The fact that when you purchase a game on Steam and it gets aasociated to your account is a form of Digital Rights Mamagement. Not as bad compared to Denuvo (depending on who you ask), but it's still technically DRM, just not as intrusive.

Game purchases on GOG on the other hand, while the purchase is associated to your account, the game can be installed on all "your" computers and can be run simultaneously.

Depends on thw game and what sort of mod support it has. Obviously on Steam if it has Steam workshop support. DRM free on GOG is good but at the same time Steam has been doing quite of lot of good things related to gaming on Linux and I would like them to continue doing it.

Good to know (regarding Lutris and GOG). I've always stuck with Steam because of the ease of running games on Linux).

Very interesting. I've always liked the idea of owning and driving the old BJ42 ones but they are few and far between. The more "affordable ones have lots of rust while the good condition ones are very expensive.

I sometimes think that this is one of the few occasions where my idea should stay an idea. :p

Unfortunately ING is slowly watering down or removing the features which made them great - like removing the rebates for international Atm operator fee, or requiring more hoops to jump through just to get the maximum savings interest rate.

Still better than the rest I guess but not as good anymore.

Personally I find the current range of phone options simply too huge. Having owned a Sony Z3 Compact followed by the XZ1 Compact, I didn't have many choices. I ended up with the Asus Zenfone 8.

I really like the formfactor of the Oppo find N where in it's folded form it's a really usable size and I can unfold it if I need a bigger screen. I don't mind the Samsung Flips or the Motorola Razrs but I think the outside screen can be bigger. There's a market for the Samsung Folds but it's not for me.

Tl;dr - my idea of a foldable should be a good sized phone which folds down to something very compact and pocketable.

Nice. Good condition FJs are hard to find nowadays. Were they easy vehicles to drive?

Being transparent is a very difficult thing to do. :/

While they're at it, why not look at bringing up the standards of home insulation up to modern standards. A little bit here will pay off in the long run in terms of reduced heating/cooling costs.

I think the main issue here is the difference in estimated wait times on the website vs the actual wait times which is many years longer. How hard is it to provide accurate and up-to-date information for people to make a decision when applying.

Very interesting. The closest I have gotten to a kelp forest is probably in Subnautica. :p

Noted. Thanks for your clear response. I'll just keep it simple have the OS snapshots on the same partition.
