No, they didn't. They explicitly said that you're free to not upgrade for now in the announcement.

They have a section in their TOS that says they can block you from using the printer if you don't upgrade, which sucks, but that is a generic clause, doesn't mean they'll make use of that here, and from their communication I don't suspect they will, at least for the time being.

I was referring to the "humanity will learn to stop electing Republicans" part, saying it's optimistic to expect them to ever do that regardless of what terrible things happen

That's optimistic

not a common feature in proprietary software

Just so you know, the GDPR mandates that you can at any time get a full export of all your personal data from anyone who's processing it in a common, machine readable format. It is laudable though to have that integrated as a feature in the software, rather than jumping through hoops contacting support etc.

Okay ich nehm's zurück, lol, jedenfalls für Berlin. Gerade wieder hier, und gefühlt ständig Verbindungsprobleme. Angeblich durchgängig voller 5G Empfang aber kommt kaum was durch

Edit: ich nehme die Zurücknahme zurück, nach einem Neustart des Handys ist alles fein. Keine Ahnung was da los war

Habe in den letzten Jahren in Ingolstadt, Münster und Gütersloh gelebt, nie Probleme gehabt. Bin regelmäßig in Berlin, auch da ist mir bisher nichts aufgefallen. Bahnhöfe haben bisher auch immer gut funktioniert

If you have a USB C to C cable handy, that's also going to work to charge other devices, loses less power to the transfer, is quicker, and also more convenient since you can keep using both phones. Of course you'll often not have a cable, but if you do it's probably gonna be the better option

Thank you, I appreciate it!

Why not simply say donation

It's about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying "Here's the software, we'll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it". It's an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.

In the end it's just a semantic difference, it's just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.

this tells me nothing about what the game will look like, or run like

I mean... This was the first trailer to stir up a bit of excitement for a game that has only just entered full-scale development. They probably don't even yet know themselves what it will look like and how it will run on what hardware. Expecting that kind of info at this point is unrealistic

I am pretty fortunate to live in a country with a functioning health care system. Couldn't imagine having to weigh my health against not losing income, as if dealing with the illness itself wasn't bad enough already

Yup, definitely. Just had it a couple of weeks ago - knocked out for three days, recovery slowly over a week or so.
