Leather can last for many decades if treated well. Vegan leather aka plastic lasts a few years tops.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
I have lost like two dozen DRM free games because the hard drive they were archived on died. There are also some DVDs filled with DRM free games, that are somewhere in my closet. I don’t even have a DVD drive anymore.
When Steam started getting popular, I resisted it for years. Instead getting DRM free Indie games and lots of Humble Bundles. At some point there was one game I could get on Steam, so I started using it.
My old Steam games are easy and fast to access, install, and play again. Far easier than rummaging through my own archive. I don’t need to configure or install Proton to play games on Linux either.
The lack of DRM on my older games hasn’t provided me any actual real life benefit. The fears pandered about by opponents of Steam haven’t materialized in more than a decade. If anything, the advantages of Steam have become more apparent.
- Comment on Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare 1 week ago:
I have used Macs for more than twenty years and have also played games on everyone of them. They run just fine.
If you buy a computer for gaming, Macs are not the best choice. However there are more great games that run well than you can ever play.

I distro hopped a bunch in March. Tried like eight distros, maybe more. I installed steam on all of these to see how it works.

In practice having a game on Steam is even superior to having a DRM free copy. My DRM free copies of games are on some old hard drive in a drawer. My steam library is right there. Removing and installing games is super straightforward.

Sensible regulation would target the network effect. That’s the barrier you identified. For example make it possible to use your Steam friends with GOG. Or have some kind of interoperability or standard.

The worse the military, the better the propaganda. Is a rule of thumb at least.
- Comment on Iran Propaganda is very entertaining to follow 2 weeks ago:
Propaganda is always important. This is to be shared among Americans to further weaken support of Trump’s war in Iran. They did a pretty good job with this.

Pyrovalerones like MDPV and alpha-PVP are even stronger and more euphoric stimulants than meth. McAffee loved that stuff.

I should have gone to the military, like I wanted to. When I finished school, I wanted to serve to learn discipline, order, and structure. My parents are both strict pacifists and had dragged me to peace protests from a young age. I didn’t want to break their heart, so an undisciplined civilian life it was. Still lacking discipline, order, and difficulty sleeping.

Why? Israel and Saudi Arabia get along pretty well. They are natural allies against Iran. The current war in Gaza is all that stands between Saudi Arabia entering the Abraham accords.
