Donuts are not baked, they're fried.

I suppose this would land them in hot water, but there might be something else really clever?

That, or post-scarcity to finally happen, whichever cones first :).

I would be fine with adblock that fakes that I saw the ad without me having to wait for it to buffer.

I don't think this is a fair statement and rather it seems like you want just to put a label on the whole state to avoid having to research into why didn't California build more reservoirs; frankly, to me it makes you look like a troll.

"This should be the accepted answer."

Alternatively, embrace the prototype-based programming and just... don't add classes.

seriously? lua shell won't even evaluate bare expressions

Thanks, not half bad! And only a tad bigger. If not for the shorter battery life I'd consider switching.

I never understood it why it has to be so hard to find a reasonably speced smartphone that fits comfortably in your pocket

I'd say naturals are abstract enough :)

There are many reasons for moving into saas space:

You move into cloud and now your client doesn't have to maintain additional servers, they probably get support too. This becomes a trap because if they decide they don't like your service... now you hold their data too and since it's in your service you control how locked-in with you they've become and how difficult it's to replace you.

Now you charge in subscription, you get monies all the time! If your clients are individuals you can now have all manner of stoppers and dark patterns to keep them subscribed!

To me... greed, and then more greed are two main drivers for saas.

Be careful on that high horse up there, if you fall you'll break your neck.

Yes.

The problems you describe are real, and damage both the developers and the gamers and it seems like "the only winning move is not to play". I'd argue that if you don't buy the next hyped title nothing of value is lost.

Wait out the hype, if you want to play the big title. The world might be better of if you get it as discounted, second hand or pirated.
