The first couple of years were dogshit but then again so was a lot of things back then. It was the infancy of contents distribution networks, bandwidth was insanely expensive.
For a multi-billion dollar company with a somewhat-dominant market position, I'd say they're pretty fucking good. They're to PC gaming what Netflix did to broadcast TV, without the enshitification. Steam made games available globally, when it was a hard and expensive task to get the bloody originals on CD/DVD in many countries, which forced most people into piracy because it was the only way. Because of Steam I stopped pirating games, too. I say it's fine.
My Steam profile is 22 years old and I've been gaming on PC since the early 80s.
I'm over 50 and I sail the high seas. I can afford all the streaming services and even used to pay for them... until the price hikes and now the ads, so fuck them. I also never pay full price for my games.
All that money now goes to paying artists on BandCamp and a few Patreon accounts that make me happy.
I got permabanned from reddit for "harassment" by a mod whose decision I appealed because they had obviously misunderstood a term in a particular context. First they banned me from the sub and after appealing they got me banned altogether.
I had another account permabanned for denouncing war crimes.
It depends on your riding position and what kind of roads you're riding on and at what speeds. If you're planning on doing long stretches of highway (yuk), you'll want wind pressure relief pretty quickly. Smaller windshields tend to protect your torso and leave your head in the flow, some do almost nothing and some shield you so well you can ride in the rain without getting wet, while listening to music. From experience, the wind pressure gets to you after a while and your neck will hate you. You also want to remember that air resistance increases at the square of the speed, you're quickly fighting a lot of pressure!
Not just a drone, a drone with explosives targeted at a Ukrainian Antonov cargo plane.
It's ygg [dot] gratis and it's now free.
Also, American cunts have guns.
Problem is remote workers are all over the place in as many jurisdictions. Unless you're part of a national union it's gonna make things difficult.
I want this so bad, I have lost all cartilage in my wrists and I don't want to get them fused.

Absolutely, if you're not at the table then you don't have your say about the menu... because you're a servant.
I got banned from subs for mentioning Lemmy too. They hate it.
Anything remotely controversial tends to get removed or buried these days.
I wonder how much carbon is released by the burning refineries and oil depots in Russia, Iran, UAE, etc.
Wilfires are for the most part happening naturally while the rest not so much.
But hey let's make a diversion.

"Fuck America" has been my policy since I've been old enough to make financial decisions. I'm angry we're stuck with them for CPUs.
Got my entire office banned that way. People have to work now.
Just gave me an idea for a 3D-printed media player. Thx :)
I mean, do female astronauts/cosmonauts regularly float naked in the space station?
Do yourself a favor and visit the Borromean islands on Lago Maggiore...

Oh, well.
