Richard Head

I'm sorry, his name was what?

Fromsoft PC ports have always been notoriously bad, but it blows my mind that after 15 years, they still don't support something as important as custom keybinds.

"You can't put lipstick on a pig" was popular for about a year in the US, circa 2007

Good point, that's much more apt

It also adds clutter and noise to a public space, making it more irritating to scroll through comments. It's like someone having a private conversation on speaker phone while you're waiting in line at a Starbucks or whatever.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Stallman, is in fact, GNU/Stallman, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Stallman. Stallman is not a man unto himself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

I think in the end it all comes down to putting power back into the hands of regulators — power that corporate America has been slowly and steadily eroding for the last 40 years.

A more powerful regulatory state could start enforcing the anti-trust laws we already have on the books by breaking up the massive tech monopolies. Once that's done, new regulations and new legislation against anti-consumer practices are needed, but those will only work if the punishments scale high enough to work as an actual deterrent against the multi-billion dollar tech giants.

Of course, we'd also need massive, MASSIVE campaign finance and lobbying reforms so that monied interested aren't able to sabotage the system all over again.

Or we could just bring back the guillotine... that would probably do the trick too.

Sure, because he's been paid in stock options. It's not like the guy has been working for free.

Then why is he asking shareholders to approve a $56 billion personal pay package? Seems kinda steep for a guy who isn't really present...
