set -u is your friend. Unless you're running that command interactively, in which case it just exits the shell without giving any warning at all. Oh, the joys of shells written to be compatible with scripts created 20 years ago...

Root on fat32

I don't think that's even actually possible with modern distros. Symlinks are used everywhere and FAT has no concept of setuid.

For shareholders and investors, the worst thing that can happen to them right now is the stock going down and having to take a loss on it. It's bounded by however much money they put into it.

If investing in 10 shitty companies knowing that 1 would fail manages to be more profitable than investing in 20 companies that don't degrade the moral fabric of society, there's a perverse incentive to keep investing in companies creating Groks. Making shareholders financially liable for the debts of their investments would introduce an unpredictable risk that could help change the equation.

If you can't afford the time or money to defend yourself from a SLAPP lawsuit, the legality doesn't matter much anymore. It is unfortunately in most peoples best financial interests to not personally test the legality of unenforceable BS.

Nuance like acknowledging that while two things can be bad, one of them can still be worse than the other?

Not to presume, but you seem capable of self reflection and understanding how others may perceive your interactions. Neurodivergent or not, at that point, it's a choice to interact with others in a manner that leaves all parties more displeased than when they started.

Is that a genuine question that you want to know the answer for, or is it a setup for calling the person you replied to a hypocrit when they say "yes"?

Let me fix that for you,

Citizen 1: I can get behind that.

Capitalists: You shouldn't, that's communism! Think of all the money you have to waste when you get rich!

It's more like telling someone who's suicidal that "it's your own fault you're unhappy" and then telling them "it wouldn't kill you to smile for once".

I can't wait to see how The Satanic Temple turns this one back around on the people pushing it.

It's just another case of him having a hate boner for Valve. Years ago, he asked Valve to do something via email and Valve ghosted him while doing the exact opposite.

His behavior and attitute towards Valve, in my opinion, is consistent with somebody who has hurt feelings and a grudge. There are actually legitimate things to criticize Valve over, but him having a go at the things that benefit consumers instead of devs just makes him look like a giant anti-consume douche.

or buy it used

I'm not sure how you plan on doing that with the "physical edition" being a digital download code in a box. And, that's probably the point—to drive more sales by eliminating the used game market.
