Console exclusives are anti consumer and it should be illegal for console makers to offer any incentive to developers -- including studios they own -- to make a game exclusive.

Can you point me towards me a brief overview of Rostov, whose territory it's in, and its strategic importance? I've mostly been following the geopolitics of the war and not the actual fronts/troop movements except at a very very high level.
Also the Kbin web UI is already better than the official Reddit Mobile app or site, IMO.
It's no Relay for Reddit, but I'm cautiously optimistic that in six months there will be a bunch of third party apps to choose from.
As much as I think he could have handled the transition a little more gracefully, it's good to see an open source maintainer recognizing when they are no longer making their life better by working on a project.
So many open source devs burn themselves out by continuing to work on projects that no longer spark joy out of a sense of obligation.
This also should be a reminder to the community NOT to harass devs if a project is making choices you don't agree with. The reason most maintainers contribute to open source is the hope that people will like and use their software. Getting messages that indicate people don't like their work and won't use their software is the quickest way to kill someone's enthusiasm for their little corner of FOSS.
Yeah. I get being cynical about all of the wars the U.S. has been part of in my lifetime.
But if you can't see how helping the Ukrainians is unequivocally the right thing to do, I don't know what to say. To me it's nice to be the good guys for once and point our defense industry at something worthwhile.
It depends on whether you consider the conditions under which the original cells were donated as part of the product.
You could engineer it so users could provide their own algorithm.
It would be a HARD engineering problem, but not impossible, IMO.
There's still tons of pre-edited video creators. I don't think that's decreased in output at all. It's just that streams are now ALSO being produced.
The goal should be to allow users to choose their own algorithm, including third party algorithms you can install yourself or something.
especially properly permissioned users, even.
The Final Architecture series by Adrian Tchaikovsky uses artificial gravity as the basis for almost all its tech.
I'm not saying it should be illegal to release games for only one console. Obviously not every studio is going to have the bandwidth to develop for every platform, and some games will use special features of some systems.
What I'm saying is that it should be illegal for console makers to give any special incentives or preference to developers to do so artificially.
