Ah, the good old days of serfdom when peasants were tied to the land/manor and its Lord in a slave-like state.

You see some wild shit on Lemmy apparently.

There’s always hope in the proles…

An impasta because I’m a human bean.

Yeah, I’ve already moved most of machines over to various Linux distro because of Windows bloat, spying, ads, etc. For the one windows box I keep, Ameliorated Windows 10 has been treating me pretty well as it seems to strip out most of the crap that keeps getting grafted on to drive shareholder value or whatever.

The original company is not.

On February 13, 1996, Atari agreed to merge with JTS Inc., a short-lived maker of hard disk drives, in a reverse takeover to form JTS Corporation.[4][2] The reverse merger was completed on July 30, 1996.[1] Atari’s role in the new company largely became a holder for most of its properties. Most of Atari’s staff members were either dismissed or resigned, and its Atari Interactive division was quickly shut down,[27] with the remainder of its employees being relocated to JTS’s headquarters.[5][28] Consequently, the Atari name almost vanished from the consumer market.

On March 13, 1998, JTS Corporation sold the Atari name and assets to Hasbro Interactive for $5 million,[3] less than a fifth of what Warner Communications had paid 22 years earlier. The transaction primarily involved the brand and intellectual property rights, which Hasbro Interactive largely used as a brand name for retro game releases.[a][b]

On January 29, 2001, Hasbro Interactive was sold to Infogrames,[31] which renamed it Infogrames Interactive and then the Atari Interactive name in 2003. The present day Atari Interactive, through Atari SA, continues to hold and license all Atari trademarks as well as produce many new games, some based on Atari’s original properties, to this day.

Yup. By and large, the SEO industry is a cancer.

This is how sync has run for almost a decade? I’m not sure why one would jump to the conclusion that it’s abandoned. Love it or hate it, it is completely in line with how the dev has run his project for years.

And throughout the 1930s you had bootleggers and gangsters with Tommy guns terrorizing urban areas across America with gangland shootings and widespread abductions since they outgunned the police. What happened? The feds got bigger guns and passed gun control to get machine guns off the street. And this was actually possible back then because the NRA was still a legitimate civil society organization emphasizing responsible gun ownership and not yet a glorified marketing campaign for arms manufacturers.

The OPs question is basically a false premise born of forgetting history.

I started using Reddit in 2007ish or thereabout. I’m done. I am sick of the drama there, the direction of the platform, and the people are nicer here to boot.

Cult people using the cult as an excuse/justification to behave like selfish assholes. A tale as old as time.

When are the rest of us going to get sick of this petulant bullshit?

Despite the iPhone-focused interface, I’ve found myself using Voyager/Wefwef the most. Liftoff is second. Jerboa is third as it is functional, but just doesn’t seem to match my work flow.

I also have Thunder and Connect, but I don’t find myself using those as much.

I’m also patiently waiting for Sync.
