Definitely interested in trying this one out. Haven't dove into the FOSS games category yet

The person you're replying to was just making a comment that alludes to the fact that people who like this genre get addicted to other games. It was a light-hearted comment and you're the one who got negative first. People asked you to elaborate on your negativity and you got defensive. Now you're doubling down on that defensiveness. I get it. I've been there. But come on, man. I think everyone's got the same interests in mind here.

That's a good point. I guess I just read the title and everyone else's comments saying stuff like "Python" and "TypeScript"

Kinda surprised that no one has mentioned sign language. I feel that it's use cases expand outside the original intent, especially if other people in your circle understand it.

Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and "terrorism". People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They'll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.

Hadn't heard of that one. Looks nice! Do you know if there is a built-in way (even if it's through a plugin) to sync your content across devices? I didn't see anything on their homepage about it.

Definitely feel ya there. I highly recommend Obsidian or Joplin. Not sure what features you're looking for, but I've found Obsidian refreshingly simple. Aso nice knowing that it's just markdown files on my device that can't be sold as data.

I believe it's even more bleak than that. My theory/prediction:

Once these companies manage to make game streaming a reality, my guess is that they will scale back their consumer GPU divisions without hesitation. The goal is for us to ultimately own nothing. Software is already leased to us (you don't technically own the games in your steam or epic library). The end game is for hardware to be that way as well.Until then, we're going to see most people priced out of consumer hardware.

If game streaming services become a reality (I'm talking about a situation where latency and data transfer are less of an issue), they will be positioned as a revolution in entertainment that deliver high-end gaming performance to the masses. As the technology matures, we will see multiple services take hold. It will be like Netflix/Hulu/prime/peacock/etc. but Blizzard/Steam/Epic/Ubisoft/etc. Essentially we will have to pay the equivalent of a new PC/Console price tag every year to rent hardware.

Ironically, what holds this back in today's world is the greed and shitty infrastructure that's offered by US ISPs.

I think this is a pretty obtuse take. Users obviously want their mouse to remain functional when the battery dies. It's not a wireless vs wired mouse debate.

Yep, anyone who is celebrating this is shortsighted and letting their own nationalistic ideas and jingoism cloud their judgement.

Out of curiosity, what will you be switching to?
