If you're talking about crowdstrike... They didn't all blue screen. That was caused by third party software that caused the same sort of issue (kernel crash/panic) on Linux boxes not even 3 months earlier.

How could I ever forget

When you show it they stop and stare

Protip: don't scribble shit out in screenshots. Too easy for people to figure out what's underneath. Put filled in rectangles over whatever you don't want people to see so there's nothing that shows through. Most built in photo editors on phones have this functionality.

Estimates from earlier this year are that they spend $2.35 for every $1 they make.

Because those are your only options beyond bigotry chikin in most places. If you live somewhere with other dedicated fried chicken options, you're aleady significantly ahead.

Man, he still isn't over how Thiel snubbed him with Paypal and how his original "x.com" online bank idea failed, is he?

For additional context, this was not a choice, but a requirement. The Linux Foundation is US based, and Torvalds is a US citizen. This was required due to current US sanctions against Russia, and was not just some sort of "Russia bad" thing from Torvalds that a lot of people are framing it as.

Sorry to break it to you, but this has been the state of games purchasing/preservation since at least the 90s. Check instruction manuals for old cartridge games, most have disclaimers in the back that you only purchased a license.

The bright side is that despite all of that, games preservation is still going quite strong. Just through piracy and not entirely legal means. This really doesn't change anything, except online only games won't be as easy to preserve as people had hoped. This isn't a step back in any way. It's just a confirmation that things are still what they have been for decades.
