That's why companies shutting down online games need to be compelled to open-source or at least provide binaries for their servers.

I understand why most companies wouldn't do that, but they should be forced to open-source online games that get shut down or otherwise made non-functional.

I think the implications behind there being infinite time in the past are fun if you assume that the universe works like a stochastic state machine. It means that either every finite event that has happened and will happen has already happened an infinite number of times or the universe is infinitely large.

Preinstalled stores are limited to manufacturers and distributors and they suck, so nobody uses them. It's pretty easy for someone with a tiny bit of tech knowledge to do some research and find out how to enable the ability to download APKs from the internet, but sadly, that's not most people. Google doesn't have a monopoly because Play Store is good (it isn't), they have a monopoly because they're anticompetitive.

Google made the Play Store the primary (and only, for most people) way to install apps on Android.

That also happens to be exactly the kind of math error AI is notorious for making. I bet the article was written by AI and likely not even proofread by a human.

My experience has been that singleplayer and indie games work best, so that's not surprising!

Maybe I'm just really unlucky when it comes to liking games that don't work on Linux.

Sure, but it's not impossible to play any Blizzard games because the launcher login page is broken like it is on Linux. Blaming the game will only get you so far when so many games just don't work and devs don't care.

Not just the bandwidth, but RAM usage, energy consumption, and cache storage space. Ads cost us money.

I have high hopes for the future. It's just not quite there yet.

Microsoft did ruin Windows with Windows 8, then they made it even worse with Windows 10 and now they're making it even fucking worse with 11. Windows 7 was the golden age of Windows.
