You think very hard about a very small portion of requirements which you can deliver in a small amount of time.
You write a User Story (a written description of the requirements from the perspective of a user) with domain experts and stakeholders, then you show that tiny little piece of functionality to your client. Did they like it? Great, you can mkve on to another small little piece. Did they not like it? Then you discuss what should change, them change it until they like it.
Agile is about doing getting feedback as early as possible so that you can know very fast if you're going the right way.
There is no DRM on GOG. You can just download the offline installer, then install it even without an internet connection. It will never ask you to go online because it doesn't need to check anything.
That's why we need a remodel of the economy to go along with it. The only way to stop the creation of more "rich" is to get rid of capitalism altogether.
If I tell you I'm your god and you should give me all your money or you won't go to heaven, you will rightly call me a liar, even though you can't really prove that I'm not.
You won't say "oh I guess there's no way to prove he's not god, so I'd better give him my money".
In science, the default stance on something existing is that it doesn't, unless there's solid proof, or at least a compelling scientific theory suggesting that it does.
Steam is a ticking time bomb but mostly for the reason that you don't own the games you purchase there and you can't back them up (mostly) so when Steam decides to ban your account or just closes down, you lose all of your games forever.
More people should push for DRM-free games with offline installers, like GOG and Itch offer.
A step in the right direction would be no pointless MTX, as plenty of other games are doing right now. There are no microtransactions in my copy of Days Gone, for example. Nor are there any in Horizon: Zero Dawn.
And even if it's the popular thing to do, that is not an excuse to let them get an inch. "Oh, but he only beat you a little!"...
I’m watching both of these shows in their entirety and I don’t know why they’ve historically gotten so much backlash. One reviewer called TBL “a dumpster fire of a TV show” and others seem to think M6L is downright abusive. However, I can’t find anything particularly bad in either....
One reason is the more you're forced to work, the less energy, and, more importantly, time you have for preparing healthy meals. Therefore you're more likely to go with preprocessed, prepackaged meals or straight fast food which will make you fat fast.
I've got a relatively cushy job and cook my own, relatively healthy meals but even I find myself going for that store-bought pizza when I have a particularly busy week.
Moreover, unhealthy, preprocessed meals are basically drugs in terms of the dopamine hit, so you're more likely to go for them if your life sucks and you're sad about it.
Add to that the lack of education on healthy eating, which I'd bet is easier to come by when you're at least middle class and bam, you're a fat poor person.
