OK, that is a lot more disturbing than the meme was... 😅

Hilarisch om dingen te gaan lopen eisen terwijl je eigen minister er verantwoordelijk voor is. Maar ja, dat die niks kan klaarspelen is al een tijdje duidelijk.

As someone whose eyes are currently feeling a bit dry, this is a soothing fact, not disturbing at all.

I see an Akira screenshot, I upvote.

Steam downloads consistently saturate my 1 Gbps connection, but it's still fast enough for me. Had it a year now, still not really used to things going that fast.

I was using the cookie lists but I stopped using them due to the aforementioned problems.

Poorly. WSL is awesome but it's I/O performance is not at a level which will make developers on bigger projects happy.

Disabling uBO, dismissing the cookie pop-up and then re-enabling uBO usually works, but is a lot more work than just running Consent-O-Matic in the background.

You're not wrong, but in my experience those lists cause some sites to not work anymore, the whole site will stay dark waiting for the cookie pop-up for example, or you can't scroll. I still use uBO to block ads but Consent-O-Matic gives me a better experience on those sites.

https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic This can do it for you on most sites in most browsers.

This isn't public data unfortunately, devs with a game on both platforms are the only ones who can tell us where they earn more. However, I did once read an article that claimed the effective cut from Steam is about half what it says on the tin IF the devs (or their publisher) put in enough effort themselves. Because that's who decides this, Steam doesn't have and doesn't want any control over this.

Except that's also a lie. Steam does keep a higher percentage of the sales price for itself than Epic does, but it also allows people to activate game keys without taking any money. Steam only makes money from games sold on Steam itself. So developers can sell games through other stores and even through their own website, and keep up to 100% of the sales price. Effectively, this means that Steam takes roughly the same amount of money that Epic does, or in some cases even less probably.
