Ubisoft will delete your account if you haven't logged for some time (Even if you owned games in it) (gamerant.com)

Ubisoft claims they do not want their players to lose access to their accounts but it’s pretty clear they do want to (so they can repurchase probably), otherwise they would not implement such feature 🤷...

I never buy anything related to Ubishit. That company is the combination of greed, laziness, and bad decisions.

If the state does not protect them, they may as well become the state.

As an Indian person, you definitely also know that Indian officials are highly corrupted! It’s something world-famous (or infamous?)

I think you seem to have a particular dislike for a type of post. Just a wild guess

Please don't repeat the same mistake as Linux

The main reason for the Linux operating system not seeing widespread adoption is because of its multitude of distros. Ubuntu, Debian, Arch, Mint… there are just so many choices, just like how when someone asks how to join the Fediverse people will response with “which instance?”...

mathlad OP ,

Of course I don’t want Threads. I’m just saying the user is being bombarded with information at the first step, which is bad product design.

mathlad OP ,

Google has a monopoly on search, Youtube has a monopoly on videos and that helps aggregating interesting contents and users towards the product. Social media platforms thrive on user growth. I had Linux as a daily driver also (until it badly messed up my ssd), but customer support and friendliness are definitely limited parts about Linux that scare people away.

mathlad OP ,

I would agree too, and I think you said it better than me. Fediverse’ instances IS its strong point, but also a double-edged sword if not presented well.

mathlad OP ,

It maybe better to not refer new users as newbies. People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS. Why is MacOS successful? Because it is easy to use and is a complete products with few bugs. I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.

mathlad OP ,

Are we being overly anal about semantics here? I never said kde is a distro. I just said I used Ubuntu, as in the pure Ubuntu from Canonical, and before that Kubuntu, or Ubuntu with the Plasma Desktop environment KDE. There, it has been a long time since I last used them so I did not remember the name Kubuntu.

Also MacOS is popular because its users don’t have to care that it is a Unix system. You basically just repeated my point. I have never been an Apple fan (my phones were all Android phones), but, well, “it just works” anyone?

mathlad OP ,

well, no, not really. Just regular web usage and occasional gaming on Steam…

Having been working around with a Raspberry Pi for my class, I can’t imagine just randomly throwing mine somewhere without giving a care. Those bitches are too damn expensive 😂
