@binkle @coolboymew I'm pretty sure this will lead to the biggest exodus to Linux yet. It won't be a majority but it will be a significant number. I know a lot of people (namely PC gamers) who hate cloud-computing but still use Windows. This could be their breaking point.

Of course, Microsoft could force hardware manufacturers to only allow Windows on their computers, but we can always point them to companies like System76.

@Tony @PurpCat The Fedi started out with mostly FOSS enthusiasts, libertarian-learning people, and even some socialists (non-idpol types). Then Mastodon tried to brand it as it's own and called it "Twitter without the Nazis". Then, Gab refugees and later Poast brought the "far-right/third-position" culture on here (though there were a few even before then).

The fedi doesn't really have a set in stone culture. You have racist anons talking about the JQ, people who like to shitpost and post porn, tech-enthusiasts, and even people who are otherwise normies, but just hate big-tech. It's just the whole blocking culture (even the racists anons will block people they disagree with) keeps everyone fragmented and stuck inside their own little bubble.

@Tony @PurpCat Another thing to keep in mind is that when Gab federated with ActivityPub, a lot of people ended up jumping ship to other instances like FSE because they realized how much of a better experience it was on there. The same could be said with Meta. And before you screech "muh normies" just remember that a lot of us on here used to be one of them before getting into things like the FOSS movement, GamerGate, or what have you.

@Tony @PurpCat We just need the vast majority of instances not to comply with any rules that Meta enforces while also encouraging anyone who is interested in the Fedi to use any instance other than Meta's. Meta will either be forced to drop their shitty demands or drop their instance all together.

Changed destroyed vehicle sprites from "charred" to wrecked cars like what the original Spy Hunter had. It just looks better since they are usually destroyed by bullets and not explosions.

@icedquinn These so called "ethical software" and "anti-capitalist" licenses are worse than proprietary EULAs. They only exist to serve some shitty political/social agenda.
