I don't think it will help with that, the war on pornography is only going to get worse.

Did you ever think that you hate Linux because that's what you have decided you are going to do, and not because you should and not because people are making you?

True, this is what I did years ago (although I'd been programming on and off since I was a teenager tbh). I'm not gonna eat the onion but the job market was a lot less competitive 10 years ago. I'm just fortunate because I became a senior developer around the time of COVID and I wasn't just starting out as an inexperienced dev.

That's what I'm wondering.

I haven't heard any reports of or seen any abuse for emulators like Xenia, RPCS3, Dolphin, Citra, etc. I wonder if this is something unique/specific to people finding out it's Stenzek, or if it's more widespread than we realize?

Personally, I do think non-permissive licenses aren't nice, and I do think there should be criticisms, skepticism, and concerns to be voiced about that. At the same time, if it's the owners project, he is free to do with it as he wishes. Then again, if something has a large enough of a community, you could argue that it's no longer just their project. But I understand that if you want to prevent people profiting off of your work (and your contributors work), a no-commercial license does make sense. It's a complex situation.

I think Harris has a good chance. People are fed up with the orange pumpkin man, as they should be.

As it should be. Rockstar Games deserves nothing less.

I won't be buying other Rockstar games if they do this with other Rockstar games, since it means I won't be able to play them since I use Linux and they don't want to use the checkmark to enable BattlEye on Linux/Proton.

What an incredible sentence.

LMAO you're not wrong tbh

Sure, but hopefully that's a very long time away, and there's always piracy. Hopefully Gabe lasts for another 20 years or longer. Hopefully he has a high-quality person as a successor.

I remember when 9 million was a lot.

I remember when 1 million was a lot.

Just because they are the cheapest option doesn't mean they aren't a monopoly. They clearly have the most inventory. One store having all of the inventory of everything and being the leader for selling products of any kind, is a pretty big problem.

If they can put others out of business (pretty sure they have put smaller stores out of business in the past), they can become an even bigger monopoly.
