Fair, but cartridges cost real money to produce. Disks cost pennies. Publishers used to do much cheaper “collection edition” when a popular game was reprinted after the initial run, but that doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.

Digital distribution is free, but there are frequent sales at least (except Nintendo)

The modern concept of race was invented in 1684 by this guy:

It’s been utter bullshit from the start

very fast, especially considering how underpowered they were on paper

Posted from my:

• Blackberry Passport :)

jk

I’ve had iPhones, Oneplus phones, and a Pixel since. The Blackberry was the best experience overall.

The Blackberry Passport was the best smartphone I ever used:

• Blackberry Hub let you manage texts, emails, whatsapp/messaging apps, and facebook/social media messages all from the same app, accessible at any time by swiping from the left side of the screen

• You could sideload and run Android apps for anything that didnt have a Blackberry native app

• The physical keyboard was also a touchpad

Nothing new here. E2E is only available in one on one chats and is disabled by default. Dont use Telegram if privacy is your main concern.

At least it has an open-source client. Very few messaging platforms can say that, and fewer have a decent UX.

It’s not perfect, but it’s got a good combination of features and multi-platform availability. None of the other messaging apps support all of my devices except Matrix, and Matrix doesn’t have stickers

Edit: Signal doesn’t support all my devices but maybe someday! The network effect is also big. None of my family and friends are on Signal, but most have Telegram. A few have Matrix.

Also Signal is a US-based company.

Edit 2: Matrix does have stickers, i guess I’m switching
