If you give 50 bucks to a homeless person, it will be gone instantly. If you give $44 Billion to Elon Musk, he will use it to kill a social media website.
It's just a new picture format that is arguably better than jpeg in many scenarios. It has been around for many years. Windows just refuses to do file associations correctly, so people hate it for no reason.
I don't think most communists would have a problem with people trading crops that they grow themselves. The problem comes in when someone hires employees to grow more crops for them, starts collecting profits, and grows the farm even bigger. All under the expectation that they own everything that their employees worked for. Cause that's literally capitalism on a small scale.
Of course it needs to be possible for multiple people to come together and start growing crops, but only as long as no single person can take over the entire operation. Leaders would be elected, and be given a somewhat higher salary to reflect the additional responsibility.
When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager! Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons! Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down... with the lemons! I'm gonna get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!
Cave Johnson, Portal 2
Maybe not words to live by, but certainly a memorable quote.
I don't really care about this specific problem. I care about Steam being a bad experience in general. Look, I get that people are downvoting me because it seems like i am whining about something minor. But the thing is... if Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher work flawlessly, and Steam has always been wonky, why would I put my money there? Seems like Valve can't keep up. Unless they can deliver a good experience, they won't get my money.
Doesn't really apply to me since I'm on fedora and had it installed through RPM Fusion. And even if it would work again, it wouldn't get me to reinstall it, since it doesn't fix the underlying problem of the launcher being simply bad and restrictive.
It's just so much nicer to not be bound to that software. I want to own the files on my disk, and not be forced to tiptoe around them through a restrictive UI. The issue I had was really just the straw that broke the camel's back.
It's shit like this that keeps me from building any kind of trust in MS-owned open source projects.
