It'd be nice if we can have some kind of standard for torrents so we don't have a bunch of duplicates on our system.

For something like games, it just doesn't make sense to have the torrent and the install. It takes up so much space.

Portable installs are always best.

True, but there's a lot of stuff in the free software ecosystem that is just jank.

I expect things not to work at this point and don't get surprised when they don't. It's part of how we pour way more resources into abusive technologies over ethical ones. We can continue to be part of the problem (like a useful idiot), or pick our heads up and work towards the solution.

Yes, but middle users are the most important.

I'm glad I avoided the spotify bug ever since I saw it.

I have negative respect for mods at this point.

I've seen too much unchecked mod abuse to ever take their decisions seriously again.

This should be avoided like the plague because of the choice to use MIT over GPL.

Any work dedicated to this can and will be stolen by corporations without giving back if they find it useful. This is what happened with Sony and Apple and their respective operating systems. They chose to base them on BSD so they could steal work and not give back to the public.

Do not be fooled.

It would be great if more effort was put into ensuring a seamless upgrade experience.

There's literally no point. I already use my phone for phone things, not as a second computer.
