But for the games without DRM you can just download them and run the executable. Bypassing Steam

Sure, if you stop using steam you can't re-download or update the game, but if the game didn't have DRM, you can just keep copying the existing executable

To be fair, that's also like, all information

At least personally I don't really see how the threadiverse is more toxic than reddit. Though it may be because my instance is simply good at blocking the toxicity away, and the instance their chose isn't. Which could be something to work on I suppose, but moderation is always a big discussion in these situations, with some people not liking moderation but also, in reality, wanting it

As for niche content, that, unfortunately, is just a catch 22 situation. No simple solution other than to simply get more people to join

People who do that truly don't actually want an alternative, huh?

They just want Reddit under new management

In EU new installments using refrigerants with GWP of over 150 will be straight up banned next year, at least for home usage

Because if a company gives up profits to be nice, another company will swoop in and get inherently rewarded by doing the profitable thing instead

Modern refrigerants don't use R134

I question whether we are rapidly approaching the point where Linux is simply easier to use in a safe, secure, and practical way for the average user, because it doesn't try to actively fuck you over like Microsoft does

It's easier when you don't need to jump through hoops to make a local account. It's easier when you don't need to turn off a dozen settings you might not know about regarding data collection or advertisements. It's easier when you don't have an antagonistic system that treats you like the product, not a user, not pushing you towards confusing things you don't want

Everything is, or will be, available in torrents. Once it's spread, we are all Anna's archive

You can't kill a decentralized entity. What matters is just getting the information out there by any way possible, and thus it will stay out there

Didn't china also implement a curfew on gaming for minors

I'd you're talking about cloud computing for gaming specifically (as you can of course use cloud computing for, well, everything), then maybe it's not good enough in the US, I don't know enough about that area to say, but networking is definitively more than sufficient in Europe.

At least, assuming there is a future, they will be vindicated. Future generations will greatly appreciate finding archives such as this.
