For most things I default towards free and open source software. If that doesn't work, then I will look for a proprietary solution. There's only a few areas where this is relevant.
I use Chrome browser for work. I have Steam, which is fantastic but is absolutely proprietary. Not much outside of that.
It is a Minecraft clone, but it does a lot more. People are building new games with the same engine. It's called a voxel engine, because that the type of 3D that was popularized by minecraft.
An overly compressed 4k stream will look far worse than a good quality 1080p. We keep upping the resolution without getting newer codecs and not adjusting the bitrate.
