Pretty sure most windows users hate their OS right back.

I’d argue most of us are older but not too old to remember what the internet was as well.
Other platforms with ads haven’t really seen people move off those platforms. I feel like once it reaches that critical mass of being nearly ubiquitous it takes a massive problem to push people off of it. Look at SMS in the US and how it’s refused to die compared to other markets because it has reached saturation and now the only challenge to that ubiquity is iMessage who basically lives off being a fake SMS service.
That’s capitalism for you. They’re not interested in making things better, they’re interested in making more profit.
Unless it’s good to break the law.
The law is not good or bad, it’s just the law
Not only does the salary go down in small towns but the number of positions are greatly reduced. All it takes is a layoff and that “cheaper” small town could be too expensive because there are no more positions to fill.
It’s weird that 60 years ago Gary would not be considered a small city. Went to shit real fast.
Nah those are the wizards who use light to carve the rocks. To think it needs software, otherwise it’s like a dead person on life support with no brain activity, there’s no thinking happening.
Just say you do it through god and you’re good
The country can be huge but most people live in urban areas now, it’s not like they’ve gotta waste time and money running fiber all over north dakota. We’re talking cities with populations that rival some countries.
So you teach rocks to use lightning to think
Boomer doesn’t have to be literal boomers but old, like it is a joke in the WoW community to call it a boomer game because most of the people playing it (especially classic) are 30+ years old.
In the same way, people will talk about boomers in politics but Obama was the last baby boomer in the presidency.
How has it been anal about Linux? Are we talking Galaxy? The launcher is pretty butt and it’s better to just download the games directly and then they can be run with proton because of the lack of DRM.
Generally Steam does a lot more, especially for linux but GoG is the only store offering DRM free as the default.
It’s one thing to regulate foreign corporations and you don’t see me making a case against the EU for regulating Apple or Google. You see me saying this isn’t about data collection like they say, it’s about preserving US power in the software space. The US is completely within it’s rights to block TikTok but you don’t need to lie to me and say it’s for security. The servers are located in the US, there’s no real evidence China has done anything illegal and if Google did the same thing and sold the data to China it would be fine. This whole issue is a bunch of individuals sucking on billionaire tech giant toes.
There’s other things but mostly the lack of DRM.
I appreciate you beating the dead horse, especially with all the sources.
I don’t use TikTok and I don’t think anyone really should but if we’re going to ban TikTok for data collection then there are a lot of platforms that need to be banned. We know the 2016 election was fucked with through Facebook and not a damn thing has been done
A bigger cut for developers would be nice if mostly any gaming studio actually did profit sharing. I’m not going to be riled up and motivated for some capitalists to get a fat fucking bonus while using a shittier platform. But billionaire Sweeny is all for claiming it’s all for the little guy while not giving a shit if his own employees stack up 60hr work weeks.
While I agree that not chasing further hardware demands is refreshing, it’s also really frustrating to buy a nearly decade old tablet to play games. Many smart phones could run switch games at this point and seeing PCs emulate the switch better than the switch can run natively is exceptionally frustrating.
