Because otherwise you'd be supporting the Chromium monopoly, and that's the biggest sin imaginable in the Fediverse.
This is why I primarily shop at GOG. There are almost no other storefronts left that promote DRM-free games.
I can understand defederating from Threads, but transitive defederation is bordering on insanity.
This will do nothing but exert peer pressure onto instances that wish to remain impartial. Transitive defederation will play right into Meta's hands by fragmenting the Fediverse further.
Your instance will still exist, and federation should continue as normal if you manage to reclaim the original domain.
If you have to switch to a new one, however, federation will be very awkward. Other instances will essentially treat you as a brand-new instance, and mirrors of old content will be "orphaned" and no longer sync.
Don't find yourself in a false sense of security.
Your games on Steam are just as ephemeral as any other digital content purchased online.
Man I feel bad for the developers at Microsoft who have to implement this shit
No, absolutely not.
For purely scientific articles Wikipedia is great. But anything remotely controversial or even political on that site should be taken with a grain of salt.
There's too many editors out there who enforce their biases and wage war on such articles.
Can you please stop editorializing titles?
I came here hoping to see gnome and X11 memes. You know, actual Linux memes.
Instead I found "Windows bad" circlejerking.
As a Linux user myself, it saddens me to see how much the Linux fandom is invalidating itself with its aggressive attitude.
You bring up valid points, but you are being very antagonistic towards server admins in the process. I get that you're frustrated by being dismissed all the time
For context, Steam is now forced to display this due to a new law passed in California: https://www.theverge.com/2024/9/26/24254922/california-digital-purchase-disclosure-law-ab-2426
Valve is not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts.
