Sony and Microsoft say bad luck we are doing it anyway, and we know you will still buy our consoles.

Possible, but "texas" "left" "chinese propaganda" ...given another paragraph I would have expected you to start selling trump bibles

Streaming always seemed like a daft idea to me, part of that no doubt is using the internet back when it was dial up and it made no sense to even wait for a picture to load, but streaming always seemed likely to lead to control issues, which is why so many people are (appropriately) whining about subscriptions and dodgy companies now.

The media I download is generally just deliberately 1080p, mainly watched on a 50" tv. I rarely have any quality issues with it, but I am not chasing numbers, and apparently I am not particularly fussy either.

I'm reminded of when dvds were first appearing and they used to market them on vhs, stating 'this is how amazing this looks on dvd' ....but they were showing it on vhs. People still got excited though... weird creatures.

Unless you are benchmarking, or chasing numbers, posing, or using over the top infrastructure (super large tv, projector etc) there is an easily reached quality point that is more than good enough for most people.

proton is greenwashing for those interested in privacy.

I was previously a customer, walked away from a 2 year subscription that still had about 18 months left on it.

It sounds like you don't know what the left is, you are clearly from the USA, the democrats are right wing, marketed as left, you live in a duopoly con.

"Chinese propaganda" ...no wonder the USA is such a toilet bowl, you zombies so eagerly buy into your own racist propaganda.

Gapps is an extra step. The developers state that the os itself is not degoogled, regardless of how many other people say it is. I assume the devs are correct, but that for most users lineageos is 'degoogled enough'

Their subreddit. I use lineageos, the devs have a lot of attitude and repeatedly take issue with people claiming it is degoogled, even without the inclusion of gapps, they state that lineageos is not degoogled.

My main phone is lineage os with gapps, my no sim/wfi only (older) phone is lineageos without gapps, or microg (which I haven't looked into yet). I only started using lineageos a couple of months ago, which is why their reddit posting is familiar to me.

Interesting, not something i have heard of before, but definitely something I need to look into.

I emulate older console games, and assume there is the possibility that they are all I will be able to access one day.

That is the real issue. Physical media is just a waste of resources, we should be past that by now.

Lineage devs say otherwise, repeatedly.
