Whatever he has to tell himself is fine. The important part is he's learning to realize he fucked up and correcting it. Never thought we'd see that.

I'm envisioning full cloud gaming. Games are all hosted in Azure. Device is just a thin client, and it becomes useless if you stop paying your subscription. Of course, it'd already be useless on flights and anywhere with spotty internet.

Has that perfect MS blend of being built on Windows, requiring a subscription fee, and totally missing the whole point of being a handheld.

Agreed. But even if he does, this sort of stuff contributes to a reputation and could lead future users to choose to post to communities on better instances. That's the part I think would be good for lemmy overall.

Yeah, this sort of stuff strikes me as bad for the user affected and for .world, but good for lemmy overall. An active, competent user is being forced to post to non-LW communities exclusively.

It can be revoked, but the the official name of the card is a "permanent resident card" because holders have the status of "permanent resident." Calling them temporary wouldn't really clarify anything.

Strictly speaking, even citizenship can be revoked; there's a difference in the legal term permanent as it applies to residency and the common definition of the word.

He promised to end the war before becoming president and, separately, to do so within 24 hours of taking office. He's definitely promised more than nothing and fallen short of doing what he did promise.

I know what you're going for, but accuracy is still important for some folks.
