Found a list with supposed non-chromium browsers. But it's a couple of years old, so I don't know if it holds water.

There's Firefox & Waterfox

Librewolf

Mullvad

GNOME Web (Epiphany)

Pale Moon

SeaMonkey

Midori

K-Meleon

Otter Browser

And of cause, Safari.

I can't speak to the validity or quality of any of these. But at least there is something to look into.

Hmm... disappointing

Duckduckgo?

Just potted my new set of chiliplants. Yellow, red, purple and black fruits if all goes according to plan. (It never does. Chilies always get infested with something.)

Hopefully I can save enough fruits to make a few batches of hotsauce to carry me through next winter. ;)

I'm not what one would call a "user" by any means. I was just tired of Microsoft and their practices.

And I've had very little need for any kind of customization as the people behind my distro have pretty much seen to everything a "dumb dumb" like me need it for.

Plus, I like that I can find solutions for most of the small problems I might find with a quick internet search. And if that fails, there's multiple forums where I can ask for help.

It's been a most welcome change.

So thank you, Linux Wizards.

This scratches a special part of my brain.

Not to knock anyones cooking skills, but that is the most tortured dish I've seen in quite a while.

The mines are moderately feeble. 😆 But that's still a step up from the AT-Mines.

So I'm fighting for charity.

I see how it's different. And I'm not making excuses for anyone.

If anything, I'm saying I can understand where it's coming from. But that doesn't mean I'm onboard with it all.

The cost of developing games hasn't skyrocketed. Developers have more means than ever. Many things that was handcrafted on crappy slow computers then are auto-generated in seconds now.

There's no massive shipping costs or printing of physical mediums anymore. And no losses if the already printed cassettes or CD's didn't sell.

If a game costs hundreds of millions to develop, in this day and age, it's by design and/or because of bloated companies.

I have no personal vendetta against any of these individual Devs.

My stake in this is slightly different. Like, when I heard about how Blizzard treated it's own staff and then the whole sexual harassment thing popped up, I was done with them. From that point on, that company didn't deserve to exist and I blacklisted them. So i try to keep up with gaming related news.

More studios have joined that list since, for various reasons, and I find myself mostly playing indie titles from small upcoming developers now. I feel better about that.

I do believe we should be(e) kind. But I also believe kindness is a two way street.

It's now Sunday and the number only "jumped" with 1000 players from release to now.

I honestly thought it would be more. But it looks like it isn't gonna cross the 20.000 mark.

Mint has treated me just fine since I converted.

I'm not proficient with Linux whatsoever, but Mint has literally been the most newbie user-friendly OS I have tried to date. So Windows can suck it.

For gaming, Steam runs things great. And for other things like GOG, Battle.net, Lutris has server me well. Proton does a good job.

They'll still make the Xbox consoles as long as they are selling. They'll hopefully just ease off the "Exclusives" going forward.

It was a shitty way of trying to move consoles anyway.

Although they are late to the party, Sony is also trying to sell on PC and other storefronts. So my guess is that the console market isn't treating either of them super well atm.

After so many years of corporations fighting The Pirate Bay, you'd think the courts are well versed in the laws regarding torrenting by now.

A quick internet search would suggest that no, you can exchange them, but not dismiss them entirely.

The game seems pretty hard-coded in regards to how they want you to play it.

I'm not making excuses. Just expressing how I understand it.

I get how bloodthirsty people can get and how little rationale thought comes with it.

It's not good, no. More accountability at the top would be preferrable, I'd imagine.

You also have to take into account that many customers haven't felt treated very nicely over quite a long time now. There's definitely some pent-up feelings getting released as a result of people finally achieving functional boycotts.
