You don’t need to be passive agressive either, you can just be polite and factual.

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.

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....

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?

That’s an interesting point.

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.

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

You can have a majority vote system.

Is it not possible for the people to all agree to respect the result of the majority vote even if they voted against the motion?

Or just use a good IDE that makes doing atomic commits pretty natural.

Nah, I’m that guy, I gave your repo a star for the effort, but I’m not reading your history.

You should try the JetBrains IDEs, as the other said, you can pick changes line by line graphically, when you commit, when you do a diff with another branch or when you fix conflicts. It’s much more convenient than commands and terminal text editors.

We need both sustainable garbage management and reduced consumption. We can’t stop consuming and producing garbage, like every life form, but we have to make it sustainable.
