I mean, when you spin your own instance, because frankly, that's what the best option if you're a content creator, you can put whatever ads and monetization strategies you want. So basically the full income that gets generated gets to you, instead of splitting it with some third party that invests minimal effort. Yes, you'll have to pay someone to maintain and upkeep the server, but assumedly the people that can make the change will take that cost into account.

I'm surprised by this. Isn't controlling your full production/distribution/revenue a good enough payback?
Perhaps you should talk to customer support and try to get your money back. Even if it won't work, there's no faster way to reach the company to make a stand than to have an explicit paper trail to customers that are leaving them because of this.

I must preface this by saying that I'm not a game dev, but the Steam Runtime SDK has been offering stable versioned targets for linux for close to a decade now. Porting to one of them shouldn't be more difficult than porting to any other console specific SDK.
Sadly I don't see that happening. Game devs have gotten used to having their cake and eating it too by developing for Windows and using Proton as a crutch to get the the Steam OS certification too. flibitijibibo was right: linux porters have probably gone out of business.
I solved this by building Web Components out of them. Basically the HTML needs just a custom template tag, which includes a script with the JSON-LD payload. The component corresponding to the template, initializes itself based on that data. See here for an example: https://releases.bruta.link/releases/2026/June/21
Granted, all of this is not for SEO purposes, but part of the ActivityPub ecosystem, which also uses JSON-LD for data encoding.
You're basically reinforcing my point which was that the artist argument is a straw man, and companies that need artists to interact with version control will most likely use something else than git.
I'm pretty sure that the way speedrunners get their fast times are by either anticipating, or more likely, by finding an earlier trigger event that correlates, and allows them to hit the frame perfect timing.
In central Europe I have at least one shop that sells loose leaf tea in walking distance, and multiple ones in ordering range but still local(ish). Prices per 100 grams are about twice as gourmet coffee, but you use less quantity so it lasts longer. So check your neighbourhood internet. :)
Lol, I had no idea scrobbling was popular again. I'm the maintainer of a scrobbler daemon for linux that gets the track info through MPRIS and can send it to last.fm, listenbrainz and libre.fm. :)
Haha, have you tried that? I think in this day and age marketing is much needed activity even for open-source projects providing quality solutions to problems.
The electronic ID hosts a cryptographic key that can be used through some sort of hardware device in order to generate QR codes, or whatever that are linked to the user's official identity...
The public part of the identity (which in our example it was enrolled at bank account opening) can be used by the server that checks the QR code to see if it actually belongs to the correct account owner.
Because there are many interesting uses for having a personal electronic token that's also recognized by your own government. My own interest is in using it as a base for establishing an identity for electronic ballots.
