Dits already bad enough we have corps that are trying to get us to buy the same stuff over and over T_T
VThose both sound like cons to consumer's rights
©They are, but it's the non-consumers that control stuff like that...
D@©TriMoon™ to your point though, to look at it from your perspective, it could be beneficial to even the playing field for pvp games
VI get that... But why be excited for a future like that?
Dbut that's where i draw the line, no point in playing on the cloud for single player games
©Not excited, im just sharing what i think will happen...
Dyou're not wrong, they're definitely trying to get us to go in that direction
VA future like this doesn't sound like it has much room for Linux on home PCs either
©That is not related.... Becaus you should be able to choose the OS you want to boot into, by communicating with your ISP and contract
Dits all good though, you will be able to pick up razer rgb 360fps gaming PCs at the antique store in about 10 years time for a good deal
DLOL dystopian...
VTruly dystopian
©Don't understand that word...
V"I envision a future where you need a billion dollar company's permission to use an operating system"
Dutopia = paradise, dystopia = what you just described
©Ohhh but that already is the case with Micro$@$
©ahh ok
Dits all good though, everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but imo, despite trends, there will always be a niche for hardware hackers i think, even after the singularity drops
Dripper docs to be a thing irl
Dbazzite will be running on my brain-computer interface 
©Well ofcourse, ppl with enough know-how, will always find ways to boot their own OS using a local server...
Jmy brain waiting to boot because the nvidia drivers have to recompile
©As much as i also don't like the future i just described, im positive that is where the industry is heading towards...
Jthere is an xkcd about this
J
2078: He announces that he's finally making the jump from screen+irssi to tmux+weechat.
©Anyhow it's up to us as consumers, to see where their road is heading and making sure that road stays open for consumer choices...
Jno
Dimagine nintendo coming after you like arasaka at the beginning of cyberpunk 2077 corpo start
"your access to our retro collection, including but not limited to NES/SNES/N64/GC, has been terminated" sparks fly out of my head

Jthe market decides no matter what we consumers do
Dit's coming together: https://github.com/cchulo/conductor almost done with the add_shortcut_command, by the end it will have better functionality than steamtinkerlaunch's addnonsteamgame functionality

Dmore importantly in python, i tried editing sonic2kks code, and i just can't read the crazy bash he wrote for it...
Dand its like, everything is in a single file, i need copilot to like read it for me
©lol
©It's what the respective dev feels most comfortable with to code in, the actual language can be anything...
Di wouldn't ship a complete product in pure bash
©You wouldn't others would... it doesn't really matter...
It's personal preference, just like coffee vs tea...
But if final size is a criteria, then languages that directly compile into CPU code are the way...

Dyes, a CPU does not care what language you wrote something in, but a language is for a human to interface with the machine, not the machine itself, its why compilers were invented
Dif i cannot understand code after sitting there for a couple of hours, especially if its a single file, its bad cod
©yup and also why higher-level languages exist...
AThere's very few applications you need to use a compiled language for
AUsing bash is fine for something like steam tinker tool if you want to blow your brains out
Dyea these days an interpreter or a JIT is what gets the job done
ABut it's perfectly usable for that application
AReminder that bash is one of the first programming languages and is still alive today
Dyes, but maintainability though.. T_T
ABut that's not your problem that's his problem lmao
©Maintainability is just a matter of coding style...
Dwell it became my problem when i encountered bugs, and then he couldn't fix them
