topic for Era's self-appointed experts since it's basically a dice's throw on which camp you'll land in. While it's definitely true that a $100 price difference would be a decent loss for Sony that would require way more than the average number of game purchases on PSN to cover, at the same time it's also true that retailing two SKUs is pointless if the price difference is only $50. It's like a micro-console war of $50 vs. $100 inside another mini-war regarding the general pricing, when the only correct answer is who gives a shit.

Sony would lock up Europe for 399 Euro. A 100 Euro price difference won't do wonders for Xbox here.

I talked this over with someone, who went all 'BOM cost, SKU, Revenue' etc on me. And I said. Look, forget about the number wang, the math is simple.
For $200 - $300 million in less console hardware revenue they can lock-up the entire generation before it starts and that money can probably be recouped with the sales of Spider Man and the PS5 Stand.
Production costs will be lower within a year anyway. All the PlayStation team needs to do is convince the Sony board it is the better strategy in the long run.

They did the same thing with the PS4 (undercut MS by $100) so no reason not to do it now.
