This should be the top comment.
GTA, Red Dead, Metal Gear, and Souls-like games hold no interest for me. I just find them boring and can’t sustain playing them. At no point would I ever call them overrated because they were not for me.
The co-founder publicly stated he made the donation on social media. What made him obliged to disclose this? He seems rather proud of it, in fact.
As a result, people feel they may have a moral obligation to not funnel money to him. Your stance also doesn;t really line up with your examples like
Or say your customer base for any reason is in large part Vegan, should you tell your employee’s to stop buying meat? Should they stop taking money from the non-vegan customers? How is anyone going to navigate this?
You don’t mention the specific problem you have with this, which would be mandated disclosure. By your own words, this is perfectly fine since people can chose the reasons “Anything, including having no reason at all, obviously.” to not do business with someone so I’m not sure why it’s a slippery slope to you.
Are you contending unless otherwise specified, people should be mandated to continue spending money with companies?
I’m allowed to do business or not do business with any company for any reason I like. Cofounder funding a political party with one of their goals being to brutalize immigrants? No thanks. Contractor wearing a company shirt was rude to me on the elevator? I’ll check the competition. Maybe I just don’t like the color of their logo?
I’m allowed to define my morals and what I would consider violating those morals would be with monetary support and no half baked slippery slope argument is going to change that.
What exactly is the allowed reasons for doing or not doing business with people?
Is this immutable like it has been? I’m wondering if the BC250 tweaks need some work before they work properly if so.
I already have a full n gaming PC, but I also played a bit over the last month and built a Steam Machine for under $400 using an AMD BC-250 crypto mining card. From bc-250.info: A cut-down PlayStation 5 APU with 6 Zen 2 cores and 24 RDNA2 compute units, sharing 16GB of fast GDDR6 memory.
It takes some tweaking and it’s not top of the line, but it’s a fun project that can play most games. There is also a script that can let you unlock disabled compute units to increase performance assuming they are not damaged.
I transitioned to a custom domain backed by iCloud some years ago but just kind of let the Gmail sit around because it a) functioned as a decent catch all for garbage and b) I was just too lazy to move over some less important accounts to the new email.
This is a good reminder to migrate the last of it over and let the gmail account atrophy.
“Cornell will stay on as executive chairman.”
In other words, he will run the board that the next CEO answers to. This is failing upwards
Stop trying to solve every problem you come across, especially if your help wasn’t asked for. Most of the time when someone is expressing a problem they are just looking for a sympathetic ear.
My neighbors were pulled from their homes and disappeared while others were summarily executed in the street.
My heart bleeds for this person.
