A disability joke that attacks Abbott from the right. Stay classy, friend.
You know that’s a satirical article, right?
Defund highways yesterday, and let’s build free public transit everywhere, but she’s right that regressive taxes aren’t the way to win the world we want. A wealth tax (or inheritance tax, or financial transactions tax, etc) would be far preferable. To miss that and adopt policies that exacerbate the cost of living crisis (even when they serve good goals) is to fail to understand the Yellow Vest protests and their lessons entirely.

Valve’s lockin is your Steam library not being portable. A better comparison is switching from iOS to Android, or better yet Xbox to PlayStation, and having to leave behind any apps or games you purchased on one platform.
I agree that interop would be the best solution. For a brief period, GOG had a program that granted free licenses for games you already owned on Steam, verified by linking accounts. That is what has to be available for the entirety of everyone’s libraries, prospectively even if not retroactively, for there to even begin to be a level playing field.
Not sure the problem is your sister, as much as it is your conflating the fediverse with Lemmy.

Get out of here with this “zero lockin” nonsense.
