Simple, effective, doesn’t make my home folder any more of a mess than I already left it as.

Given the historical record on attempts at Mercosur-EU trade deals, this is likely to fail yet again, since the EU’s agricultural voting bloc (mostly in France and Italy) doesn’t really want the market to be populated by cheaper products from abroad (at least not any more than it already is). But at this point, given the several ongoing food crises that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine caused, the chances for a successful agreement are about as high as they can go, so they might as well go for it.

Isn’t the entire point of the Rome Statute that the country accepts the court’s jurisdiction involving international crimes and crimes against humanity as higher than that of any national court? I’m not an expert, but I imagine this defeats the point of signing the statute in the first place.

Lula’s always been pretty good with calling out other people’s bullshit around Latin America, it isn’t particularly surprising that he’d do that (and the same applies to Biden). Shame that he doesn’t have the courage to do the same with Russia though, even if that’s more because Russia has held Brazil’s agricultural market by the balls for a while now.

I wouldn’t say that’s particularly surprising. Most people in Lemmy and similar platforms have been here since the mass exodus from Reddit, or are programmers themselves. These groups are usually more privacy-minded, and see this as a significant privacy issue. This doesn’t really necessarily mean it’s an echo chamber though, I’ve seen a lot of people talk about how they use and like Windows, and I think the reason why they downvoted your comment (making an assumption here, I don’t see downvotes in my instance) is because it seems to be completely unprompted by anything or anyone, and a bit abrasive.

What does that have to do with echo chambers, exactly?

Why are you blamimg the developer team? It seems like management would be more to blame, given most of the time, they are the ones that overpromise on stuff like this, then work the developers to the bone until they inevitably fail to deliver on the absurd expectations set by their higher-ups. I’m not entirely familiar with the details for this case, but I know Take-Two are the exact kind of company that pulls this idiotic stunt with every dev team they have under their belt, as has been shown time and time again with so many games they publish.

Edit: Having done a bit of due dilligence, it seems that Intercept Games was created as a part of Private Division after they were bought out by Take-Two, which in my opinion just reinforces the perspective that the dev team had little to no say in how the game was marketed or released.

It’s almost like other people exist, and almost like they’re affected in a different way than you are by who is in charge of the government. Seriously though, I thought “it doesn’t affect me, so it must not be a problem” wasn’t supposed to be an actual argument.
