Last time I heard, he did different things with his Bill.

Have you tried https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ ?

Why talk if you haven’t read the comment you replied to until the end?

What puzzles you is the core of each campaign and highly depends on the layout of it.
You gotta try and if you fail, try a different approach.

Saving the game from time to time helps avoiding catastrophic failures without having to start from the beginning.

I haven’t and truth be told I wasn’t even aware of it.
Thank you for your support in wasting some more time with HOMM 🤗

Heroes of Might and Magic III, although I don’t think the game is bad.
What’s bad is that there’s really nothing new to it and yet from time to time I sink lots of hours into a new campaign.
It’s a kind of time machine bringing me back to more innocent times…
For the same reasons I need to beat some computer opponents in Broodwar on Big Game Hunters every once in a while.

Ok, let’s call it ‘taxable income’ then to have a basis of what is going to be taxed (more).

This is not about wealth though, but income instead.
I doubt those income millionaires can just leave New York and be better off than paying an additional 2% income tax while staying in NY.
In all likeliness they’d have much more net loss from leaving NY than from additional measly 2% tax.

Frankly said, whether they spend their money or not is their business. If they are involved in shenenigans like you described that needs to be regulated, because it sure looks like tax evasion.
And regarding the proposed tax (quoting the linked article): “The Millionaire Tax will impose an additional 2% income tax on the top 1% in NYC, who are earning over $1 million per year”.

So this tax in no way designed to tax their wealth, but merely their income by another measly 2%.
Nobody will become poor because of this. Some income millionaires just become slightly slower even more rich than they already are.

Have them move elsewhere and see whether they can keep their annual income in the millions there.
I, for one, am willing to call their bluff.

And once that is done, implement a wealth tax for the people who own x million USD.
To keep them from freaking out, it can be as low as 5% annually, because that would still allow them to generate a net increase of their wealth.
If they complain, increase the tax and start draining their fortune.

And even if some of them really move: is it worse them not paying taxes while not being there at all?
I don’t see the the core of their threat.

FWIW this is by far less dangerous and aggressive than oxygen, which caused the first global mass extinction when it started to amass in earth’s atmosphere (and plays a major role in the corrosion of iron you mentioned).
And yet people tell you to breathe in and out…

So just sink them.
Accidents happen.
Next please!

You’re unfortunately right that a Linux phone wouldn’t solve these problems and I’m with you that devs who bend the knee to Google have no interest in providing a Linux phone version - at least for the foreseeable future.
Once there’s a considerable market share for Linux phones (which may never be the case…), those users are potential customers and the tides will shift.
Until then it would at least provide a portable computer that can do a lot of the things current smartphones are capable of, but without the restrictions created by Google and Apple.

I have a more pessimistic view of bad scenarios.
Combine Google Play Integrity checks with being unable to install apps except they’re from the Play Store and you are at the whim of Google.
Right now I’m battling an app provider (of an app I rely on) who decided to start Play Integrity check shenanigans, although that’s in violation with their TOS. I know about not so great scenarios already. My alternative would be to cave and forfeit GrapheneOS, which I’m not willing to do.
We. need. Linuxphones!

I’m not saying I’m a fan of that, but at least Apple is upfront about the walled garden they offer and ever has been.
Google started differently, but turned around 180 degrees.

Bazzite made installing and running it on an HP Victus laptop with dedicated Nvidia GPU a breeze.
Does CachyOS handle dedicated Nvidia GPUs well?
Arch would be nice as base OS, too. Although I’m quite happy with my Fedora derivative.

I wasn’t aware of that.
Thanks for letting me know!

And what good is ‘sideloading’ (imo a loaded expression), if you can’t use your phone the way you want because of the Google Play Integrity crap that fails on custom ROMs?
Btw. I don’t think that the amount of F-Droid users are a rounding error, but I may be wrong.

Thank you!
That’s what I was hoping for, because I’m loving my Steam Deck for it (and Bazzite on my laptop too).

And that’s what gives (me) hope.
Were all as bleak as the rest, I’d hope for a hit by a meteor of the mass extinction event type.
…but there still is hope for change.
