Great post! I really appreciate how you break things down and give folks realistic solutions. My entire career as a commander has been on Linux (with a HOTAS and a bunch of EDMC plugins).
So because Frontier was unable to afford to continue to support it on consoles, you think EVERYONE should lose access? I sympathise that it really sucks for console players but it’s better than nothing at all for everyone.
I was talking with some fellow social media haters the other day about how disturbing social media addiction is. Like a family member I visited, him and his partner were glued to Instagram almost the whole time I was there (several days) and was spouting stuff he ‘learned’ on Insta as fact. Yet I use Instagram (for a non-profit) and can’t stand that every 1-3 posts is an ad. It drives be bonkers.
This same family member and partner also refuse to let their kid be exposed to Tik Tok becauee they view it as unhealthy and addictive yet can’t recognise their own, honestly scary, addiction.
Or when I’ve stayed in shared accommodation at events seeing people around me wake up and immediately grab their phones and start doom scrolling.
