Steam is a good service compared to the alternatives, but corpos will always be corpos
This. I was telling friends back when Google's motto was "Don't be evil" because the rule is never trust a corporation.

I was at the early end of when programming was being pushed thing. Found a welding degree was an option.
Get a welding degree, welders will never go out. The 08 slump happened, and suddenly I was coming out of school requiring 2 years of work experience to get a job, but couldn't get an entry level job because I was too experienced when the local factory moved to Mexico.

Having come from Arkansas moving to Missouri.
Yup.
So I found a honey cheese at Aldi that when you slice it with apple... gah... I want to find that stuff again.
Cosmic Crisp actually! Fuji's seemed to have lost the tartness I love but the cosmics have REALLY taken over that spot.
One of the very rare moments of AI being used completely for good.
