I used SearX/SearXNG metasearch engine for years now. Works great.

Is it though? While Matt Mullenweg is a douche, he wasn't wrong about WP Engine contributing nothing to open source WordPress development.

That's what people complained about in the few recent posts I saw about Epic Games and Steam in this community.

At the very least, Lemmy users care. They continually claim that's their number one issue with Epic Games as an alternative to Steam.

Can anyone remember a Microsoft update in the last few years that wasn't causing crashes and failures?

Additionally the “workaround” that someone provided still uses those connected services <...>

It literally didn't. All it used was API endpoint, which by definition is not proprietary.

“right to repair”

Right to repair is about ownership. If a company can take away features or product you paid for, you don't own it, you rent it.

Next step, US sending their own troops after retaliatory strike and Netanyahu plan to involve US in a region wide war/genocide will be complete.

The only good thing that came out of all of this is that FAA reputation is now in the gutter. And other aviation authorities around the world are now getting more involved in doing their own evaluations, instead of mostly relying on FAA for Boeing planes specifically. It does increase the development timeline of new places significantly, as Boeing is a US company and that create a lot of logistical issues for inspections.

And there are several individual EU countries that are moving to open source software, but so far they are not very keen on actually supporting their development. And sadly, EU is moving away from funding open source via Horizon program. https://www.theregister.com/2024/07/17/foss_funding_vanishes_from_eus/

It's an identical playbook they used in Gaza and as before there is no evidence of that. Israel is a terrorist state committing a genocide, but they got US as an accessory with their unconditional support, so it's all good.

They're upset with Epic and their exclusives

facepalm

<...> their shitty storefronts that have extremely limited features by comparison.

Have you used Steam in the early days? It took 5 years before they added basic community features.

Plus we all know the decreased commissions is just their way of attempting to gain market share, as opposed to just making a better product.

A better product means nothing if you have no users. Case in point all the enshitified platforms that still exist to this day.

Steam is far from perfect, but it's also far and away the best option we have.

Only option. That's the ultimate issue, which you prefer to ignore.
