Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you'll never make a dent in it.

What happened with Unity in the end? Did they back down?

Going back to /r/all on reddit now just pure trash. It's unbelievable how badly it's declined, very recently.

An old MS-DOS game from the 90s called Solar Winds, by Epic Megagames. It was top down and you flew around battling spaceships and doing missions in space. I absolutely loved it as a kid. Pretty sure you can get it for free now.

Actually yes hereit is https://www.playdosgames.com/online/solar-winds/

He is very good at the following things:

  • being born rich
  • investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
  • taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we've seen from twitter, when he doesn't have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He's also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

You don't pay cash for it, but it takes up your time and IKEA gets your data and is allowed to send you spam. So kinda free, but also not.

Kindle has this, it's called Whispersync. Of course you need to buy both the book and the audiobook so it's not cheap.

Yep Google Play Music was literally perfect. It was incredible. And now it's gone I have to use Spotify and the world's most backwards fucking 'add to queue' logic. Get fucked Spotify. Best of a bad bunch.

Can confirm, I listen to podcasts on Spotify and it's really annoying.

It turns out cable wasn't some unique product or way of doing things, it's just the natural form media delivery takes under capitalism. Streaming services are convergently evolving to take that shape too.
