You know what they say, no honor among thieves.

Sadly that could actually happen at some point.

That CEO has no room to talk about gaming being unaffordable and the industry ignoring the signs, when it's that very industry that made it unaffordable to begin with.

You can't claim ignorance of a problem you and your industry directly caused, Asha. You're as complicit in this as the industry you're saying is ignoring warning signs.

That's like if I broke a stick in half in front of a bunch of people, and then tried to say I didn't break that stick, when everyone saw me break that stick. Stupid analogy, I know, but that's basically what Asha is trying to pull here.

Altcha, for starters. Also, Anubis or go-away.

I like my 'breaking a stick' analogy better, but yeah, that too.

Google must've bought off those Member States.

Also, what if MS or the government starts getting hostile and taking down Linux and other FOSS repos they don't like?

Misskey/Sharkey seems like the best Fediverse Pinterest alternative that's active that I'm aware of.

Otherwise Pixelfed will sorta work, but it's meant mainly as an IG alternative.

They're teleprompters.

Can't say I'm surprised given how much Qualcomm has prioritized Windows over Linux support for years now.

Don't consider this a win, guys, this is more of an 'Oh shit, we're screwed if we follow through with this right now' moment, there's nothing stopping them from walking this back at a later, less turbulent date when no one's paying attention, and locking Android down anyways, as this directly reminds me of the situation which caused WEI to be scrapped.

Also, the EU pushing Chat Control through the back door might embolden Google to both try an Android lockdown just like was going to roll out before, and try WEI again, and get both actually pushed through somehow.

I wouldn't even be surprised if MS were emboldened to try to lock down PCs... Again....

They're bought and paid for by basically all the big industries just like the GOP.

Dude, I would flee the US in a heartbeat to somewhere that isn't a fascist state if I feasibly could, as I kinda don't feel safe here as a citizen, let alone what anyone visiting the country may feel like.

Man, the payment processors got bored with NSFW and they're attacking free software now?

No, Jensen, you got that backwards, GenAI itself is hurting society and has done a lot of damage, the active and well-deserved pushback against it ain't hurting anyone.

Your grift is what's killing the world, asshole.

How soon before government thin clients connected to a heavily-censored state intranet are the only devices people can legally get and own?

You mean the shortage that's purposefully engineered to price everyone out of the market and push them onto the cloud?

GIMP and Krita are aimed at Photoshop, while RawTherapee and Darktable are aimed at Lightroom, and Inkscape is aimed at Illustrator.
