Thats not true there are systems that are non-market, non-capitalist, and non-statist.

They basic now includes ads…

I mean fuck them both at this point. I’m tired of AAA shitty games, and platform lockins.

Great a duoloply again. That’s what I want instead of independent game studios just making games and letting people play them on what ever platform they want.

They used to under 10, and sharable, now for me and 3 family members its 51 dollars…

If Microsoft could stop pushing for needless expense exclusivety you would have a stronger point. DX needs to die so gaming can move on, for example.

Only thing worse than free market capitalism is state sponsored. Decades of the fed flooding the big banks with capital to loan, taxes taken from everyone but the largest corps, and regulatory capture (see copy right for this topic), and we get corporations that demand difficult anti trust actions just to slow down.

Oh no, those judged seem touched. Maybe the need another sponsored yaht trip to clear their heads.

I hope Linux gaming can keep growing at a fast pace to combat the inevitable clash.

Right now? Bad. Other Big Tech would swoop in and tech their place and try and take their proprietary market share, but a lot of the open source work would be left to die on the vine, including Firefox. It would be a loss of paid talent in the FOSS world and a massive consolidation of big tech.

Good thing for FOSS, maybe. Non-profits suddenly not operating effectively for a few years is arguably worse for a lot of people that depend on them.

Do I want an OS that can offload to remote servers? I mean kinda actually, that’d be neat. Do I want another thing in my life to be a subscription I have no control on, absolutely not.

Does Creative Commons and the RAILS licenses not cover most of these models fairly? That is what I tend to see them under.

I will say openwrt is great for running on home routers. It’s more specialized for that purpose, being made to fit on the small flashes of some of them.

Wow that’s really cool! Seems like a great way to tinker around with some web dev stuff! Curious to see how this could fit into a greater development pipeline!

Stratum, Cumulus, Vyos, openwrt, and pfsense are all the most router focused options I can think of. You also have options of just using Network Manager (NM) to do static routes, and network bonding, and using FRRouting for more advanced routing options.

Personally, on the lower level stuff like network bonding and such, I prefer the NM over trying to do the same things on openwrt so far. Just hard to beat Redhat Docs on a lot of things that are more “enterprise” like. I haven’t had any reason to mess with the others, though. My research had Vyos as the more powerful option compared to pfsense, and some feature of cumulus like supporting Multichassis Link Aggregation Groups (MLAG) are really cool, and something I’d like to play with more.

The video conferencing on Matrix has been really good for me so far. FOSSDEM 2022 was hosted on it and that really sold me on Matrix as a solution tbh. The recorded talks played smooth, and the chats worked no issues, while the break rooms gave me that genuine “I’m actually at a conference” feel, because it was so easy to just join a room and talk with our cameras on and everything.

Teams has been mostly up and working for me, but we have “sorry teams wasn’t working” issues all the time, so that bar is low to me. Even more, matrix better fits larger organizations that frankly should be using the federated approach for a lot of things, and stop trying to have IT policies that fits hundreds of thousands of employees over large geospatial distances.

I really hope matrix/element takes more space in enterprise space. Sure Teams has some more features, but they suck tbh, so even i wanted to use their white board or “wiki” features, I don’t because I don’t want to wait a few minutes for a “wiki” to load, and no else does either!

I don’t get the medium critic either. If medium paid someone for their content, sure, they should have the right to host it even the writer now disagrees with them, but if they a platform and sharing some profits or no profits with the creator, pound sand, they absolutly get to hold their content hostage. They have every right to move their free work or stop sharing their free work where ever they feel like.

I think this attitude is so worth having. Like the world can be a better place, we’ve seen what a better world looks like in little pockets before people slowly come in and ruin it, but we can get it back.
