What is there to review? There’s an entire team with VAR who already decided that dismissal was proportional to the misconduct. That’s how it works.

And if you haven’t already realized it, FIFA only cares about money, so of course they did this, so the event is more “exciting” for the advertisers. It’s pure corruption.

Only nerds want idempotent build results, it’s so fun debugging slop…

You give them an inch, they’ll take a mile. There’s no real desire to make stuff efficient when people just accept it.

A different example is that if you said 15 years ago that all of your desktop programs would actually be running each in their own individual web browser, people would look at you like you’re crazy. Now it’s somehow normal.

Not surprised, he’s the kind of guy who blows his paycheck on several automatic boxes of fireworks and lights them all at once. “It’s going to be huge!” but you can’t see much and it’s over after a couple of minutes.

In what way would the EULA/contract be illegal/invalid? The US has a pretty broad freedom of contract. No one has forced you to buy that licensed computer program. You don’t need it to survive. You’re not discriminated against by not being allowed to buy the software instead of a license.

Understand I’m playing devil’s advocate here. I agree that such contracts are morally corrupt, but I’m not aware of anything that’d make them illegal. Only by being truthful regarding the current laws is how we can make change.

I agree, but that’s not how I’d imagine the courts would see it? If the EULA says that you don’t own the computer program, you’re just paying for a license to use it, then you’re not really “the owner of a copy of a computer program”…
