Most people do.

In 2019, there were approximately 22.8 billion credit, debit, and prepaid cards in use worldwide. This number is expected to reach 29.31 billion by 2023. The number of general purpose and private label debit cards increased 3.8% to 6.28 billion between 2019 and 2020. In 2021, the overall credit card in circulation reached 64 million. According to a Forbes Advisor survey from February 2023, 54% of consumers use a physical or virtual debit card and 36% of consumers use a physical or virtual credit card.

And the vast majority of those not using them are not valuable as customers.

Because the rest of the world exists. Can you name a single technology that massively boosted productivity but was regulated at a global scale successfully? Do you think a country with low goods export is going to hamper it’s competitive advantage because some highly paid (yes American writers are highly paid compared globally) Hollywood writer says this is bad?

They have a term for this. Luddite.

👌

Sounds like the mtx is more like a little top hat for my dick too wear to the party.

Lol 👌, however your pretty little brain needs to twist it.

Guys stop this non-sense. That’s not how it works.

They hire less new developers. There will be less people doing the work. Idiots who don’t learn to use the tech will be left behind. This is already happening.

Lolol but then it wouldn’t be rage bait and they won’t see it at the top.

Oh right, cause the coders and lawyers are free 🤦‍♂️

Turns out the most expensive part of a business and one of those pesky facts on your trip to profitability is to shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars a years on supporting compliance. Who knew!!?!

LMAO imagine thinking you can fight this.

If a robot is going to take your job, stop bitching to courts and either learn to use the tech to improve or find a new job.

This shit is happening, you can’t put it back in the bottle, and you’ll just be replaced by someone living with less restrictive laws.

Countries that join in this absurd protectionism will fall behind economically.

Lololol there was/is endless bitching and cosmetic mtx in d3, I guess larian gets a pass here 🤷‍♂️

Oh this circle jerk!!! Where do I jump in to get my stroke on. Video game nerds are the absolute worst.

Wikipedia is run by a central NGO which is something I’ve advocated for. What we have now, and what folks are conversing about isn’t a sane model like you propose. People really believe this place isn’t going to have serious child porn, disinformation, and censorship issues without someone competent taking over the main policing and privacy concerns.

Laws + costs of a server. Cloudflare is 100% in talks warning lemmy.world they aren’t going to support them for free/$20/month.

I love how you dismiss the compliance as all you need. As if it isn’t a crazy topic that requires a lawyer every other day plus hiring a team and creating a process to deal with child porn shit.

None of you know half the reality of running successful digital services.

You are delusional and will be left behind if that is your view point. The code is usually largely accurate only needing a few tweaks. Easily one of the most powerful scaffolding and learning tool I’ve used in 25 years. Our developers embracing it are more efficient then ever and passing static analysis, owasp scans, coding standards just fine if not better than cranky old devs who think they couldn’t possibly be helped by a dumb machine.

I have been laughed at and down voted every single fucking time I point out how woefully unprepared every fucking instance is.

The free model is flawed and will be unsuccessful every fucking time there is any signs popular server. And users aren’t going to tolerate moving fucking servers every month.

You think cloudflare is going to keep on protecting lemmy.world each week on their free/professional their? Enterprise starts at 20k a year before traffic, good luck raising that kind of yearly money on a hobby server.

And then there is GDPR and CCPA all of which are ignored and clearly not being enforced just waiting for a lawsuit.

Oh and I do I need to explain to you people the child porn reporting mechanisms that need to be in place?

The only way if this bullshit is successful it’s if someone starts a no profit e.g Mozilla foundation and acts like a functioning adult running a business vs a 16 year old tinkering with Linux.

Bring on the down votes and compium.

Have you tried being less poor?
