I mean you have to just be obliviously stubborn or ignorant to reality to not understand. Cause it’s really god damn simple.

It’s not simple to use the alternative foss software in most cases, it’s not simple to even find out about them in the first place, and people generally speaking arnt actually effected in any real meaningful negative way that they care about from their current solution.

It’s not complex.

So what your saying is it doesn’t rely on just one but two massive corps to actually deliver it’s product which is ment to be an alterative to those very products?

Total paid account is the number that gets counted. That’s what a subscriber is after all.

Palestine isn’t American, it’s some far off place that most people have no connection to, no care for or about. And people generally have enough fucking problems in their own life to care about a place they likely will die before visiting or giving two shits about. So beyond just being yet another random thing the news yaps about to keep people scared. It’s just not important to most people.

While Kimmel himself may not matter to many. The situation does directly affect the world and problem many Americans are worried about. It’s a literal representation of the turmoil that fills many Americans minds.

Not to mention Kimmel is a famous person that people know and have heard of. So his problem actually makes it to the ears of those that will resonate with the problem that his situation is in relation to.

You on the other hand are a literal nobody by comparison that no one but yourself and your immediate group will give any weight to your words.

Not to mention the hell does Palestine have to do with Disney…? That’s an extremely tenuous connection.

Its a shitty fact that just cause something’s important doesn’t mean people can care about it. We all have a limit, and if your own ducks arnt in a row worrying about others is a good way to drive yourself to madness and help no one.

But I am le tired

Yeah but consider,

Fuck this guy.

• the internet i guess

Rule 1 of McDonald’s it’s better everywhere in the world then America.

Uhh… Poe has helluva bot problem and has had countless cheats over the years.

Iv been playing since the original beta and man… If you haven’t seen cheats in Poe then you are either blind or actively don’t look around you.

This is the entire foundational point Gabe made with steam.

Hell I still get a chuckle when people bitch able steam “drm”. Since it’s entirely optional and can literally be turned off by just adding a text file with the steam ID in basically every case. If it’s even there to begin with

99% of the time the “drm” people bitch about is just the steam overlay dll crashing if steam is off. Cause you know trying to load something that’s off doesn’t really work.

You can literally just remove a single dll from like 95% of steam games and you have an entirely “drm” free game.

Silksong is a great example with how popular it’s been Iv seen thousands of people bitching moaning and crying about how it has drm on steam when it for a fact doesn’t. It just has the single dll so it can use the overlay. Just deleting the dll so it doesn’t load up the overlay and ta-da its fucking drm free.

Likely not, Amazon is a private market place and if their requirements to use it requires the drm his option is very likely use the drm or fuck off.

Not having good publicly controlled legal market places is one of the biggest failings of the internet.

Yep, I could pirate all my books and audio books if I wanted. All it would do is fuck over the author tho.

As much as I hate audible it’s the only legal choice I have for many of the books I listen to. Since basically every other legal option has out of the nearly 500 or so audio books I have less then 50 of them.

It’s annoying.

Binding arbitration tends to fail hilariously when it happens frequently enough to start costing more than just being sued which is weirdly common.

Just got to get enough people to force them into arbitration and just drain their money.

It is for all functional purposes the same thing.

If you don’t own and control it and someone else does and you have no power or ability to stop them

You don’t own it

To try to draw a line here is pointless in anything but a debate of technicalities and reality doesn’t care about those.

They are glorified toys to be blunt. Cellphones just require too much proprietary tech and licensing. Shits never goanna be viable as anything more than a hobbyist toy.

If you already use your phone as nothing more then a toy then it’s a easy switch. But most people don’t.

Damn reading is hard

Outside of aero and financial where it’s not uncommon for this to use 20+ year old tech.

If something isn’t hyper critical 15 is way too long

5 years for basic and 10 for lts seems fine. 10 years is a fucking long ass time.

50 dollar Thinkpad is in my closet to use razer drivers so I can edit the onboard memory of my mice once in a blue moon.

Since editing anything beyond the side buttons on Linux is literally impossible.

Finding a mouse with mouse wheel tilt, three side buttons and two extra top buttons that’s also fully mappable AND not some piece of actual fucking shit super light mouse is more or less impossible.

Fuck this trend of light ass mice.

Based hentai server. But honestly you fucked up, if you need IT support you need to head over to a yiff server. The furrys will be WAY more helpful.

People understand time.

People have no fucking idea how much their crap uses. So giving the watthour is literally pointless.

It’s a nice statistic to have.

But for cars, giving a cars range in watthours is like saying the road trip is 8.3 gallons of gas.

JUST TELL ME HOW LONG IT WILL TAKE TO GET THERE OR HOW FAR IT IS.
