An incredible game. If you are keen on trying a modern take on it, Songs of Conquest is an about to be released spiritual successor which is very enjoyable.
Walled garden platforms doing what walled garden platforms do I suppose…
Better late than never I guess?
Yeh. The Librem was a classic example of overpromise and underdeliver. Borderline scamware by Purism. Will never go near them again.
Wayland is not ready yet. I’ll wait till its done before jumping over.
This is a great chart, well done
I presume mint will eventually overtake ubuntu as it’s just a most stable, user friendly, and sensible build.
Exactly. Steam figured this out early on and it’s how they have maintained their dominance in the game distribution business. It’s the same lessons the entertainment streaming platforms must learn - your value is convenience. Add more walls between consumers and content? you will be cast aside.
My theory is that it’s just the fact that there is always a new generation of people around the corner who haven’t learned the lesson of how capitalists work. Therefore, there is always a market vulnerable to being swindled. They can keep using the same tactics, there’s always a delay in people figuring out the grift, then by the time they do there’s a new group of suckers ready to fall for it.
It’s taken longer than I expected, but more and more people are realising streaming services as a model are not good, by any measure.
They cost more in the long run, you are made powerless as a consumer (perpetually increasing costs and removing your favourite content), and you can’t even get ‘everything at the convenience of your fingertips’ cause the market is fragmented and they remove things periodically. You own nothing and pay more. Absolutely stupid model that deserves to die.
If the system can’t protect itself from being overwhelmed by the cancer of corporate interests, then it’s never going to survive. New wave internet needs to learn from the downfalls of its predecessor. The design must have protections built in to prevent capitalists from capitalising, or else it will inevitably fall.
Oh, there it is! You’d think they would put it under security and privacy settings.
Why bother with making any apps these days when you can just build a web app and have it work across platforms.
Hilarious. I thought njalla got shutdown a few months back. Looks like they are back up and running. Any story on what happened?
This exactly. This is the audience for proton mail, and their success while sticking to this model is hope for us all
Great idea! The iphone keyboard is horrible. Have always missed having tactile keyboard from blackberry days. Im in.
Tell me about it, it’s way to cold for chrissy! 30 - 35 degree chrissy with some beach and bbq are the best.
Related to the recent reddit mobile site update that straight up breaks the website perhaps? (Cant scroll, can’t interact)
Capitalism strikes again. This is why we can’t have nice things, capitalists keep fucking them up.
