Just be careful that irrecoverable damage hasn't been dealt to the game industry and traditional distribution methods by the point that the enshittification starts. What I'm really concerned about is that Microsoft will do everything in their power to smash the current games industry to bits and then rule the ashes. The games industry will end up smaller and worse off, but Microsoft still makes more money since they control a larger share even if the pie shrinks and shrivels.

When people say that they want a third part I doubt they mean it literally, as in they believe there are literally only two parties, but rather I suspect they mean that they want a third party which is large and influencial.

He owns 13%. Still significant, of course. But it's very unlikely he'd sell them just for payback, since that would massively impact his own wealth. https://www.investopedia.com/articles/insights/052616/top-4-tesla-shareholders-tsla.asp

If wages rise in conjunction, I don't see any issue. The theory is that slight inflation encourages putting money to use, either by consuming it or saving in a bank account (where the bank can lend it out) or investing it etc. That's why some inflation is generally considered desirable.

That's too sensible for the web. It almost makes sense, and there's no fun compatibility problems to revel in!

Hello! I'm looking into creating a Matrix account, but I'm not sure where to register it. Does anybody have any recommendations of stable, reliable Matrix instances? I suppose I could use matrix.org, but I figured I'd support decentralisation by joining some other instance. Thanks
