Their headline, and the summary above, actually say 0.8%. so either they updated their headline or there was some kind of error when posting it here.

Ah gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks.

I don't know how relevant FDIC is to the 1%; it only covers 250k, and only in things like checking and savings accounts and CDs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal_Deposit_Insurance_Corporation

Most of the 1% wealth is probably tied up in things like stocks and real estate, or maybe they diversify all over the place.

My understanding is that intention is not uncommonly litigated; I believe the question of "intent to deceive" is central to trademark law, for example. That's also what the the "degrees" of murder etc are about.

Disclaimer: I'm not a lawyer. I do read an awful lot of contacts and talk to lawyers.

As always, there is a relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/345/

I've found the $5 a month tier to be just about right. There have been a few months I've gone over, but they make that super easy to deal with: they just change the subscription renewal date and you start your next month a few days early.

It's a reference to your username

That's a great point, thanks for adding it!

Because I'm not really that invested. The Steam launch will have the effect of making me check it out, so I guess that will at least work as intended.

I was really excited about this game when I first heard about it, right up until I learned it was Ubisoft. Their involvement makes me pretty dubious, so I'll wait and see how hard they crank the monetization handle, and also what the reviews look like.

Yup, my Lemur has completely lost one hinge; I've actually got the case duct taped together at this point. Their customer support was really bad when i contacted them about it; they tried to get me to agree to charges before they even told me what they were charging me for: it took me days of escalation to get the answer that they were going to ship me a part but had no instructions or videos for installation and didn't recommend end users do it. I'm actually looking at Framework now instead; I'm pretty done with System 76 at this point.
