I guess they meant “pennies per game sale”, in which case 30% could be quite a generous cut. But, of course, buyers can download the game many times, and forever, so it’s really hard to measure what’s a fair cut.

To me, it’s not a monopoly because Steam doesn’t require exclusivity, and there are other stores (including physical a stores).

This was mostly the image I still had in my memories after a third of a century!

Again, thank you everybody.

Thanks! It was Madō King Granzört!

I’m genuinely wondering if there is any specific game where you noticed that the Linux version was worse than the Windows version on Proton, and how you verified that the Windows version wasn’t just as bad.

NewPipe, Tubular, FreeTube, Grayjay, …

I’ll never watch ads; that’s an unbreakable rule. If at some point third-party apps can no longer serve video, then I won’t watch it (and I’ll be finally liberated from their monopoly).

Not something for general users but, for organisations and public figures, having a platform with only verified entities is valuable.

For general users: Mastodon and the Fediverse.

Is this right? Out of curiosity, how do these sites flag themselves as content for adults?

Obviously, this is the solution. Sites that do this correctly, and software that detects the metadata. Parents are the ones that need to choose the correct software and enable the correct settings.

Sites that do not set the correct metadata are legible to be banned by authorities.

I think it is clear that it’s just a matter of time that a faster, more secure, free and open source operating system will win over a worse alternative.
