On my way to sue you for daring to type out the trademark "Nintendo" without proper authorization.

Sure and I agree. That's why I mention that I'm bummed out about not being able to attend big venue concerts any more. But I know why they're doing it and I understand the cost.

As far as I can se, every person who understand what this means is angry about it. But once one accepts that the vast majority of people are NPC's, not willing to sacrificy even such a meaningless thing as entertainment... This is what we get.

In fairness with the warped society we have, entertainment has become a value in it self, way more valuable than building a better world for ourselves and those who comes after. A consumer society to the max.

I've tried warning, I've offered alternatives, I've talked about the cost - But instead of people attending no-app-required baseball matches and build a new industry they begrudginly use the app, complain about signing away their privacy and just keep on eroding the world.

What are we to do but try to save ourselves?

Yep. It's all about what you value the most - Your personal privacy and integrity or watching specific people slap a ball with a stick.

Even if you buy five tablets, won't you still have only three desktops?

They're waiting until enough work is put in to actually upset people, just as a warning to other potential criminals thinking of doing anything similar.

You party animal, I went to bed as soon as socially acceptable.

Sure, that's why I self-host or use trusted services from people I actually know for EVERYTHING I can, not just the stuff that's too awful to accept. I can't be bothered with being disappointed and jump ships yet again.
