I’ll admit this part did go a bit over my head.
It’s referring to a strategy more commonly called ‘triple e’ or ‘embrace, extend, extinguish’ pioneered by Microsoft in the late 90’s. The gist of it was that MS would adopt open standards and create proprietary extensions to the standard that were only usable on their platform. This would break the ability of users of non MS software to communicate with those in Microsoft’s ecosystem and push users off those platforms.
Njalla is pretty nice.
Battle for Wesnoth is really good.
Oh my God, they’re bringing back clippy.
