There's too much loneliness going around regardless of gender, so no, a sweeping generalization about an entire group probably isn't the most helpful idea. Nor does it address the real problems.

I occasionally do searches to see if there's a blocker for those obnoxious, "Do you want to use the app?" lightboxes. To no avail. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

Because you're presupposing that copyright is right in the first place. Distribution of information has been made free - because of the internet it's the one thing so far where the Star Trek future has been made reality. But intellectual property laws are designed to create artificial scarcity so that one publisher can monopolize a creative work, to the detriment of everyone else.

Fans of various game franchises are not just consumers, but creators in their own right. You have to remember that this delegitimized practice of "piracy" also results in the entire romhacking community.

The bottom line is that free sharing of information benefits us all and produces a rich commons, but intellectual property plunders that commons and produces centralization of media ownership while stripping away our right to be co-creators.

I have a Steam Deck definitely felt no need to get either the Switch 1 or 2.

Strange, I was also on a thread about ending support, and I found (and upvoted) tons of comments about switching to Linux. Must have been from different communities.
