Most of the support staff is their customers and users actually.

It's not users that process refund request, recover your account if e.g. you've lost your 2FA method, or any of the other innumerable things you might need to contact Steam support for. I don't think it's unreasonable to include the staff that do this as part of their workforce.

This number doesn't seem to include support staff who iirc are contract workers so might not count as "employees".

If our politicians are already bought and sold to the point that calling for these industries to be regulated is pointless, then why would politicians listen to our calls for 'open weights by default'.

If we don't have the power to stop generative AI, then what makes you think we have the power the change copyright law? Generative AI uses up huge amount of power and water to the point of causing issues for national infrastructure. There is a clear climate case to be made against generative AI and unlike copyright law the public actually care about climate change.

Why wouldn't you use Afghanistan, the county America actually occupied for 20 years, here?

What's the flag south of the Confederate one? I can't find it on here.

I'm from the UK and I was definitely taught to use the genderless he in formal writing, I remember my teacher commenting on how sexist it was.

Also, no idea where you got the idea that the singular they is only a hundred years old, Oxford puts the earliest use of it to the fifteenth century.
