There’s so many places where strategically important resources have been delegated wholesale to the US. Now, concerning mankind, it’s theoretically better, of course, to not overdo it with wasteful redundancies.

Even if the situation wasn’t as abysmal as it is, the stock has been overvalued for many years now, basically riding on Elon’s charisma above all.

Well colour me intrigued - and also abysmally ignorant - I hadn’t followed them initially, because I was never interested in the Epic Store, but checking them out again just now, the project has just easily grown into something amazing and far beyond the initial scope!

I know, it’s still a single-digit percentage of the market share, but I wish GOG would finally give us an official GOG Galaxy version for Linux. Yes, I can integrate my GOG account with Lutris, which is fine, I guess, but steam manages to grab my fickle attention with their app easily, including tempting me to waste money on DRM-proteced game licenses where the games aren’t even owned by me 😞

So far, Valve hasn’t abused that, and they have been amazing for Linux gaming, but it does not feel great, knowing the fundamentals there are what they are.

Other than that, I still have a lot of gmail adresses, switching them will be a pain, since i will have to go through what I used them for. My main mail is with a German provider, though (posteo.de)

I am in the process of setting up my own suite of fediverse stuff to host, these days. Have been learning a lot by dealing with frustration these past days :D (I only had some basic experience self-hosting, itˋs been a learning journey)
