It’s definitely not the same because macOS has a lot of eye candy and background processes, especially if you have other apple devices. Still, it’s a lot better than windows

While this could be a good idea in theory, I guess in practice many people will be dishonest and just vote for whomever they wanted from the beginning

Of course there is! They could spend more money in PR campaigns and ~bribes~ lobbying

FYI, the Factorio devs have stated that the game will never go on sale

I’m all in favour of prosecuting Google for it’s search monopoly, but Trump only cares about using the monopoly in his own favour

Given that neither twitch nor YouTube will let you, you should look at Owncast; but I don’t know about a particular server for that

I’m sure they understand the problems, and they understand that solving them would eat into their profits

Meta made a twitter clone when they had the chance, they’ll happily make a YouTube clone.

I don’t think Amazon or Microsoft are very interested in entering that market, but they are the only ones with the money and compute to support such a platform.

Maybe Netflix could be interested? But I doubt it

The nice thing about the fediverse is that you could start your own instance and not federate with them

Wasm comes to mind, execution time in the browser will probably be ok, but size is a big deal

Not really. While Microsoft can (and does) develop newer frameworks and features integrated into the OS that can break compatibility with existing versions of proton and wine, these changes wouldn’t affect existing games or games developed with the older frameworks.

And even if a new game is developed for these new incompatible frameworks, they will only remain incompatible until proton is patched to support them.

No.

  1. I think that 75 is already too old, especially because they won’t let go of their positions until their terms end even after the “mandated” age of retirement (unless the law specifically forbids taking a position you won’t be able to complete)
  2. Politicians will argue that this age is either too young or too old and will either never update this law, or update it so often it becomes meaningless.

An alternative could be to set the limit to a percentage of average life expectancy, or some other variable, so the law isn’t as easy to ignore or mess with, the law can remain unchanged for decades and remain relevant without adverse effects (hopefully), and politicians are encouraged to improve the quality of life.
