You do understand that without payment processors they lose all revenue streams altogether, right? Like, none of us can buy games anymore.
The oligopoly in that industry is insane.

Look at Bill S-210 from the last Parliament, it made it to 2nd reading in the House. There is cause for concern.

From what I understand it’s a modified version of the Samsung DEX, which in my experience was very decent.
For actual desktop, Linux is always great.

Android 16 will come with a desktop mode (like Samsung Dex). The Steam Deck is a pretty portable full fledged Linux PC.

- Comment on Elon Musk's X temporarily down for tens of thousands of users 2 months ago:
The whole site has been in disrepair for the past 3 years, and with all the breaches and issues lately, this downtime included, is the result.
If it makes you guys feel even better, just know that such failure to maintain software for so long, mostly complex and widely used like Xitter, means that it won’t get fixed easily at all. The knots are everywhere and will require even more time to untangle. Musk destroys everything he touches and I am at least happy about “this” one.
