About half of Bandcamp employees have been laid off

I'm pretty sure they Epic bought Bandcamp for their battle with Apple and then did literally nothing with it.

What makes you not want to use Linux anymore and maybe move back to Windows, MacOS, or TempleOS?
Reply in thread
TempleOS (wikipedia) is a meme os. It's supposed to be god's os and was singlehandedly coded by the late Terry Davis. So this post isn't really marketing, and the reference is just supposed to be humorous.

Where'd the music go?
Use soulseek instead. Nicotine+ is a pretty good soulseek client.

How hard is it to build an open source alternative to Duolinguo?
Duolingo is pretty bad at teaching you a language so I don't think we really need to make an open source alternative. If you want to actually learn a language, just use anki (anki is open source) for flashcards and get a textbook. I say anki because it uses a spaced repetition system which is the only way to effectively study more than 100 flashcards and there are browser plugins that allow you to create new flashcards from a couple clicks on a new word. Once you get far enough you won't have to use the textbook and will be able to just sentence mine for words and have to google the occasional grammar point.

Is anyone else like 10 times more likely to play a game they pirated versus one they bought?
No, for me its the opposite, when I buy a game I'm more likely to actually play it because I want to get my money's worth of enjoyment, while with a pirated game, there isn't a need to play the game, even if I do have fun with it.

Worse than that, on the psp if you play japanese games that are not localised to english, the circle becomes the okay button, but in the rest of the os, the x is the okay button so you have to mentally switch.

Nintendo has sued a guy so hard he needs to pay nintendo for the rest of his life. I think this is not really on the level of crimes against humanity as the other companies on the meme, and the meme is actually edited to replace a millitary company with nintendo.
I've never heard of nintendo doing millitary stuff. Everything I see online says that nintendo's main business until the 70s was printing hanafuda cards. Its pretty easy to find out about ibm's involvement in the holocaust though.

Its funny because a lot of people do this even though its completely unhelpful in solving their problem.

local_vars = {}
exec(code, {}, local_vars)
return local_vars["out"]

This is why its generally better to only write new code in more memory safe langs instead of rewriting everything

What is being done to make Flatpaks better integrate into the system
The org.foo.bar thing is done so that multiple packages with the same name can coexist. It's a design choice, not something that gets fixed. It would be nice to be able to type in the name of the package and it looks for the package like in flatpak remove and install though.
