Godspeed! And may the the bbq sauce life raft carry you safely across these treacherous waters.

I'm wheezing at the amount of existential dread in your question about BBQ sauces. Sorry man, life may be shitty right now but at least you've got a good sense of humor.

You said there are NO trackers and I see 146 tracking attempts. It doesn't matter how much data they collect, what you said is not right. Even the dev said that trackers are disabled when you get the ad free version which implies that trackers do exist otherwise. I have no horse in this race but it's hard to have a discussion when people use such definitive and inaccurate statements.

Good for you. It' nice to have different options! I prefer to play at home so I'd rather have my games on the big TV.

I'm running my emulators just fine in dev mode.

Thank you so much! That would be awesome. I can only offer you an invite for Tildes in return.

How did you get an invite? I'd love to join but the waiting list seems really long right now.

But how would you define the point at which our material needs are met? It feels like it's an intrinsic desire for humans to gain an advantage over other people. Or at least we want the illusion of being able to gain an advantage through either hard work or gaming the system. For me it seems like capitalism lies in our nature and it requires a complete change of our societal values to move to a different system. Not saying that I think capitalism is a good thing.

Why would you not be able to bypass news paywalls? As long as one user pays for the service they can then crawl the site and host the content on a separate site.

It even says "Junk removal" on the business card!

Or until they implement a trust model that denies access to uncertified user-agents?
