I already am more of a patient gamer, so changing to the old hat is an option for me too. Currently I am looking at the OSS games like Beyond all Reason or 0AD. Probably also gonna look into buying more from GOG.
My main concern with the old hat is the multiplayer, so I mostly invest in games on steam and GOG that have local multiplayer, or a dedicated server.
Okay, the way it is now is acceptable. I just wanted to add that this way can change at the drop of a hat. And yeah, Steam is indeed the best the industry has to offer.
It's still something granted to you at all times, you don't own it. If a fart gets stuck in their asses they can change the grant. It's why actually owning is something desirable.
It IS really hard to understand what someone is going through if you've never been in that position yourself, and even then it's hard.
On the other hand: You never know when to attribute a behavior from someone to malice. And it's also very easy to stop working on oneself when not pressured in doing so, especially for addicts.
This is the result of having too many "nothing to hide" idiots.
They are all meaning to say "not my problem", but all they're doing is create problems for themselves and their kids. They only notice, as always with privacy, when it's entirely too late.
In the video you can hear them yelling "Hey! Release the kid!" and stuff like that. They also call the police "murderers" for protecting the child against the thrown stuff, so I don't really take them seriously.
I haven't found any statement from the father, or someone adjacent to them, so I don't know what they have to say about this. Maybe someone can find something.
Gegen 18 Uhr wurden Einsatzkräfte auf einen Jungen aufmerksam, der zuvor offenbar ohne Begleitung an der Versammlung teilgenommen hatte. Aufgrund der noch andauernden polizeilichen Maßnahmen im Nachgang der Versammlung wurde der Elfjährige zu seinem eigenen Schutz in Obhut genommen. Sein Vater wurde benachrichtigt, der ihn circa 90 Minuten später abholte.
Translated by me:
At about 6:00 PM officers noticed a boy attending the event clearly unsupervised. Because of police activity after the event the 11-year-old was taken into police protection. His father was notified and he took the boy with him after 90 minutes.
According to the police the kid was being chased and secured for his own safety because he was unsupervised at the event. He was returned to the father.
To be fair, that was likely some first level support reacting to you trying something that is not supposed to work, as in not supported (playing on Linux).
How the strategy pans out after those talks we will see.
YOU JUST MADE AN ENEMY FOR LIFE
