Imagine justifying a second hand card market for DIGITAL GOODS. I'm sorry, I'm completely tired by this bullshit. If a multiplayer (and competitive) videogame does not have everything unlocked then it's just a scam and time s

It's funny how people on this website are always stupefied by the fact that the internet holds so much information and every time they search for something they always seem to find an answer somewhere, but when faced with a LLM trained

Richard Stallman was/is a grade A hacker and that's how the free software movement started as. So, which kind of individuals would now be best suited for leadership positions in the FSF? An MBA? A lawyer? FAANG project manager?

The author has correctly and rationally identified the problem. He knows exactly why and how his students behave this way, and yet he still takes it very personally. I'm glad he has at least found an explanation, but it would really he
