Communism is when you own nothing lol
No no, they have proprietary methods of aggregating install data so they will know.
Thanks. I’ll take a few and leave a few: …,
Depending on how long the backlash can stick around, I would expect to see it go down with a large exodus. In particular, if Microsoft gets upset about the impact it could have to gamepass. Unity does seem to be backtracking, but it really feels like they overextended on purpose to make the actual result feel less shitty
Yeah, I did read it. Doesn’t mean he didn’t know that there would be backlash
You think they just suddenly came up with this model? No shit they have to jump through hoops. That doesn’t stop them from doing it in advance of something like this

Yes, windows is heavier. Yes, it will use more power and resources. It’s not intended to conserve resources and run on every system known to humankind. We all know this. How it is a surprise to anyone is beyond me
This has been argued over for a long time now. They routinely fight against orders from foreign governments (foreign to Switzerland). When one case comes along and the Swiss government actually says they need the information, and the courts say Proton has to abide, they finally do. This somehow negates every other time the government has come knocking and been told to fuck off? They tried, the courts said they had to do it, so they did. If they didn’t, the service would be gone now.
Let’s go bowling!
They use it to call you up on the weekends to see if you want to come hang out.
Hey wait! That’s capitalism!
