> Steam is not an alternative if you hate digital only games.

GOG is the alternative. It sells DRM-free games

Since 2018 they've been making two releases per year. One in March and one in September.

> Also, the [Cyberpunk 2077] developer owns the GOG storefront and so 100% of your profits go directly to them.

That's no longer the case since a few months: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46422412

> You can doubt that they will, but that’s just hope rather than a legal or technical guarantee.

It's not based on a legal or technical guarantee. But it's based on what Sony did in the past:

P.T. ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P.T._(video_game) ) was pulled from the PS store. But Sony didn't make it unplayable if it was already installed. In fact, the wikipedia article says:

> After the cancellation, PlayStation 4 consoles with P.T. installed were listed on eBay for over $1,000

> 1. An Xbox Live/Playstation Plus is required for any online multiplayer functionality.

This is false. Free-to-Play titles like Fortnite don't require a subscription to play online.

Is there any evidence of this?

They can delist a game from the PS store, but I doubt they would make a game unplayable if it's already installed or if you own it physically.

It will probably have one for backwards compatibility with ps4 and ps5 disc games

Emulation requires the ability to dump games.

And dumping games requires a jailbreak.

That's why there's no switch 2 emulation as of now.

https://bullfincher.io/companies/apple/revenue-by-segment

iPhone: 50.4%

Mac: 8.1%

iPad: 6.7%

Wearables, home and accessories: 8.6%

Services: 26.2%

I assume that the majority of service revenue is App store revenue.

Other services they provide are iCloud and Apple care

I don't like that online play is gated behind a subscription. But you mentioned the wrong price and I was simply pointing that out.

A PS5 disk can hold as much as 100GB, and they could use multiple disks if necessary.

The PS5 does have a browser, used for the "User Guide" which can be opened from the settings.

If you change the PS5's DNS server in network settings, you can make the user guide open Google or Duckduckgo, from which you can browse to anywhere you want.

> LLMs don’t seem like they will ever be reliable like that.

True. But you never know if / when there will be a new big breakthrough in AI, which will probably be based on a new architecture / paradigm, i.e. it won't be LLM-based

I have already been using openrsync even before the recent AI drama.

Just like I have been using doas for several years.

All I need is `rsync -urvP` and I suspect the majority of users don't need the advanced features either.

The smaller code base also means less bugs and vulnerabilities. As an example doas is ~1k lines vs 160k for sudo. That surely means a smaller attack surface. The same is true for openrsync and rsync at approximately 18k vs 57k lines.

There is openrsync, which the OpenBSD re-implementation of rsync

It's not a fork, but it's 8 years old, and is already shipped by default in OpenBSD and macOS.
