I did notice the sluggishness as well. but I didn’t mind much

Ah, okay. Yes, I can understand that now

Why condolences?

I don’t feel like I’m addicted to it I just play Aram a few times a week - and I have a plentiful life outside of LoL

Yeah, I’m using both all the time. Funny that you mention the teams Problems. My camera 9nly works ok Linux Teams but not on Windows 😂

I’m already using libre office all the time - but aside from gaming I heard that office is the only reason to still use windows. But I just need any document editor - not ms office - so that’s a no brainer for me But for some people at work when MS documents are sent via email and edited - then sometim3s it just doesn’t cut it.

Wow, you nearly described the same experiences I had just recently - when I installed steam and a few games for the first time on Linux. And I was also like “Oh, what? It actually works!!”

I immediately shrunk my windows on dual boot and will likely uninstall it completely in near future. No need for bloated windows anymore

YOLO

It has been used so much recently that there is even a wikitionar entry for it - with a link to its original creation!

Even then. If steam actually locks out out of your games, then I bet hacked will quickly put more effort to sidestep the drm and make that more easily accessible.

One of the few companies I’ve purchased digital good from - and they haven’t enshittified themselves yet

thanks, I’ve actually known the video - but not the larger picture.

nevertheless, one of the most impressive and extraordinary and important clips in humanity

Wow. I had never seen the full image. thanks!

For the first and second point however, I’ve learned that whatever the others don’t know today, that’ll be my state of lack of knowledge in a few months or years. Anything that isn’t a one off script I generally document/comment because I’ve had some projects when I was young, and couldn’t work in them after a few months of break because I didn’t understand anything.

That’s when I understood, that “others” is just me in a few months.

And what do you do after three years? Then the cash will be used up.

Mozilla isn’t just developing the Firefox browser. Technology is inherently political - and educating people and influencing actors politically on the free and open web is very important. Firefox is much less likely to mis-align away from their browser users than chrome simply because they don’t have the misaligned incentives like the chrome Browser which is equally made by the largest internet advertising firm of the world.

They even has created FirefoxOS for phone at some point in the past 10 years. But I don’t remember what happened with that.

I’ve yet to see any single new law proposal, that actually tackles this problem rather than misusing it’s emotional trigger to get acceptance for surveillance and control

I mean… it’s also a step back - which kinda fits the entire fiasco well

I am exactly doubting your suggestion of tax paid donations. I don’t think this will happen, unless we actually come together and try to actually enforce this on the political level in various countries.

After all, open source software is an essential and critical foundation since many decades - but I’m not sure, whether there is any government that has made a pledge to donate a certain amount of money per year into the development and funding of such general purpose software. (Maybe I’m wrong though.)

Before the fediverse can get any public funding, we need to make some political efforts. the UN is the largest such institution - and it took all the fiasco with the 2 world war to get many countries pledge to donate to it every year…

A decentralised platform like the Fediverses won’t easily work with nation states and their taxes. Even with Wikipedia today, it’s not funded directly via any government - but rather by certain universities giving some money to it + all the private doners.

And even if we get that working, power politics will mess this up like so often when things actually get troublesome.

It might be interesting to explore cryptocurrencies as for donations here though. They do have international liquidity and they can’t be misused foe power politics.
