You can resell, trade, give, lend a book you bought. You're just not allowed to do the same with any copies you've made. At least where I live

Just to be clear: my main point was that you don't own any more the game bought on GOG than on Steam.

And there are definitely upsides to this type of market.
Although nowadays I wouldn't buy a just released triple A 70€ game knowing I can't sell or give it (not that I play those much anymore). The games I actually want to keep a few and far between.
I buy second hand Switch games for my nephews. It's cheap, I'm actually giving them something, and they can trade them with their friends or sell them to buy fortnite skins the little shits

Again, not hating on GOG, I've been a customer for a long time. Mainly because I don't want any kind of launcher. I play 99% solo games, don't need no updates or multiple clicks to launch a game.

We were talking about legal offers. Are you legally the owner of your game.

Of course you can share, reproduce, pirate ... but that's not the point here.

Can you sell them? or trade, give, even lend them? My guess is you can't. And when I was a kid I did all those things.

It's not anedoctal IMO, but a change in paradigm. I'm not saying it's all bad. I buy games on GOG. But I don't own them really

A 2015 study in France showed 54% where more willing to buy a game when they knew they could sell them when done

Why are Piped or Invidious used here or in FreeTube? Aren't they serving the same functions?

Ikea rechargeables batteries have been tested and are amongst the best, especially for the price

projectfarm on youtube for a comparison

The menus are definitely busy and confusing (there are many options), but once it's set up I've never been bothered by the UI. I quite like how emails are shown OOTB in fact, with the right padding and day separation; I also use most buttons that are offered by default. So yeah, sane defaults.

Off the top of my head what I like:

  • you can search emails on the server! That's the one feature I couldn't forgo
  • it detects unsubscribe links
  • I remember having delays when using K9, with FairEmail not once. This could be fixed now
  • it cleverly shows you're connected to a VPN (which can be a problem with emails)
  • maybe too many options, but a lot are actually useful

Not trying to say it's better, to each their own. But it's great.

edit: I received an email at 06:19 in fairemail. it's now 06:56 and I just received it in thunderbird

It installs the packages directly from the respective github repos

Or you mean vetting the apps themselves and not the packages?
