For real

How about I don’t pay the invoice, because we’re such good “friends”?

As a Dutchman, I agree we have great infrastructure and “walking” cities. But you’ve only seen Amsterdam. Outside of the cities, The Netherlands is more dependent on cars than you might think. I live on the border of the country and public transport is basically non existent and cycling is not viable due to travel distances, every adult has a car in my area. A family of 4 adults (children over 18 living at home) have 4 cars parked in front of their house here. We’re not as car dependent as the US, but we don’t live in a fairytale either.

Better start now, the US might need a new one soon. /s

A smart contract as the declaration of independence would be awesome though.

It’s even become mandatory by communities in some games, which is something I hate with passion. For instance, many MMORPG communities are on Discord these days (e.g. Guild Wars 2, more specifically the raiding scene).

So I subscribed to these communities and started using Discord. I still don’t get the appeal, it’s a cluttered mess all over the place and it doesn’t feel intuitive to use. Maybe I’m getting old…

It’s WYSIWYG all over again…

Concludes that it works, but it’s not quite there yet. And looking at other replies here, it’s even more challenging if you want to play competitive multiplayer games that use anti cheat software. Which are games I still enjoy to play.

Great article and also outlines why I’m not switching today. I already have to deal with plenty of shit during my work hours, gaming is a way for me to relax and wind down. I don’t want to think or deal with a sub optimal gaming experience, to then have to bug fix in my spare time.

You can say all the negative stuff you want about Windows, but it does run games well. The moment I can expect to have the same experience on Linux, I will switch, it’s that simple.

And so it begins, this might be the start of the digital war. Let’s hope they won’t make it into a physical one.
