Now that I think about it, the decline of ubuntu began when they inserted amazon affiliate links in their ui a long time ago. The final straw for me is forcing snaps when attempting to install some apps via apt. I replaced all my ubuntu machines with debian without any issue.
When reddit fuck up again, the alternatives are already pretty mature, at least compared to last year. Back then the only app we have was jerboa (and it was pretty shitty back then too, unlike now). Now we have gazillion of lemmy apps that can suit everyone taste.
I never heard of consumer apps doing this. I'm not familiar with foundry, but it seems their target audience are companies? Cracking hard on companies that use unlicensed copy is very common in b2b world. Microsoft, Oracle, etc all doing this to companies, threatening to "audit" them when they detect unlicensed uses from the company's ip address.
There is a possibility that the game actually has a hidden "production mode" where it allows offline play. Make sense though because the game developers must be able to run the game during production where the server hasn't been up yet. Research into the possibility of reenabling this mode in retail build seems to be losing steam though. Looks like it picked up some steam again: https://steamcommunity.com/app/241560/discussions/0/4306075118785997064/
This is probably hardware-specific, but I installed void linux on my thinkpad x1 last week, and it can't shutdown or wake up from sleep until I disabled tpm 2.0 from bios. Very weird. Other distros I tried so far didn't have this problem.
This phone seems to have the biggest external display compared to other flip phones. So it's completely usable with just the external display? No issue with apps when used from the external display (other than being small)? Can you type and reply to messages and place calls from the external display?
