    All good mate. It's healthy to disagree a bit and we came to an understanding after all! Cheers.

    I guess after reading to his statements, it seems that he probably leans Republican.

    However, he has some criticism of other platforms that I also take issue with. Such as corporate Democrats that are obviously feckless and captured by big business (like Schumer).

    I don't know if I necessarily disagree with him, that I find it more likely for Gail Slater to "possibly" do Antitrust than I expect corporate Democrats to do it.

    However that being said, I think I'm left with some thoughts:

    1. Why say anything at all? It was stupid for Proton to even state a political position.
    2. I don't really think his opinion was "wrong" so much as it was, pointless? Like it's a non-falsifiable claim and there's not really a point in making it? I think everyone knows that both Republicans at large and Corporate Democrats are NOT going to be doing any serious attempts at reform.
    3. If he really wants Antitrust and wants to put his "money where is mouth his" he should be tossing his lot with the one group that might actually do something about it in the U.S., which is the left-wing of the Democrats, the Democratic Socialists. But a businessman will never align with a "socialist" party lol.

    It's such a dumb thing to get hung up on. Who cares what someone's background is so long as the codebase is free, open source, and secure lol.

    I swear to God DHH and his ilk freaking out over identity politics...

    I am a Mullvad VPN and Proton user... I've heard some questionable things about the Mullvad CEO that has me questioning re-upping after my time is consumed.

    Now I'm bracing myself... What did Proton do? Lol...

    This is how I had interpreted it as well. Since reviewing the code would be a "full time job" ultimately for him, as well.

    To add a clarifying question, I joined in 2023 or so (whenever the reddit API killed third party apps like TalkLittle's).

    I've been debating picking up some small features here and there as I am a dev, and trying to contribute.

    Are we saying here that we don't have any intentions to let net new features be developed by community members? (I'm not implying this is wrong, I just want clarification so I can stop and not waste my time with what I've been working on the side).

    Not everyone sits in the title screen. And the initial star explosion does not immediately lead one to conclude the whole universe is ending.

    I know there are periods where history waxes and wanes. I know, from 1930-1945 must have felt like hell, for example. Rightfully so.

    It's crazy to me how I feel like for the last decade I've been taking crazy pills. Nobody seems to care about sense, kindness, cooperation, or thoughtfulness.

    My hopefulness lies in seeing most people I know, regardless of political leanings, as being disgusted by this. I hope a day of reckoning comes soon. I do hope a day comes where justice is served as well.

    I hope since it's been so long, things will come back around soon. Wishful thinking I suppose.

    I've been playing Outer Wilds after a Tildes thread where folks often said it was the best game they'd ever played.

    I don't know how far along I am but I've been thoroughly enjoying it. My wife and I have gotten into the groove of having nightly play sessions. I don't know if this is the way it's "supposed to be played", but it's been very enjoyable and I can see why it was so highly praised.

    I find myself thinking about the puzzles and storyline throughout my entire day, and excited for the next time my wife and I can sit down to play.

    Obviously please don't spoil anything for me.

    The inflection point analogy is something I've brought up a lot. It does feel like we're at a stage where a lot of people I talk with feel it too. The sort of... Lifting of the veil to reveal the horror that awaits us a bit.

    Maybe that's a bit too dark, but it feels as if there isn't much to be done besides hunker down and harden with friends and build strong community.

    Yeah I've played wow on and off since 2004.

    I have not official since 2013 BESIDES two short juants with Classic Re-release (2019) and SoD.

    Considering blizzardsofts major fuckups (lol the fratboy stuff), their inability to actually make an interesting game nowadays, and their inability to control their bots. I don't think anything will make me come back short of dozens of friends pressuring me with some serious evidence they somehow magically changed.

    Blizzard customer service is such a massive joke. They have no real GMs, I remember in classic Re-release reporting a BLATANT bot for weeks straight, only to give up because blizzard refused to take action.

    I just don't think the company cares anymore, and I wish more people would tell them to pound sand and join private servers honestly.

    It is surprising how much Turtle WoW absolutely devoured Blizzard's lunch when it comes to quality and care of the IP.
