Yeah, def dread the day Gabe leaves the company.

Probably an unpopular opinion, but I'd rather have a wells regulated (whether externally or internally regulated) monopoly than a farcical competitive environment.

Looking at power companies, I grew up in a market that had a regulated monopoly. The power company had strictly enforced (by state government) regulations on how much it could charge for services, cost per kWh delivered, reserve components for maintenance, etc. They owned and ran the infrastructure so they served as a single point of contact to install solar. Life was simple.

I now live in a deregulated area. At least once per month, I have someone coming knocking on my door trying to get me to swap to their provider, my bill is an arcane mess (I still don't know how much I pay per kWh), and its be autocratic mess trying to get the solar/home batteries spun up for my house.

I think steam is doing great for an internally regulated company. I have my druthers (see everyone else's comments about not owning your games), but its way better than the streaming wars with Netflix and Disney Plus and such. We see how bad it could be, but it isn't. That's what I see "breaking up" Steams "monopoly" would become.

Exactly

Was not expecting an actually educational response to my meme of a comment, but boy is it delightful to receive.

Really appreciate the information!

that they used to consist of only the leg bits

Now I'm more confused. Are you saying they used to be, like, leg sleeves? Oh, and that's what you would need to tie them to your shirt.....man that's weird.....but I guess it'd be easier to weave 2 cylinders without the crotch bits.

Edited comment weird. My original comment just had the quote from the article where Trump said he didn't know that was a slur. I replaced that quote with the full original Trump quote, with the edit (but left the original middle piece from my original comment)

There's so much "wut" with this picture.

Why would you carry an Axe over the should opposite the hand you're holding it with?

What is up with his pants. Dude looks like the has two dicks.

(Edit) Full quote from rally:

Think of that: no death tax, no estate tax, no going to the banks and borrowing from, in some cases, a fine banker. And in some cases, Shylocks and bad people.

I hate to give the guy a pass, but to be fair, I wasn't aware that was a slur (or even a word). If anything, it sounds more like a homophobic term.

Edit: yeah, actually that's a hard one to right a pass on.

Maybe I'm just a newb, but it still looks like PNG is the goto to ensure lossless image storage.

Everything else on that list that is "better" does/can do lossy compression. I'm not sure how to force apps to use lossless compression, so to me, all those lossy-capable formats are a drawback.

Thanks for the heads up.

Saw it wasn't on F-Droid and was going to ask for source page (to get through Obtanium), but looks like they're allergic to android and derivates. Appreciate you pointing to references.

Holy no paragraph breaks batman!
