Which is why there needs to be better pushback "Okay, so where exactly are you selling a functional SNES cart that I can plug into my SNES and play?" as an example.
A neighbor of mine gifted me Thief 2 Gold Edition when I was younger and it blew my mind. Getting to eavesdrop on the guards having random convos, and getting caught because I didn't drag a body out of the way. It was wild back then. I've been tempted to play it again but I'm not sure how well it's aged and I don't want to ruin my memories
Having a segregated portion of the sidewalk for human-powered wheel transport makes so much sense though. I drive and walk most places, but looking at the amount of morons who park in bike lanes or struggle to stay in their lane on the road... Having the bikes, scooters, etc. Move to a separated part of the sidewalk makes so much sense.
And back in the day we had CMD that was pretty powerful. Things are great now but if Linux sees a huge flock of new users, and they become the status quo then we could be in trouble.
Worst case scenario: widows goes tits-up and everybody flocks to Linux. Solid ground for a potential commerical swing to happen.
It's almost mind-blowing how people still rely on Azure, Windows, and MS Office for really sensitive shit. Like, MS might as well be an arm of the US Government if they aren't already. All the foreign governments storing sensitive shit in Azure servers is just fucking wild to me. So what if the data centres are stored outside of the USA? The parent company is still the parent company.
My biggest concern is the whole "removing powerful features = user friendliness!" mentality that these big tech companies have been pushing for years.
Why make users smarter when you can make software worse and charge more for it?
The dummies don't get the bigger picture, they just see "nobody needs powerful features that make things too confusing for me!" My hope is that they don't flood Linux with this drivel - profit margin or not, it's a toxic cultre that has already been created in commercial software.
