I'm not gonna try and tell you it's perfect. But as someone from Québec who needed an emergency surgery mid-lockdown, I was able to see multiple doctors, spend a night at the hospital, got examined in every way necessary and received said surgery, along with morphine for the following days... And basically didn't see a damn bill. I had to wait a long time in the ER at first. Until it got worse they just told me to be patient. But from the quick estimates I did, this would've cost me maybe 10-15k$ in the US. Best case scenario. Scenario in which I then have to deal with an insurance company that bitches and moans about having to fulfill its part of the deal. And then of course they'd increase my premiums.

You wouldn't be distributing anyone's copyrighted material. If anything, this is the safest and simplest route to avoid dealing with music or API licenses.

Why not just have a "radio" folder where players can drop MP3 or OGG files?

So they're just full-on saying that they'll be using an open-source engine's code to clear out 90% of the work for their next 50+$ "engine"? That's legal I guess, but it'll be 'classy' as hell if they don't contribute back some code. I wonder if they did so for Coco2D.
Edit: They open-sourced Pixel Game Maker MV under the MIT license after its sales died down, for what it's worth.

Even in their case, the phrasing within their patent form is fairly specific to their games. Unless one completely clones the system, I would be surprised if they got legal trouble for it. Better to check with a qualified lawyer of course.

Three meats with some hot sauce (Like red hot, sriracha or spicy tomato salsa) on top in thin crust. But pizza is pizza.

... I'm a little sad this isn't an actual community.

No, but not providing them with personal information like one's email, address, name, phone number or social media accounts, and not screaming "I live within # km of xxx!" by accessing their website with your actual IP address? That kinda helps. Plus, they're definitely blocking any reports made from out of state at this point.

"Didn't used to".

Yeah, I've been on Plasma 6 with my Manjaro Unstable desktop. Not a terrible experience and I've yet to encounter an AUR package giving me problems, aside from outdated ones. Honestly, I've given Endeavour OS a try on my laptop and will be switching it back to Manjaro when I find the time. It's a fine distro, but it feels like it tries to give you an excuse to "bust out the terminal" once in a while... Which isn't my thing anymore.

Deleted my Facebook account twelve years ago. I recently got an Instagram account under a fake name and with a spare email purely to exchange memes and funny videos with my girlfriend, but beyond that I avoid anything made by that company. Especially their hardware. Anything Meta Quest exclusive doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.
