Bad take. The competition is literally constantly shooting themselves in the foot by offering a worse service and doing nothing to make gaming better.

It’s not steams fault that companies like EA, Epic MS etc. are rotten to the core with their business practices and no one wants to use their storefronts.

GOG is the only one i might consider an alternative that isnt completely rotten.

Everyone is still using it. It sucks since i just want everyone to come on piefed/lemmy. I really have no idea what reddit has to do to make people switch. Its kinda like seeing a toxic relationship.

For who? Themselves? Are their lives so miserable they just want to see people suffer?

Yeah I hope that happens. But I’m pretty low on hope these days…

99% of the people won’t care and continue using it anyway. The other 1℅ isn’t nearly enough to keep any non AOSP OS alive.

I agree with the article. Why cater games towards a crowd that doesnt want the game. Just stop it. Fuck EA and fuck companies like Activision/blizzard for dumbing down RPGs so Normie’s might like them. You’re ruining the experience for people who want to an RPG and making it “tolerable” for people who dont. The end result will always be a mixed bag, a mixed bag of shit.

Just let them play call of duty or FIFA and let the people who enjoy RPGs play RPGs with good story and RPG elements. You’re not doing anyone a favor by making an unenjoyable mediocre bag of shit.

They’ll just block that too. Can’t have a full blown dictatorship without taking away any freedom people have. Better not have a negative opinion about it either.

Holy Fuck 1984 was a warning, not a fucking manual on how to do things.

Gee I totally didn’t see this coming and made a comment about it earlier. Oh wait I totally did.

The peoples republic of United Kingdom.

“The average European household now spends close to €700 (£600) a year on three or more VOD subscriptions. People pay more and get less.”

Lol, not me.

I hate how this community has become mostly politics lately. Its understandable since technology and politics are connected but still.

America in a few years when no one wants their goods anymore and every country outside the US ramped up production since US is the most unreliable partner ever.

I’m not impressed by Proton at all tbh. There are plenty of reasons to dislike them. Here is a nice article about it:

Disclaimer: always do your own research as well.

How the fuck can you be pro censorship/pro big brothet? What kind of idiot do you have to be? Do they just get bags of money to spout out this bullshit?

Does having a lot of money exempt you from this shit? I don’t get it. I can understand detestable people being pro things that make the poor poor and the rich rich. But this affect everyone both poor and rich. The only one benefiting from this are fascist dictators.

Yeah apparently that’s a crime nowadays.

The post itself is reasonable quality and informative so I find it upvote worthy. If a post is low quality or a shit post then I downvote.

To me the karma system is about quality. Not an “I agree/disagree” button.

For comments I only down vote obvious trolls, bigots/racism etc.

I mean, from a business/greed point of view I totally understand why they dont support this.

But then I remember I don’t give a shit about soulless mega corporations that only exist to please shareholders. And I don’t shed a tear for shitty business practices that shouldn’t be allowed in the first place. Like mandatory online for single player games and removing local play capability for every multiplayer game.

The thing is… What alternatives are there? Signal can’t be trusted (on the very same website there is an article about it). I’m not using closed source alternatives, Simplex is kinda shady too tbh and I’m not even sure I could get anyone to use it.

I don’t like Matrix/Element either but sadly its the best open source chat solution we have.

FairPhone can run Postmarket OS, eOS, iodeos, calyxos and lineageos.

Some have longer support than others. Also you can buy separate parts for their phones and they are modular.

Oh you were talking about social media. I was talking about music services.

Fair enough then. I agree there is no excuse to still use X

Doesnt calyxos also work on fairphone
