While I use river as daily driver and am very happy with it, I feel people who like Hyprland will find river to be rather limited and barren in terms of looks and availability of plugins.
Does it support any DE other than Gnome? For the rest, looks cool!
Sadly, not officially (atm). I think you need to use a custom image and I don’t know how well those work.

Governance leaves a lot to be desired.
Genuine question from somebody who’s out of the loop and doesn’t use NixOS: How does this affect your day to day using the distro?
I’ve heard good things about VanillaOS. Not used it myself though.
With their package manager apx, you can use software from pretty much any distro in VanillaOS (copied from link above):
Apx is a tool that allows you to generate work environments based on any Linux distribution and seamlessly integrates them with the system in a convenient way …
You will also know nothing and be happy.
Ignorance is bliss after all

Given these trends, what might a post-piracy world entail?
Assuming you are right with this:
For media: Buy in or consume less. If piracy will really become less prevalent you don’t really have much choice, do you? I don’t think everyone has to live like I do, but my media consumption in the past few years has shrunk more and more (for various reasons) and maybe that’s something other people may gravitate towards as well. Life has a lot to offer beyond screens.
For software it’s trickier. Maybe you find an open source project that suits your needs or maybe there’s a competitor that hasn’t (yet) enshittified their product. Unfortunately, if you really need a specific piece of software I think you might just be SOL 🤷♂️
Just my two cents
Ooh, that makes sense. I’m not too familiar with key resellers, so I was just guessing. But you explanation makes more sense. Thank you
I guess pirates don’t result in additional costs for the developer from dealing with support tickets or other forms of customer care 🤷
You should technically be able to run the exe with proton (assuming, you’re talking about Windows games). Maybe Steam does some extra work like setting certain environment variables (see https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton#runtime-config-options for a list).
Or you could just run non-steam games through Steam
I’ve never worked on a larger C project, so I’m not the best judge, but I would recommend 21st Century C by Ben Klemens. It was very accessible and gave me a pretty good understanding of how the language worked and how to use modern versions of it.
For me personally, I only keep things I find worth rewatching, so about 50% I delete after. Same with e-books. Games I don’t really pirate (or only pirate them to see if I can run them on my computer). Usually I buy them on Steam and that’s good enough, even though sometimes you lose access to them. I tend to not go back to older games.
You’re not wrong but i don’t think this has anything to do with being free. If companies want to track you, they will (except for those whosr business model is privacy maybe). Regardless of how much you pay them.
Found this in the source code, lol
It was a cool movie with amazing scenes and it made A New Hope make more sense (explained why the death star had a design flaw.) But I found all the characters really forgettable and it just didn’t give me a satisfying emotional payoff.
All the main characters just died and I didn’t really care 🤷♂️
I can second the recommendation for Andor. Used to love Star Wars, lost all interest in it after the new trilogy (although rogue one was alright) and finally got around to watch Andor which I really loved.
I think with digital content platforms in general, competition means more headaches for customers.
The store front/streaming service is not what people sign up for, but the access to a certain movie, show or game. If the catalog of all available pieces of content gets scattered across multiple services you now have to use multiple apps, pay multiple subscription fees and search through multiple catalogs.
I’d say from a customer’s perspective, increased competition lead to a worse situation.
What you’re describing is basically the Dead Internet Theory.
I think Inkscape 1.4 doesn’t bring any fancy features, but rather makes what already works better. The inconspicous releases are just as important.
