After much careful reflection on this news, here is my response: HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I think I could have written this headline 6 years ago.

Help! Our unsustainable behavior of screwing over customers in the name of quarterly profits has finally caught up to us! Turns out there are long term consequences of our behavior, and now Linux can truly go toe-to-toe with Windows on a home desktop!

I was the biggest fan of Spotify as soon as they started up. I was one of the first people to get early access and was a huge supporter for years.

Buy your music, own your files, never subscribe for something you can buy instead. You’re not listening to 12 new albums a year, if you can subscribe, you can pay for the files that will be yours forever. The fact that Spotify has higher quality streaming doesn’t change anything.

I’m not retiring until my house is paid off and I can include at least 1 large vacation a year into my budget. Those two things will probably happen simultaneously, but I’ve never heard of anyone paying off their mortgage by 30 in my life.

My suspicion is that Steam intentionally does this to ensure you’re compatible with all their old 32-bit games.

Amazing, let’s not forget that not a single AI company is profitable, and it’s very possible that AI won’t get substantially better than this. They’re just shoveling billions of dollars into this thing as “the cost of doing business”, and they probably won’t see a real ROI from it.

I think I’ve spent more time waiting for Silksong in the past week than ever before.

But they’re a tech company, they don’t transport anything?

Their website has a question at the bottom “Are you still interested in Pebble?” And if you click yes, it’ll show you their new models, but there’s also a button for No, which takes you to Google’s latest smart watch. The “we’re not a big tech msgacorp” vibes are strong with this one.
