I've recently hit a very similar problem. There's various problems with the web components (like he mentions) and I wanted a better way to write plain html with components. I ended up making a tiny python build script to process fake html components into proper HTML: https://github.com/shminge/builder
I've designed it for myself, deliberately to work around the flaws with web components mentioned. It hugely speeds up my process of writing pages for my blog (after trying everything, I've ended up just writing plain html) because I can define a component that holds all the boilerplate of the page (header, css, etc) and then write my pages as `<pagelayout> <p> body content here </p> </pagelayout>` and have that be expanded into proper valid HTML
One of my favourite quotes on this topic:
> Using ChatGPT to write an essay is a bit like using a forklift to lift weights. The forklift might do a perfectly good job of moving around some heavy iron plates, but you’d be wasting your time.
The point of writing essays (or doing any other school assessment) is not the completed product, it's the work (and hopefully learning) that went into it.
You can definitely use AI responsibly, but many students will not and do not.

There's a big difference between "Here's this tool that helps you think" (ie calculator or pen) and "Here's this tool that does the thinking for you". And before you say that AI can fall under the first option, plenty of schoolchildren will take the easy way out and not use it responsibly.
How can we ensure that if we legislate the games industry, then we also legislate all other industries with no special carve outs? That would make me much more supportive.
So your argument is that you won't support Stop Killing Games, but you'll support Stop Killing Things In General?
That's a strange stance. Even if that was your position SKG has a good opportunity to act as a stepping stone towards something grander.
Ok, so your idea is that we will require all companies to release server and client builds, and also the source code as well (?), at some clearly defined point in the future, if they decide to terminate the live service?
Will we also require the same of the smart fridge companies? Will we also require the same of companies that don't sell live services, such as toilets?
If I buy a smart fridge and the company that made them suddenly decided to turn them all off, then I'd definitely like the ability to turn mine back on, yes.
And no, there's no expectation of source code. That's been covered many times.
Talk about strawman, it's literally "I paid for something I don't like, there should be a law!" And you're comparing it to poison gas
>... it's literally "I paid for something I don't like, there should be a law!"
It's much more like "I paid for something, there should be a law so no one can take what I've paid for"
I feel... uneasy about the idea. Are games art?
If so, are you comfortable telling artists what types of art they can create? I know not everyone is going to agree with me here but it feels like a slippery slope.
Would any art gallery pay for a piece that the artist could walk in and take away whenever they wanted?
This isn't so much about art, more about what you deserve when you pay money for something. People are still free to make whatever they want.
In particular, I love how you select text/blocks in Notion and how every line is a "block". I really wish other editors did that as well. In fact, it's probably the main reason why I haven't moved away from Notion.
I'm a strong proponent of File over App: who knows how long Obsidian or notion will exist - at least I know I can work with my Obsidian notes as long as text editors exist
