I said don't buy AAA games, so of course don't buy AAAA games ;)

You get automatic patches, DLC support long after release, etc. though.

Like the old model wasn't perfect either.

Just don't buy AAA games that insist on their own launchers, DRM and anti-cheat, etc.

The DMA is a good thing helping to stop monopoly positions, not all regulation is bad, but it's not all good either.

Whereas the AI act is entrenching monopolies by making it much harder for startups and Open Source AI to function in the EU.

They abandoned a lot of the Free Speech stuff - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union#Waning_interest_in_defending_white_supremacists'_first_amendment_rights

Obviously I don't support white supremacists, but they've stepped away from being defenders of the constitution in that respect. Same for defending those not using certain pronouns, etc.

Check out the Nand2Tetris course on Coursera for building your own Java too.

Wasn't the bigger controversy about law enforcement and intelligence agencies buying it to bypass the need for warrants?

With that budget I find it hard to imagine you could beat the Raspberry Pi, but please post what you do find!

They're awesome, but I feel like it'll go the way of the ACLU eventually.

Like nowadays on Reddit you see a lot of support for all the bureaucratic regulation like the AI act, Cybersecurity act, etc. empowering Big Tech monopolies and Big Government control over start-ups and tinkerers.

The EU's AI Act isn't far from this really. Regulating the development of AI so much, it'd be like if they regulated compilers to stop GNU back in the day.
