  • Nah, Japan and Nintendo particularly has a big culture around physical ownership. That’s why they were so behind on an online store and why the current one is also bad - they don’t put an emphasis on it.

    Even the game key cards are novel - it’s technically a way to sell digital copies of games via physical hardware, which no other company has ever done (I don’t think there’s any other big companies that offer you seem digital copies at all actually) - at least, while servers are around. You can even let friends borrow them.



  • Actually even if somehow all environmental pollution stopped at once, assuming it stops before a runaway event too, it would still take a long time for some greenhouse gasses to not have an effect. And that’s not even getting into PFAS and adjacent chemicals and microplastics as macro plastics break down.

    So either way, should still expect things to get worse for a while even if somehow everyone actually banded together to make things better.

    PS: the math is pretty certain on some of this stuff too.

    So, I don’t know as much as you do, but I’m wondering; if it’s that bad, why did it ever get popular? It’s not like people who write/program/maintain/deploy Linux aren’t usually very knowledgeable. They’re usually experts and computer scientists. It seems to me, at least, if it’s that bad, it would have never been adopted so widely? Is Systemd pulling a Microsoft and bribing people or something?
