For games like this it’s almost always licenses for cars or music. They probably weigh the cost off renewal vs likely future sales.

Using Android as a base was honestly the most reasonable thing they did. No reason to reinvent the wheel. What they made with it is admittedly really shit, though.
No, that was IBM, not valve.
Huh, I’ve been in that train. Sudden, random hit of Nostalgia.
Water. Cold brew black or green tea if I’m feeling frisky.
I mean, if I felt morally obliged to disclose illegal or immoral practices to the public, I’d be sure to run so somewhere they can’t get me. If there aren’t proper whistleblower protections, you gotta make your own.
Yeah, fuck the KMT. But as you have recognised, they aren’t a dictatorship anymore.
And the status quo is that they are de facto a small independent island nation, that is de jure claiming mainland China.
You have an island governed by a democratically elected government, with a population that from what I remember mostly doesn’t want to be assimilated into the PRC. The PRC taking it by force would, in my eyes, be rather imperialistic.
Well, shit, there goes my vote.
I do believe it’d result in a better company. I’m not convinced it’d result in a higher stock price.
They’re still worth a lot more than almost any other car manufacturer. Without Musk and his pie in the sky promises, what else is left to justify that?
A modern replacement for OpenScan. It’s workable, but some features don’t work on Modern Android, and a good Scanner app is probably something most people could use. Could look at Adobe Scan and Office Lens for feature inspiration.
Logseq uses a bit of a different paradigm though. It is cool, but I wouldn’t say it’s a drop in replacement.
Is the obsidian Android App not open source? I thought all their stuff was. Kinda embarrassed I never checked.
you have an app called android podcasts
Never heard of that. There’s Google Podcasts, but Google discontinued it recently. I’d personally recommend AntennaPod, but there’s other alternatives as well.
I personally don’t value them differently, but I see your point.
The wonky ownership of these games is actually the reason I’ve been pretty much exclusively buying stuff on GoG for a few years. I don’t know their stance on inheritance, but at least the hypothetical grandchild won’t need perpetual access to the account to keep playing the games.
In the end, clear legislation is kinda the only thing that can resolve this mess.
Yeah, my point was, if they do try to enforce their policies, we could probably find a way to work around it. It’s probably cheaper and easier than for your heirs to test those digital inheritance laws in court.
I wouldn’t even say that. Even if they had a truly unique LLM that ran partially locally with a custom co-processor, Android might still have been a good choice. It’s just hard to beat an open source base that’s already compatible with most mobile hardware, and relatively easy to find Devs for.
