They probably won’t GPL it, since that’ll make the fork even less appealing to companies.

So far Corsair hasn’t let me down. I’m sure someday they will, but everything I’ve gotten from them has been good quality, but maybe it’s gone down hill since I haven’t had to get any parts in the last few years.

Every time they make blocking ads harder, more people give up and live with it than those who leave or find a way around it. As much as I wish that wasn’t the case, it unfortunately is.

You aren’t Red Hat’s target customer. Their target is a large corporation that not only wants to pay for official support, but often needs to thanks to regulations or the like.

I mean, I feel like a mildly talented 9th grader is around as good as my writing ever got, so I think it’s understandable that’s about as good as you’re likely to see for awhile from AI generated text.

Y’all play games with friends? My irl friends only really like FPSs, and since that’s not my jam we don’t really play together. And most of the people I know online are more into single player games until I found them in an mmo (but even then we tend to only play that one together).

You can always put your phone down. I also get the pressure to return a text/dm right away, but as far as I can tell no one that I actually want to talk to expects that immediate response.

I can’t help but feel like a lot of the “the internet was better back in the day” is rose colored glasses. Things were just as fragmented, but were even less welcoming to our groups, there was more questionable content that people were trying to trick you into viewing. It definitely wasn’t all bad, but it feels like it’s coming from the same impulse as every other “things were better back in my day.”

You can kind of do something like this already. You are able to host a small instance of your preferred fediverse software and create an account on it. I don’t know if I really like the approach or not, but it’s something I’ve thought about recently.
