There is no evidence I have seen that Valve supports 3rd party market places, and like I said the steam user agreement explicitly forbids them. There is nothing illegal about their own market place because you are paid in steam wallet funds and steam wallet funds cannot be exchanged for real world money. This case is going to flop, valve will win this one.
Steam wallet funds expressly have no monetary value in the steam user agreement, and it explicitly states in the steam user agreement it’s against their tos to sell items off of their market. So they are covered. Second hand markets exist but it’s without valves support or consent, they aren’t breaking the law. A court can’t compel valve to restrict user freedom (trading digital items) because they don’t shut down websites that they have no ability to shut down.
I don’t think that’s how the law is written though. You can only get steam wallet funds for your skins, steam wallet funds explicitly have no cash value. The transaction at that point is done. A video game also has “real world value” you could just as easily say well I get steam wallet funds and than sell gifted games to other people. I don’t think your argument tracks with the law or steams user agreement.
They are brining up the good argument that this would essentially make baseball and pokemon cards gambling and illegal as well, I’m not a lawyer but with the way the law is written and from my understanding of it valve has a very good chance of getting this dismissed or wining in court. It would suddenly make many other things illegal if they loose.
In its motion to dismiss, Valve continued to heavily criticize the lawsuit. “Can parents purchase packs of baseball cards for their children?” it said. “Can families go to Chuck E. Cheese to play games of chance and exchange winning tickets for prizes? Can a child reach into a cereal box and grab a surprise toy? All these actions and more could lead to chargeable crimes under NYAG’s interpretation of gambling.”
I can assure you humanity seems dead set on destroying the environment no matter the means to get there.
And all our plants are old and unsafe as fuck compared to new modern designs. So building new ones would likely be even more safe
I mean, sorta, but also not really. A fungus tree with no leaves I suppose , although the drawing sorta makes it look leaf like

"However, the breakthrough reportedly came when he uploaded files from his old college computer into Claude.
Rather than simply guessing the password, Claude helped dig through the old files and identify an older wallet.dat file that appeared to predate the password change. The user also reportedly had an old mnemonic phrase, which helped unlock the wallet once the correct file was found."
“Not my job”
I will be shocked if that works forever. Maybe it’ll be five, maybe it’ll be ten years, but I bet they will kill that eventually.
Uh no, my mobile phone, its just hidden what SoC I have

“Your browser masked your graphics processor. Firefox and Safari have started returning generic strings — “Mozilla”, “Apple”, “or similar” — instead of the real renderer. The fact that yours did so tells us, with reasonable confidence, which browser you are running. The mask is also a fingerprint.”
I’m positive pc sales have slumped probably just as much, it’s getting really quite expensive to build or buy a pc again.
Likely nothing in this case since they aren’t going to be a full sponsor anymore. I believe real full sponsors can have some impact on the direction of feature development but that isn’t bad because it’s open source and adding features large companies want and will pay to have developed in open source tools isn’t bad.

You see, I would describe that as using LLMs improperly. Like I keep saying, they are a tool for developers to use. They should be used as an assistant, but at no point in time should the developer not understand the code and they should always review all the output. I know we have a major problem with many people using llms improperly, but I will say again they are an absolutely incredible tool when used properly.
There are scammer call centers in many countries throughout the world. So unless you want to start shutting off a lot of developing nations from the internet, that’s not a good solution.
It’s also not a good solution because there will always be a workaround.
Right, the real solution is not letting old people answer phone calls anymore, I guess, lol.
The acceleration of the popularization of darknets continues, it’s going to be a tough decade, but at the end of it, we’ll all be more private and secure. Learn about Tor, I2P, and anonymous internet alternatives!
