The initiative start with the game “the crew”, where ubisoft shut down the servers and you can’t even play singleplayer. The argument is that your product can be removed without your consent. The counter-argument is that it is not a product, it is a license.

The best possible outcome is that developers be required to keep games playable if they don’t want to maintain it anymore,by either updating the game to work offline or providing lan/private server capabilities.

It might just end up being a warning when buying the game like “this is a license, not a product: access may be revoked at any time”

Problem is you can’t trust anything. The fancy $2k machine might just be fancy in name. You don’t know if stuff is good before it starts not being. And reviews don’t help, because they won’t test a product for 5 years to check durability before posting

This slap question was a big meme several years ago, and when that video came out (years after the meme), it was an instant hit.

Yeah, the tariffs are way less important than this. I’m planning a trip and I’ll be taking a longer, more expensive route just to not land in the US. For a connection (which you require a full visa for)

There was on android, but they removed it. Gave me a real headache when I needed to flash a sd card and the only reader was the one on the phone

Anyone willing to pay a billion dollars to keep a secret secret, is also willing to kill someone who does not take the billion dolar bribe

Good stuff, always good to do these small repairs. I had something similar this week too, I found and replaced a rubber ring in a cabinet door, just knowing I spent basically nothing instead of replacing the whole door felt great

“somedays I don’t even eat”

Mf getting all their calories from OJ

You have a lot of faith in people’s logic level. Most people read at 6th grade level. There is a person saying “I think this”, do you really think everyone in there thought “I’m completely unaware of what the deceased thought”

Their job is to enforce, through violence, whatever people in power want enforced

I would guess you wouldn’t be able to see it anywhere, like the gaza documentary that won the oscars.

Remember that access to entertainment is controlled by the same group of people the movie would speak against

They just don’t want to support it to save dev time/money

I knew half of the answers would be “just use linux”

Spotube uses your spotify library, but gets the audio from youtube

I knew exactly what it meant before, but it didn’t make sense until now
