Microsoft is really bad at first impressions. Like that initial Halo Infinite preview and the early Avowed preview with the skeletons and weird/lacking shadows. Or being shocked that the public didn't like Redfall and that it was comically buggy. Obsidian is perennially solid, but Microsoft is at least a brand anchor with how they can't seem to ever have foresight for any PR issues with their decision making

New GameNative update boosts Windows game emulation on Android with multiple improvements

Haven't tried this yet. Tried Pluvia which this forks off months ago. I remember getting a game running. I think it was Eastward. Worked fine enough but decided to not spend anytime on it and wait until things got a lot better. Pretty sure others failed. I'll try again eventually. Only care for installing games from Steam. Tried plain Winlator with a repack and that was too annoying to keep doing for any game

Tldr; Join physical movements like a union to focus on actual laws being created and/or enforced while shitting on people for doing anything that else that may be positive

Also tries to sell their book bragging about how early reviews are raving about it. Provocative for clicks to say obvious shit that they're selling. "Bruh, join a union. We need to organize a popular political party. "

Also their conclusion doesn't read to me like it actually goes against personal conscious consumption choice. Like saying join a movement as if a movement doesn't start with a bunch of individuals making choices about how they spend their time, use their money, speak their opinion, etc and figuring out all these individuals have a lot in common and have a common point to organize around

Article is like, "ya Linux, Signal, Mastodon, etc. But they're all niche and you as an individual make so little difference so join a movement."

Linux is probably the most used kernel for operating systems in the world. Not a good example. Backend operating system for the Internet. Signal is far more popular than a decade ago. Don't know about Mastodon. Regardless if people aren't being encouraged to engage in more private and/or decentralized Internet, why the fuck would they be engaged enough to go to some political meetup about something they don't individually engage with and develop personal interest towards. Collective action starts with developing individual interests that converge to a collective group of individuals with shared interests.

Telling people to join movements while telling people, well actually not those movements

Also shit on people's good causes and their small actions and not realize that those little things keep people engaged and they're potential conversation points to bring people into more direct organized action.

Then after complaining about small niche movements that apparently won't amount to anything long term, they point out small niche organizations that for some reason will grow and amount to something long term for reasons I imagine being that they care more about those than using decentralized and open source software (services)
