The game is free and open source. The original version called "Pixel Dungeon" has actually been taken down from Play store due to lack of maintenance, but the torch is being carried on by the mods (Shattered PD being the most prominent). This scammy version seems to be aiming to come off as the original.

Wow, you have a whole account dedicated to attacking Wikipedia. That's pathetic.

Public companies have to account for the shareholdres' expectation of, well, making money (and more money, and more money, and growing the numbers as much as possible). Shareholders have some degree influence on how the company works, depending on how many shares they own, e.g. they can vote for the CEO. This usually leads to the company to introducing more aggressive ways of making money off the users/customers, enshittification, etc., as it has to satisfy the shareholders and not so much the original customers.

But this whole discussion was started by a highly upvoted comment that says: "But why vivaldi of all things?", followed by the poster explaining in further detail why they don't think it's a good choice. That's "dead silent"?

What browser are you talking about here?

Gotta agree here with you. Yeah theoretically maybe someone really just needs a text editor with absolutely no additional convenient features (maybe the older versions of Notepad allowing different fonts and word wrap was too much for someone as well?). But this is such an objective improvement in 95% of usecases it's kind of ridiculous to complain about it.

Kind of, yeah. An another comment mentions Kinkade, that's IMO creepy too. And a lot of anime has a creepy style if you're not used to it.

It's spontaneously pleasant to see for most people, and I believe that's why it was favoured in the training process of the various image generators.

High tech with a 19th century sense of style? I'm sold!

Lots of people would like to "leave politics", as they find themselves under "vicious and unethical attacks" by politicians. However, those people's political existence was forced upon them, they didn't want to be a "political" object, especially not in the current landscape.

Musk instead took up his political role consciously, and used it to further attack and harm many who would prefer to be left in peace. He had the luxury to activate himself, commit far worse violence upon the people than he has been subjected to by the people, and when he realises he doesn't really like it, even though the issues he's facing are probably comparatively trivial, he (believes he) has the luxury to return to a more secluded, safe position.

It's really quite disgusting. And I fear he'll get away with it. But I am at least satisfied that his story (a supposed tech guru with his marketing bullshit and his comically immature behaviour) has damaged much of the aura of the modern technocapitalist elite.
