Regulatory capture seems about on par for Google these days. I suppose I'll be switching back to OnePlus for Android devices; that'll be about it for Google stuff in my home.

We went from a time where you had to rebuild your fucking kernel to get your graphics card to work and fucking around with Wine to get to a point where you nearly throw your PC out the window until you can get a little app to run to simply running apt install nvidia-driver-xxx and clicking on a button to make a Windows game run in Linux.

I have fond memories of getting World of Warcraft working on Linux back in ~2008 only to realize it had an OpenGL mode that ran better than the DirectX mode I was trying - and failing - to get working.

You aren't wrong about kernel and driver shenanigans.

Right, so anyone adopting such a "buy for a month and binge watch" strategy can still pay ~75% more and not receive a ~75% increase in value.

Nothing is changed.

Don't care what the legal definition is

When we're just casually disregarding pesky things like definitions, how can you actually expect any form of genuine conversation to take place? You're playing pretend from the start.

Oh, her being adversarial with progressives was pretty well-known. Not the legacy I'd want.

I'm looking forward to Amazon's upcoming light slap on the wrist and increased lobbying efforts.

If only we had a not the onion community... this would be perfect.

We've known how to meaningfully address this for ages - with the side benefit of actually improving lives - and neither party is willing to pursue it as it lies outside partisan wedge-driving around various bans.

On the other hand, when wage growth continually fails to even come close to inflation, the rah rah economy gaslighting falls a bit flat.

I wonder if they realize the extent to which this disincentivizes upgrades to any newer form of Unity - and the newer license - even outside the rest of the recent drama.

It would take amazing changes to even consider giving this up - and at that point, it's a hop and a skip to a platform shift.
