This is such a dum post; love it. Here we go:

There is no need for. Flatpak as an additional format is nice to have, but I don't want to trust 200 independent sources. I want to trust my distribution who test and bring those stuff together into a native packaging format, specialized for the distribution. I don't want to fiddle with every Flatpak application until it gets the correct rights for my setup or try to make it look like any other native package. Flatpak does not even work with CLI programs (but could be extended to in the future).
Flatpak is great for big and complicated programs, such as Firefox and LibreOffice. Especially if they get a lot of updates and need to be as fast as possible distributed, such as any web browser.
So you think the entirety of Reddit is using random usernames, with disposal email and a random generated password via Firefox? Really? Is this what you say on every data breach that involves user data? Even if that was true, an account getting hacked would be bad. Even old accounts that are no longer used by their owner could be used to spread shit and no one knows who is hacked and not. This is valuable. But that's besides the point. According the article the passwords and accounts are safe.
Users have private discussions or any other stuff, including their real email address and who knows what else. This is bad. This is really bad for the end user. The hackers try to make money, just like any other data breach. Only CEOs would try to talk this good.
It would be ethical, if 4.5 million dollar money was not required.
People seem to applaud this. But in reality, this is an attempt of making money in cost of the user privacy. So in the end, if Reddit does not pay, then the end users will pay for with their data being public. As a former Reddit user, I am not a fan of this, even if it makes Reddit look bad.
The Matrix was the first DVD movie I purchased (and still have and still love it).
Videogame emulation. In early 2000s (maybe in late 90s), a friend called me to his home and said he wants to show me something. Then he said "look" and played my favorite game Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past on the PC in front of me. I thought it was a Flash video in the browser and he tried to fuck around with me. As soon as I knew what is going on, I quickly understood the power of emulation. Over 20 years later, this technology is still mind blowing to me.
Oh you are right, that makes totally sense. I was so focused on the performance side. In the past Steam allowed for custom skins, but they never looked great in my opinion or functioned well. If the UI is flexible enough, hopefully the custom skins will make a return. I would like to build my own custom client based on the official client.
There are a few settings you can set, to make it more light. I use it, because my computer is a bit old now. Open Steam Settings > Library and tick ON "Low Bandwidth Mode", "Low Performance Mode", "Disable Community Content" and disable "Show game icons in the left column".
Depending on your system, either enable or disable the setting at Steam Settings > Interface > "Enable GPU accelerated renderin in web views" and "Enable hardware video decoding, if supported".
These tweaks should help with an older system. And Steam has a very small mode too. In the main user interface menu at top, click View > Small Mode.
I never had a DOS computer back then and only played a few games through emulators in recent years. It has to be DOOM for me.
Here is a 5 months old video by AngryJoe praising BattleBit before it was cool: https://youtu.be/Xbv5TLJdLQk Mind you, he was a big Battlefield fan. Glad to see this game made it! Man Steam is truly the platform to take off indie games. (Hopefully Epic Games won't buy this studio too...)
I still wonder why the game has "Remastered" in the title. A research could not answer my question.
