I think they'd receive more flak for regarding the game in it's current state. As it is, they're giving you exactly what they say they are: a still in development game. People who are still buying into the game do it knowing the game is still in development.

I'm an early backer of the game. I got suckered into a ship upgrade during a "sale" within a year of backing the game. I'm not upset about that. But I think people who got suckered into spending hundreds of dollars on ships early on have more legitimate complaints than folks buying in right now. Early on, it wasn't known how it was going to go down. There was a lot of hype. But now, you know what you're getting.

And yes, I fully understand that backing games is risky, and we shouldn't pre-order games. I've changed a lot in my buying habits in 10 years.

I think the legacy of the game will entirely depend on how it turns out. If they end up releasing a game that people love, all will be forgiven.

Streets ahead

Man, I'm all for paying people for the time and effort they put into software. But what's the point of Zorin OS? Doesn't seem better than other Linux-based OSs.

Stop consuming AI slop.

That was one of the things that drove me away from Windows. Coming to my desk in the morning to see my computer on not sleeping because it woke up to apply updates or some other shit pissed me off.

Just one of the many ways that with Windows, my computer didn't feel like I was in control of it anymore.

With Linux, I'm in complete control and it feels so good. Also knowing that I'm not giving out data just by using my computer is great. And FOSS is just cool.

It clearly wasn't a difficult choice for Ole Kegseth.

To be fair, dysphoria is a disorder, but it can be treated by changing your gender and being accepted as that gender. It's just that they hate the treatment.

I remember sitting in the hall during school as a second grader taking to a friend. I said, "I wonder if you farted in a balloon if it would float." A teacher overheard me and scolded me about it, for some reason.

Unfortunately, it would send a message to folks who do things like storm government buildings and kill cops. I wouldn't want one of those deranged lunatics coming after me.

That's the goal, though. If people start doing this, the value of used Teslas will crater. That will kill sales of new ones. Why buy a new one when you can get a used one dirt cheap? Why buy a new one if you know it will lose all of its value because the used market died?

Because it's in the public's interest.

I agree. HDD to SSD was a huge leap. NVME was a small, sometimes noticable upgrade. Past that, I can't tell a difference. And it's hard to get excited about the hardware updates when the software can't use it.
