I’m not petty enough to give up on their free games. I just claim them in the browser to avoid dealing with their launcher.
But it’s important to note that, if their UX is so terrible that people avoid their launcher like the plague, they get fewer chances to tempt users into buying anything. If the sales are low, most developers won’t even bother listing their games on EGS. It’s a death spiral.

I find EGS launcher to be incredibly slow, so I don’t even bother claiming their free games using it. I use the browser instead. The annoying part is EGS launcher will prompt my 2FA if I don’t open it at least monthly, which is also too much of a bother.

The article doesn’t even show an example of an finished Frankenstein laptop. 😑
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 3 months ago:
That’s also hugely in part because Apple develops Webkit at a snails pace. Some say they gimp their own rendring engine so that it isn’t competitive with native applications from the App Store. This way, there’s less incentive for developers to make web-apps to avoid the 30% app store tax.
- Comment on Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout 3 months ago:
I use Firefox as my main browser on Android, and all apps that invoke a WebView do so using Firefox rendering engine, with uBlock Origin and Dark Reader working seamlessly. So, maybe this info about Firefox for Android lacking WebView support is outdated?

I always wondered what’s the source of this GIF…
- Comment on Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible 8 months ago:
I’d argue Lemmy is turning into its own echo chamber. I’ve seen some mods power tripping just like good old Reddit. I erroneously thought people would learn from past mistakes, but sadly this is not what happened.
