Fuck yeah, love you Valve.
Love your contributions to Linux more though.
Gaben-kun will notice you
Ew. That's a corporation. Stop.
If a corporation does something good, it's OK to say, "Hey, good job. I love that!"
If a corporation does something legitimately shitty, it's definitely OK to criticize them mercilessly too (I do it all the time, would recommend).
What's not OK is trying to tell people what they can or can't praise/criticize.
You said "Fuck yeah, love you Valve." Loving a corporation is weird. Loving the actions is less-so.
Maybe you've have enough Internet for today but before you go, allow me to explain:
When someone says something like that, they don't literally mean it.
"I love tacos" does not actually mean that I have genuine feelings of love for them (even if they are delicious).
It's just a phrase.
Ah, so I guess I shouldn't take it as "Valve is a good actor" at all? That's just the wrong interpretation or something? Valve is not an actor. It cannot be a good one. For profit corporations are, by definition, not aiming for net positivity.
Tacos are not actors. No one says "I love tacos" because they witnessed tacos acting in a behavior they deemed 'good'. They say "I love tacos" because it gives them satisfaction when they eat them. No one says "I love Meta" in the same way people say "I love Tacos" because they think Facebook is a good actor for doing some open source stuff. No one says "I love Meta" because "I love Meta" is "just a phrase" as you put it. That makes no sense.
The echo chamber on this platform is spacious.
I dunno, even if it results in billions or even trillions of humans deaths, I'd rather corpo die than let one thrive. The best form of economics that is not only financially but morally sounds is that of anarchy
You probably should stop having your own opinions, you really suck at them.
You'd rather the entire human race be wiped out than a corporation do well?
