My “best we got” was in regards to the potential to become a lot worse because of shareholder pressure. Given that CD Project is a publicly traded company, GOG is much worse in that regard than Steam.
I fully agree that GOG, as it currently is, could be the better product for you depending on your values, but its defenses against enshittification are objectively much worse than Steam’s*, and that’s all I was talking about.
*That is, until Gabe dies, I guess, who knows what’ll happen then
Nobody is talking about “no potential”. Just “a lot less potential than any other option out there”, and that’s currently the best we got
The German saying says “Hut”, which is a less broad term than the English “hat”. And it definitely does not include that.
Will if we’re only talking charging, USB-C should be as easy to implement as any of them, basic 5v is gonna work even without most of the pins connected
In that case it becomes a violation again. At least according to the law
Pretty sure most people here are talking about the usage side of things. If we were to go by effort to implement the connector, let’s just go back to serial ports
I mean, this is one of the few cases where you actually can reasonably say that you might not have to give a damn about GDPR. Assuming this is in the US, there’s a high chance that no EU citizen lives in that building, and thus GDPR doesn’t apply.
(Yes, I know this didn’t actually happen)
One plugs into line voltage
Well, but that’s not what’s coming out of the end that you plug into the razor. The wall plug for it contains a transformer that steps it down to 15V. Would still be a bad idea, but it’s not line voltage.
B is fine, just a bit big. Agree on micro though.
How is USB-C worse than either of them
Doesn’t really matter for the point they’re making, does it?
Haha yeah, I feel you
It absolutely is a ton of work, no denying that. But it’s also really fun, and it’s incredible seeing what people are cooking up for this!
Right, that’s definitely an important thing, that at least with gog, you can defend yourself against that possibility.
