$20/year for Nintendo Switch Online. That's $20 more than it should be, but at least it's not nearly as expensive as the other consoles.

No. I don't trust another corporate-owned platform, and I don't trust the way they pay lip service to federation while still making everything dependent on one central server they control.
This is a totally unsatisfying answer, but your only actual recourse, if you want to keep using steam, is to reach out to them and express your displeasure at their updated TOS and its implications.
Valve's TOS hasn't actually changed. The new law just requires them to more clearly disclose that a license is not ownership, but that was always the case.
Aside from live service games that are dependent on the devs' servers, and anything that uses more intrusive DRM (note that while Steamworks DRM is a thing, quite a lot of games don't use it anymore and ones that do are very easily cracked), they can't actually take the bits off my computer.
DRM-free games are still considered a license too, at least as far as the law is concerned. Even physical games are. But I'm not worried about anything that can't be enforced.
Physical whenever possible. I don't trust Nintendo's DRM.
BlueSky has money. We don't.
People are going from one corporate-controlled social media platform to another corporate-controlled social media platform. You and I both know that's the problem, but to the average user, they're going to go to whatever has a large corporation spending a lot of money to tell them that their platform is the next big thing.
The problem is that Apple has become increasingly hostile towards developers, I've heard plenty of horror stories from devs in recent years. Refusing to support Vulkan is an especially boneheaded decision, expecting anyone to support Metal is just creating unnecessary friction.
BlueSky has the one thing Fedi doesn't: a large advertising budget. Hate to say it, but we have lost.
I don't support pirating anything that is readily accessible. I've never touched Yuzu or Ryujinx.
But I also think it's important that these projects are developed sooner rather than later, before the things we want preserved disappear. Later is too late. Some Switch titles already have been delisted, but we've saved them thanks to these efforts.
Well he can't string two sentences together if he never finishes the first one.
Is "don't suffer major depression" supposed to be useful advice?
