It would be good if the change was towards Linux, but it seems more likely the transition will be towards an increasingly restrictive Android, reflecting how phones have become people's primary computing devices, so I'm not looking forward to it.

I think Reddit will still be around, but when it comes to Twitter, the acquisition saddled the company with billions in debt amounting to around a billion in yearly interest repayment. Twitter already was barely making ends meet before that, and it only lost revenue for all the stupid decisions being made. Even if it was exactly as profitable as before, it wouldn't be enough anymore.

One day Twitter is simply going to stop working, or close off so much it becomes unusable, unless Musk personally tries to keep it afloat at expense of his own fortune, or someone is dumb enough to buy it off of him and do the same.

I also see a lot of wishful thinking in the Fediverse, but this is not the case here. People there may not want to move on, but it's not gonna keep it afloat. I already see a lot of people making their escape plans and linking alternative platforms every day.

Parents badly need to understand how bad these things are, because even games explicitly for children these days are full of it, and it has been going on for over a decade already.

You can get Mario + Rabbids very cheaply from time to time, it's one of the few exclusive Switch games you'll get a good price on.

If you want something really different but really cool you should look into Invisible Inc., rogueline turn-based tactical stealth in a cyberpunk setting. The way they handle the levels of alertness and challenge ramping up as you remain for too long and take risky actions in each level is really interesting.

Or happy. The guy could be travelling the world, spending every waking moment doing something fun and interesting and here he is ranting like a basement-dwelling loser.
