I'll always be able to play Balatro, Factorio, and he'll, I'd go to text based MUDs first.

    Way more even. Just look at emulation on Android, you can play good damn Sekiro on it by now.

    Even if they manage to take away our desktops, Smartphones become beautifully powerful and can be docked to TVs and all via USB-C easily.

    @Natanox They are very much hoping that people will fail to understand the difference between a phone/tablet and a PC. The difference is none, fundamentally, but phones are implemented to prevent you from installing anything they don't want you to install.At the moment, it is only difficult to do so, rather than extremely straightforward and easy like on a PC. If people stop buying real PCs, eventually the phones will indeed become "beautifully" powerful, in the sense that they will be the chains we wear, the means of social control. Do not be a fool.@Serinus

    We need to get MUDs more popular again. But that would require getting Telnet popular again.

    Can you fill me in on what that means? Searching for mud doesn't give me useful results.
