Canadian technology? So they politely asked for the private key then

Hmm, perhaps. But…recurring revenue sure is easier than…whatever you said.

Yes but then how do they get that sweet sweet recurring revenue

Has it gotten worse? They’ve been dogshit for a long time, maybe they’ve gotten worse and I haven’t noticed

But they literally HAVE a fiduciary obligation. I agree with you that people use that as an excuse for heinous shit, but in this case they had a formal, legally binding offer. Musk was in breach of contract and they sued for specific performance or damages. Musk didn’t want to pay the damages. If they didn’t sue, Twitter would forfeit I think $1bn in damages and their stock would tank. Not suing would open the door for hostile investors to come in, pretend to buy, back out when they wanted to and time the stock movements. I get what you’re saying, but this is a case where if the board didn’t sue then Twitters shareholders pay for it.

You and I may agree that they never should have been in that place to begin with but that’s definitionally a fiduciary obligation

Ok? But that’s not what the Twitter board claimed. I agree with your premise but that isn’t what happened here.

No, I don’t think that’s true. Twitters board had to sue for specific performance because Musk backed out of a formal offer in the late stages for fabricated reasons. It’s not like it was “sue musk or go to jail” but their job as board members comes with a fiduciary obligation, and musk was paying 38% over the share price. Twitter is FAR from blameless but sueing musk isn’t a failing https://corpgov.law.harvard.edu/2022/07/14/twitter-vs-musk-the-complaint/

Not that they are blameless - far from it - but they had a fiduciary responsibility to pursue the deal because it was good for their shareholders

THE hacker news?

They sell the cheating tool and the detection software

Sure till they copystrike their own subs

Everyone knows after any commercial success the best thing you can do is rebrand by announcing the death of the successful product \s

Your username is not the best ever. Why are you lying?

You must starve for your ethics obviously \s

Yeah I don’t trust the good will of corporations, even the ones I personally like

Yeah GOG is a better ownership model. Steam is not ownership

I mean I hate to say it but if steam closed up shop tomorrow your games are gone too. You buy a license, not a copy, from steam

Yes and there are definitely people who use excel for art. Just like there are people who use GitHub for its releases page. It’s just not the primary use of either program.

A huge chunk of GitHub users? Citation needed. Sounds like what you mean is you and your communities use it that way.

I mean I did try. They didn’t really listen, just repeated the same thing over and over again.
