While the free market should be able to correct the problem, it can't.
I can't talk specifically about the uk, but in the US many locales have strict zoning regualtions that hamper building medium density cheap housing, perfect for all these people that can't afford to live where there's work.
Examples are things like minimum parking requiements, driveway setbacks, and limitations on multifamily homes.
Honestly, it's so easy to block accounts, so if there's only one bot in you community you should just keep it.
If they don't like it they can block it.
There's also a lot of violence, and a fair amount of gore, not kid friendly.
Get medicated.
It doesn't matter what you current or past hyperfixation is, or will be. You will get sick of whatever you study.
You either need to get medicated, or have iron will to get through with sheer discipline.
If you don't, you likely will not pass. So college will be a waste of your time and money. So you should either become a self taught programmer or find a stimulating job with no college needed.
Nvidia shield is the best,
Roku devices are pretty good for less money
Admiral Pasalk may not have been evil, but he was a jerk.
4g of CO2 per email? I find that hard to believe. Probably overestimating emissions like some media did with Netflix.

I've only crowdfunded a handful of gsmes, mostly vr. Because they can't get traditional funding. Despite this I want to support projects that could be interesting. Without Kickstarter these projects would not exist, rather than switch to traditional funding.
I know there's risk, i know they may never get finished. But its worth the risk in case a true gaming gem comes out.
I have similar feelings with The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.
I think you undersell how feature rich steam is for both users and developers.
They offer community forums, reviews, mods through workshop, cloud saves, automatic controller support, openish vr ecosystem (epic cant even do vr, if you buy a vr game you likely need to use steamvr anyway), broad payment and currency options, regional pricing and guidelines, remote play, and more I'm sure.
This is much more feature rich than even console platforms, so I think the 30% fee is justified.
And they do this all without really locking down their ecosystem.
Recent controversy over an absurdly high failure rate.

Might be fixed now, but i wouldn't gamble.
Valve ships a linux device in the form of the steam deck, so almost certainly.
