it doesn't have to be about property, it can be about showing off that your officially one family now. And i think that's a valid reason for changing your last name (aka family name)

You can always opt to take on a double name, you can both take on your wife's name if you prefer that, or whatever. But just because a woman chooses to take her husband's name, doesn't mean that she's now his property. Your children also aren't your property just because they have your last name

Edit: And before someone brings up the fact that the historic reason is property: Things can change and people like to stick to certain traditions regardless of the history that the tradition carries.

Just because your last name is Smith doesn't mean that you need to become a blacksmith, even though that's where the name originates from

Exactly. And the unity engine is not the only product that unity makes. They have a full cloud platform with DevOps tools, Game Services like Matchmaking, Leaderboards, Ads, etc. and many more things.

Nonetheless, what the Godot Team + Community is creating as a FOSS product is absolutely amazing and i would say it's well on its way to becoming the Blender of game engines

TBF godot is open source and has over 2300 contributors on github. Still less than unity and most of those don't get paid for their work, but saying that there are only 10 developers is not true and not fair to all of the people contributing in their free time

off-peak is a way larger timeframe than peak. If all the people who travel at peak time were spread out there would be less peak times

philips hue (and many others) use zigbee, which means you could set up a self hosted instance of something like home assistant and get a zigbee adapter. That way you can control the zigbee lights with open source and self hosted software, and you also have the option of keeping everything entirely local if privacy is a concern
