This initiative sure would make things more complicated for the game publishers, yes.

Because they're currently not doing the bare minimum.

If they weren't so accustomed to not doing the bare minimum, maybe they would have different opinions! Just saying.

Edit: Just signed the petition. Didn't think this was necessary before because, as soon as I heard of it, Finland was already top of the list percentage wise. But I did sign it, just for the hell yeah of it.

"No HTML club" is kinda going too far on the Web. If you go there you might as well start a No HTTP Club and serve stuff over Gopher and FTP.

But we definitely need an HTML 2.0 Club.

"systemd is the worst implementation of init, except all those other inits that have been tried from time to time" -Churchill, if he had been a nerd

Ripped all of the discs using a softmodded Wii. Used a few homebrew apps, CleanRip (disc dumping), GCMM (for GameCube memory cards) and I think there was another tool for backing up the Wii NAND (could have been just part of bootmii/homebrew channel)

Conservatives keep saying they're for the common people.

Are they? Are they really? Seems to me they're really busy doing stuff that regular folks hate.

I didn't even know Patreon had a mobile app. To me, Patreon is just one of those Big Adult Things you have to do on a computer. Seems to work just fine on mobile browser (Firefox for Android) though. Apple being mega greedy as usual.

Insert random copypasta about biotech breakthrough that turns water and CO2 and nutrients into sustainable building materials which sounds like space age technology but it's just trees

I'm an amateur writer. One of the worldbuilding things I wanted to explore for my fantasy/steampunk word was the fact that the life of vampires who originate from commoner class must really suck, pun very much intended. You'd end up as a "high functioning" undead who gets even the few rights you previously had stripped from you. Fertile ground for social commentary.

So in this setting there's an autonomous vampire state that's essentially communist. In other nations, vampires are, if not persecuted outright, at least constantly struggling for recognition, and are exploited as night shift workers in the emerging industry.

I wish I could find the urban fantasy story that inspired me to explore this. It was also based on the "hey, not all vampires live glorious lifestyles" premise. I think this was in some Humble Bundle.

I'm already alone, and I'm just fine this way, thank you.

Fortunately I don't live in Douchebaglandia.

Yeah, when you're a technology enthusiast, it's easy to forget that your average user doesn't have a home server - perhaps they just have a NAS or two.

(Kidding aside, I wish more people had NAS boxes. It's pretty disheartening to help someone find old media and they show a giant box of USB sticks and hard drives. In a good day. I do have a USB floppy drive and a DVD drive just in case.)

Some day, some day, I'll be able to afford a 16-bit computer! I hear it's the latest thing!

You can tell this is an ancient meme because you somehow expect "non-full-time job" position to be worthwhile in any shape or form. If it's not a full-time position, my personal belief is that either 1) they're probably going to screw you over somehow, or 2) the government regulations are going to screw you over. (I'm in Finland. The government's going to screw you over if you do anything besides staring at the phone and accept the first full-time position that miraculously comes your way. In recent years, they invented a new activity: SPAM JOB APPLICATIONS. This has not worked as well the government thinks it did.)
