Have you ever been in a lift and noticed the locked panels? Those are meant for fire fighters. You can (legally) get a hold of a key on ebay and make the lift do a backflip if you really wanted to.

I’ve had a lot of painful relationships so i understand. It takes time, especially if you get burnt. It’s still good to find someone nice who will eventually become your one.

Does putting Ubuntu remove all that…?
I mean, you entirely replace the OS, so i would assume so. I know that GraphineOS is entirely independant of Google, but it’s still Android.

There’s a lot of options. Volla phone, fn(x), fur something. You can use a google pixel 3a to put ubuntu onto. I’ve found that most of those phone have mid specs, unless you’re really wishing to dish out.

since 2016, valve has been paying for wine development. They didn’t just nab it.
Also, calling proton a wrapper is a bit ingenuous. Proton is basically wine with upstream patches that wine will not accept. It’s not a wrapper for wine and related software.

I don’t think blizzard gets as much hate as it should but I think the reason is simple. :/
i want you to consider that fact that blizzard is a 30 billion dollar company meanwhile nintendo is closer to a 2.5 trillion dollar company. There’s going to be a lot more eyes at nintendo than blizzard which will bring more hate to it specifically :/
- Comment on Please choose one 1 month ago:
you’re right about other companies being worse, but that doesn’t make it ok for nintendo to do what it’s doing. They 100% deserve the hate that they get, which was my point really.

It’s not that they want money, Nintendo is mainly anticonsumerist, but they’re also a terrible, evil company. Here’s a couple examples why i think so off the top of my head:
- Locked down hardware. Well, at least they try to lock it down as much as possible.
- Insane prices for hardware and games. (50 quid for base Animal Crossing fucked me off when I realised that the DLC costs 50 quid fucking more, i returned my Switch).
- Shitty customer service (look up joy con drift)
- Lawsuits left and right:
- DMCA to strike down FOSS emulators because they included a 16 byte decryption key that’s literally public knowledge at this point. Funnily enough, they use a similar FOSS emulator in their own products.
- Sued the small company that owns Pal World because they included some of their “patents”. We all know that’s bullshit.
- Sued a journalist for writing for a blog about piracy and fucked his life despite him having no involvement in any of the development. (he was forced to take a deal to avoid them making things worse.)
- Sued a guy who did in fact enable piracy. That’s fair. Taking 30% of his income for the rest of his life is fucking evil.
- Fucked over streamers playing the game on release day because they were in an earlier timezome than japan…
- Fucked over creators playing their games with an emulator.
- Fucked over creators on all platforms in general for literally no reason.
- Took down many MANY fan projects because they could.
- They got mad at event organisers and pulled out last minute because the organisers used a mod to allow internet multiplayer, which caused the official Smash tourney to be cancelled during covid…
meanwhile Valve:
- makes the hardware as open as possible:
- also literally wrote proton
- also feel free to use any input device to play games
- also your game console is a fully functional computer you can do whatever the fuck you want with.
- also, your screen broke? Here, let me help you fix it.
- charges reasonable amounts:
- 30% from the developer is industry standard
- has frequent sales
- orange box costs like a quid on sale and the lastest halflife costs about 20 on sale.
- you can “return” games if you don’t like them.
- first class customer service.
- got a guy arrested for hacking and leaking their source code, which is fair.
- allows and enourages modding.
- massive supporter and contributor of tournaments of their games
- allows the use of their IPs in transformative ways (3rd party games, sfm, etc).
but yeah. They’re clealy the same thing. no differences whatsoever.

They fit GTA V on a single disk on launch. Sure, textures were blocky and effects looked like piss but you could play the entire game offline.

In the same way that someone replaced all rainbow flags with confederate battle flags in Spiderman, someone’s gonna mod the game to change the character’s texture, then racists will also be happy (unless the game is shitty idk).
