You can always start sooner and dual boot on Linux Mint to get familiar test your usecases. I have been dual booting and haven't logged into Windows in over 6 months. Gaming is pretty good for many games on Linux.

I tried a long time ago on Mandrake or Mandriva, cannot remember. Didn't stick and eventually after trying to use Windows 10 on a HDD, Linux Mint welcomed me with open arms. Now duel booting on OpenSuse but haven't started Windows in 6 months. I just don't need it anymore. Thanks to the Wine and proton teams!

Time to form a specialised union with all the top names and secure your own terms.

Was this traded away to get concessions elsewhere and a deal over the line?

Google has been dreadful for a long time and do not care. They only need creators so they can milk the content and take the lion share of the revenue.

YouTube are pushing more and more adverts so people are more likely to pay them. Straight up manipulation.

I wouldn't pay for Youtube...

Where did the devs do that, or are you generalising?

Who's making excuses?

Do you want to give an example of where the developers banned or censored something? It sounds like you're generalising.

I see you're also posting from lemmy.world, despite the fact they defederated from Hexbear before it even federated. To be critical of censorship while using that instance is ironic. Either you stand against censorship, or you're just using it as an excuse to bash something you dislike. lemm.ee is far from tankie, but approached it in a manner more conducive to what you believe...

Or MineClone2 on Minetest if you like the digging aspect.

I thought their view was to stop selling ships when the game finally releases. Considering they announced that their Citizen ??? game's release was on the horizon, you'd think they'd pivot away from mugging whales off for ships, but I have a feeling this practice will never end in SC.

Welcome, and keep up the good work. Good to see you here.

Even if you don't like communists. Politics plays a big part in open source for many, and giving power to people and away from corporations. While we were all happy and content on reddit, those guys were grinding away to build something for people. It did not appear over night. To some extent it is what drives and motivates people. I understand you are not communist and don't agree with the philosophy, but it's worth at least respecting that it plays a part in how people operate and is a reason why they self-sacrifice the way they do.

I'm personally a socialist and don't agree with tankies support of certain countries administrations (past and present), but share a similar view of the world in wanting power in the hands of people, not corporations. I think we need to go further to respect other people's views, even if we do not agree with them. Shitting all over them (and the platform) based on their views while supporting the thing they build does feel somewhat disrespectful. It's the same as religion in some ways. You can fundamentally disagree with a religion while conducting yourself in a respectful manner when around those that differ from your views.

Imagine saying "I didn't want to use x because of the creators , but later realised the religious view didn't impose on my own, so I have given it another shot."

I think we need to get to a world where we can be respectful of people having different views even if we do not agree with them and would be quite happy to deconstruct it in debate.

I did not know that. He really is a manchild.
