Do you think they'll still be making the batteries for an 8 year old car then? Ideally you'd be able to swap a newer battery that is better in some way in then, and maybe even have it a litt…

Is there a comparison anywhere between this, Briar, Session and (P2P-)Matrix? I love that there's so much innovation in this space recently, but also really hope that any of them can really break…

One thing about Manyverse and ssb that scared me off after a while is that all of the content you view gets downloaded on your device / phone, and then subsequently passed on to others. So if you…

Weren't they profitable when they were charging 1€ a year per user before? I wouldn't mind going back to that.

Does anyone know how efficient / cheaply they can use their servers? I'm guessing the chat part of the service save for file / image hosting is probably pretty cheap, but the low latenc…

For subscriptions they can just change the price at a whim, stop offering your the service whenever they want or change it in a way that you don't want to. When you own / own the license to …

This is wild. Wonder if it'll be more of a thing for one-off marketing pushes or whether it'll actually cultivate returning customer bases for the specific products?

If this gets through and implemented, it's probably gonna affect Google a lot, but I wonder whether they'll also go after Apple with their App Store and the whole Spotify situation, since I …

Hey, it seems like this was clarified to not be work towards anti-cheat after all, and seems to have been a misunderstanding. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments&#…

Or: Jump through the hoops to get it, and then over the next year use that $200 to pay people on fiverr to complain about it online periodically FOR you. Think of the time savings!

I've seen this sentiment a lot in the Apex Legends community, and without any data to back this up, I think in some cases this is true. Live Service games' primary interest is to keep you pl…

Ah, fair. Though to a certain degree I still think that's helpful when I recently listened to something but forgot to download it. I agree though that that shouldn't take up all of your sto…
