Can't be all that much of it going towards features considering how profitable Valve is.

When you examine the US auto manufacturers, they have nothing to offer for the majority of consumers in the EU.
Yeah, they've shot themselves entirely in the foot. Used to be every other car was a Ford Sierra, then later Ford Mondeo... Opel was pretty big, but GM sold them so now it's a Stellantis brand and Stellantis is more French/Italian than American...
Still, there's market for muscle cars and trucks. And Teslas in recent history, but probably no longer.
If neither apply to you, then there’s no reason to ever use Windows.
I'm sure someone somewhere has found software they need that doesn't work with Wine. Solidworks, a bunch of Adobe shit, etc. Oftentimes the free alternatives just aren't quite there yet, even though they exist.
KDE has a GUI app called Discover that will do Flatpaks as well as other package management systems. It shows me RPM packages that I normally update with zypper
I think that's actually a then keyword
Y'know, from back when it was common for languages to do if foo then baz
I hear the French usually program in French as well. I do not want to ever work in France.
Because as soon as you propose spending billions of dollars on defending another country, people will generally say "but I don't wanna pay more taxes or lose out on any comforts", which causes you to lose your position of power in case of a democracy. It all comes down to selfishness in the end.
Well, there are some in the EU who are hoping to bargain with Trump so that we reduce our import taxes on American cars (US has them at 2.5%, we have them at 10%, so we've been doing exactly what Trump is trying to do, at a smaller scale), buy more weaponry from them and as the US ramps up its' gas production, we could buy more of that from them as well - if Trump in return does not put 25% tariffs on everything made in the EU.
It's not a bad deal for either side, really, though it sorta defers the whole making more of our own weaponry part of trying to be more independent of the US. And I'm sure both the automakers and MIC would do what's in their power to persuade Trump to take it.
Military Industrial Complex
Our leaders have been too complacent, for what I think is a simple reason: It's easier to depend on the Americans so your own national budget doesn't take a hit and cause you to lose the next election.
Now that we've seen that the US is an unreliable ally and (rightfully) wants to reduce its' own military aid spending, they're hopefully seeing the bigger picture.
Oh I'd just throw in a bunch of big freeleech torrents and it'd take me 3 minutes to achieve saturation. The upkeep might be difficult though
They also don't wanna pay money. People who know Cobol want to be paid money in exchange for their services.
