E.U is replacing their citizens with unvetted violent criminals. They have to vote for whoever gives them free stuff. The powers doing this are upset a company in the U.S allows their citizens to protest it.

Read that on X?

Repeal intellectual property law. No more patents. No more owning concepts inherent to physics.

2.4 million times the pressure of earths atmosphere but impressive if true.

Steam, like Origin, is one of the few that refuses to support 3rd party launchers due to DRM. epic and gog both work in heroic launcher. Steam games are no longer usable in systems less than 4GB memory.

Steam has removed all its 32-bit wine compatibility, minimal launcher, and is now no different than any other chromium bloatware. they chose the easiest path and are still struggling to make it work.

What exactly do you mean? 3rd party launcher like playnite and lutris work just fine with both of them. Steam DRM is also optional and enabled by the game developer.

The client can be pretty rough but no alternative offers even half of there features.

Steam DRM is not optional. Thats why launchers dont support it.

I think Ubisoft games would like a word. I can't finish AssCreed Brotherhood because the Ubisoft launcher wants me to use a 2FA key which I don't have any more.

It seems like it would be common sense to trust neither party to the conflict to arbitrate such markets. That’s why e.g. for presidential election, the criterion is usually a quorum of different news outlets and not either party running.

> do we trust the fascist regime of venezuala or the fascist president of the U.S?

FTFY

4GB of that taken by the system. more memory use with runtimes also means more cpu to track and free memory.

valve has continually had problems with their services. this is because theyre both reliant on other services they dont control, and low quality engineering management. the second leads to the first.

The CCP can hijack your accounts and absolutely do all of those things, using your own government.

could you provide an example of that happening?

AMD will eat their lunch, and are. If AMD can properly replace CUDA, rtx hdr, they could win the market.

Big tech are doing it on purpose with h1b’s and exportation of labor to capture the market in India and non-china asia. they are desperate and afraid.

The U.S has a national security interest in completely stopping all of it. They dont, because every administration is paid not to.

Regulate tech, ban labor export, ban labor import, protect your countries from the sellout.

I don't see why you're being downvoted. Aside from being a little inflammatory your premise is correct.

It's not a secret companies do not want to hire Americans. Americans are expensive, demand too many benefits like fair pay, healthcare, and vacations. They also are (mostly) at-will. H1B solves all these problem. When that doesn't work, there's 400 Infosys-likes available to export that labor cheaply. We have seen this with several industries, the last most prominent one being auto manufacture.

All that matters is that the next quarters earnings are more than the last. No one hates the American worker more than Americans. Other countries have far better worker protections than us.

I see no reason H1B couldn't be solved by having an high barrier to entry (500k one time fee) and maintenance (100k per year). Then, force them to be paid at the highest bracket in their field. If H1Bs are what it's proponents say - necessary for rare talent not found else where - then this fee should be pennies on the value they provide. I also see no reason we can't tax exported labor in a similarly extreme manner. If the labor truly can't be found in America the high price of the labor on tax and fee terms should be dwarfed by their added value.

If it is not the case that high fees and taxes on H1B and exported labor make sense then the only conclusion is the vast majority of H1Bs and exported labor are not "rare talent" and thus aren't necessary. They can come through the normal immigration routes and integrate into the workforce as a naturalized American.

What exactly are the normal immigration routes? Employment-based immigration (H1B) is the only avenue that makes sense for a skilled worker. And usually skilled immigrants are the ones a country wants to attract.

There’s dozens of visas one can apply for and many of them will fast track citizenship. Talent comes in on these all the time.

Those are just as normal as H1B and any other category.
