Some people thought the same about Amazon, providing them a huge marketplace to sell on... Then Amazon cloned the products which sold well and undercut to force those sellers out of business before hiking the prices back up again.

I often took the same approach back when buying a game was a financial consideration. But even though now 4/5 times I already know hat I'm buying and just pay, there are still the 1/5 times I'll pirate first as I'm really on the fence. Due to this I have a few games I ended up completing on pirate, but bought the game (and DLC if relevant) with 0 hours in my library because good work deserves recognition.
Otherwise we risk losing those good developers to other careers or into the AAA meat grinder.
For clarity I'm talking Indy titties here, I doubt I average much above 0.5/year AAA purchases anymore
Edit: actually I'll go one step further. If I pirate your game and hate it, then its delete and forget. If I buy your game and hate it that's a potential negative review, maybe even though me and that title we just a bad fit. This is why demos need to become ubiquitous again
I would have interpreted that as 'prolapse'
Good thing no one is expecting me to provide translations
It has been very good & stable over the last few years. I switched because kbuntus ancient kernel caused me issues so I needed something more current, and its worked ever since so I never looked elsewhere. Running Linux isn't a hobby for me, these are my work systems, so I don't hop without a push.
Edit: I've just rolled out fedora 40 and plasma 6 is running great
Been running KDE on fedora for the last 6 years after giving up on everything Ubuntu based back then. Haven't thought to look elsewhere since as its been just fine
Of my messages and contact numbers? Not doing that
But its easy to find, just click the 3 bars next to the connected device and select SMS messages. KDE connect requires the app installed on the device to pair
KDE connect made communicating with the couple people I know who still use SMS bearable
I do like that my countries tap water is perfectly drinkable/inflammable. I have no need for such fridges.
Hey they didn't specify which bit, we can aim much lower
I used to be into weed, so ended up having a bunch of stoner 'friends.' They're really shockingly obnoxious people in general (with exceptions of course) for a group who mostly claimed to be into peace etc. As long as they could be stoned 24/7 they were tolerable, but ask them to do anything and be sober... What a bunch of dicks
Its not just artists
I already run Linux for everything else. Its not an option for my CAD work unfortunately
Lol was pretty much my first thought.
