I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

they did it without relying on DRM

Steam itself has some kind of DRM. You need to login to Steam to access the games you bought (sure there’s offline mode but then you can’t download your games, update or buy more, so it’s only temporary convenience). If Steam dies one day, so will your Steam games library.
However, the service is great, so it’s not annoying.

You mean the last part is not correct. I did forget that I heard that point before. However, it is still a DRM and you are relying on a promise made by a for-profit company that it will be removed if necessary. I don’t think history showed this kind of trust is deserved. Steam is doing good right now and has a strong founder and leader. What happens when he’s gone in 20 years, and the company has financial troubles?

Is it ironic?

Anarchy is not absence of rules, it’s absence of hierarchy. So you could still collectively agree to certain rules for merges.

For me, the main drawback is rather than you need to get to a machine to get your physical money pieces regularly. Sometimes you run out, there’s no machine, or you have no time to find one, and it can put you in troubles, like being stuck in the middle of transit or getting at the cashier and realizing you don’t have enough.

Arch is about managing the system as a hobby, which is fine.

Only the installation takes more time, maintenance is no longer than the noob friendly ones.

Depends on the subject. Try to criticize left wing subjects and see what happens.

In the same vein, comments like “I’m a big bearded man but I cried…”. As if they need to reaffirm their masculinity when they speak about their feelings in case we suddenly think they turned into a unicorn or something.

Why do you think it discredis it?

The visual is more about highlighting specialization and its distance from the limit of human knowledge. You often can’t represent every aspect of a complex subject at the same time on a single visual. Kinda like how you can’t represent the solar system distances and planet sizes to scale on a single page, you have to pick one.

Anyone knows the origin of this representation? I’ve seen a professor use it years ago and I thought it was his, but I guess not.
