Now read your comment again, slowly.

I came here to post just this.

That GDC talk just showed up on my YouTube frontpage this morning and I watched it. And now I check HN and here we are.

Seems like ultimately they aren't actually able to track us as well as they claim.

The amount of people that to this day still default to OpenOffice and have either never heard of LibreOffice or think it's the same as OpenOffice is crazy making though.

It's the Internet. Just assume they are American unless otherwise specified.

Instead of making it work with Discord, built it around xmpp with as many of the same niceties that discord offers and get yourself a working alternative on an open, powerful protocol, fully FOSS.

People want to get away from closed, centralised applications. The sentiment is the strongest it's ever been. But they don't have compelling and working enough alternatives to do so.

If you are wondering about the capabilities, Stardew Valley was made in MonoGame.

I wonder how it compares, if at all, with Godot nowadays.

And what's the truth?

I mean, ignoring the fact that it's one example versus a list of examples I posted, I still don't think Debian website is that bad. I remember how it used to be, when it had a link to get the CDs with the distro and the option of getting all the packages in the package manager repository. Debian evolved like everybody else.

To me, and of course this is personal, Debian website looks pretty professional in an enterprise-y kind of way. I quite like it.

But then again, it's one example. Hell, even OpenSUSE's website looks super slick and modern.

That has not been the case for quite a long time now. Lots of distros still have websites that look like a wiki, see Arch. But in their case the Arch wiki is one of the best wikis ever existed for what it covers.

If you look at modern yet established distros, I struggle to find the outliers that don't have professional looking, slick web pages. See all the *buntus, Fedora, Elementary OS, Cachy OS, Bazzite, Endeavour, Manjaro, Linux Mint, and so forth.

I'm not posting this as an endorsement. I'm posting this because I'm curious of what HN thinks about this, and if anybody is aware of any issues with it.
