I don’t see how the DMA would cause this other than Google preemptively setting themselves up for malicious compliance. The whole point of the DMA seems to be to give users choice not take it away.

This is about Revanced, isn’t it? They failed to kill it via the YouTube backend so now it’s down to lock down the os and browsers as much as possible to keep feeding people the juicy ads.

Straight to jail

Very thorough answer, thanks!

I agree trains are generally safer but I’d like to know more about the data. Are those just base death chance statistics (e.g.: 100 people die from train accidents every year compared to 3500 from cars) or deaths/km travelled?

Luckily you can upvote all three

The difference is availability of choice. On apple phones, Xbox, Nintendo, and PlayStation you are locked into a single source of software. On a PC there are myriad of game stores you can choose from. Sometimes you can even buy the software directly from the developer. Usually people are upset when this choice is taken away (for example epic exclusive games). Nobody would bat an eye if a developer offered their game on epic or their own platform with a ~20% discount compared to steam. But it is up to the developers to make their game available on any of the PC game stores.

In conclusion, steam is not a platform holder, they could charge whatever they wanted. If the markup was too high, you could simply choose to buy your games elsewhere. For most people, this 30% is worth it for the features and buyer protection that steam offers compared to other platforms.

150 GB for $30 a month seems like a pretty bad deal…

It seems like the opposite: fission triggered by fusion

$100 seems like a stretch to me as they have been giving the last game away for free several times on Epic. But who knows with the console crowd…

First I read “Saudis’ color shifting” and was very confused for a moment. Probably enough Internet for today.

Despite or Because?

Yeah, imagine trying to hit that while you’re turning the wheel

Its just a frontend for YouTube music essentially. Maybe worth taking a look if someone makes something similar now with sideloading being an option

Edit: 2 minutes of googling lead me to this https://github.com/rphrishi4/RiMusic4ios?tab=readme-ov-file

There is!

Ceck out this (android): ViMusic

Luckily the app is generally (but not always) backwards compatible. It’ll just nag you to upgrade the server.

The server doesn’t, except if you have watchtower or something similar.

The app auto updates on your phone though, unless turned off.

Like everyone is saying, Immich.

But keep an eye on updates because it is under active development so breaking changes tend to happen every once in a while.
