They realized that most people will just cave and not actually go through the hassle of Defending themselves in court, so therefore why not

it's still practical to block them, twitch has adblockers and uses the same mechanics, if there's a client rendered element(such as a pop up box that can be clicked) it's detectable and therefor skippable or at the very least hidable.

I didn't know he died, guess that makes sense why I stopped hearing his name all the time

rokus will DoS your DNS servers if you block their telemetry, I had to disable most logging on my pihole due to that because I was getting 2 or 3 gigs worth of DNS daily logging which was almost fully the sole roku Premier upstairs. It's so bad.

paralives is so slow development though, and the lack of teaser releases concerns me about the quality. I have high expectations for it as well but starting to grow concerned

having ADHD and trying to read this entire post, what a wonderful combo

it's not a copyright/dmca claim, they are claiming they are violating a patent of some kind, so it's not visuals or names, I'm curious if it will be a ball object that captures them, cause like if so that's so broad that it shouldn't be able to be patented

fully agree, my signature is different every time I sign, my penmanship sucks so I never have it the same, I've never been questioned on it, likely due to the fact I don't have a natural signature

I don't like videos either tbh, but I would be ok with posts that are properly identified, so like [video] [news] [opinion] etc lol

yea and when that happens I just cancel, then I can worry about all the ad blocking and stuff, but currently it's worth it for me

I agree that it's a great investment, and it will definitely get people on board for if the platform really takes off. I think they're definitely assuming that the majority of their people who pay the $400 aren't going to remain on the platform which is probably a safe bet, once they get somewhat established and have content that's more for the everyday person, I would probably recommend converting the lifetime license over to an extended long-term subscription.

So like a subscription that lasts five six years at like the price of 3 years of the monthly subscription price, I know if YouTube offered something like that I 1,000% would buy it in a heartbeat because I know that YouTube will still be around in that time frame and it's a no-brainer cuz I use it daily,

That being said if they did end up having a significant amount of people that are still using the lifetime subscription, they may revert to adding features to the monthly subscriptions like how Discord does that entice you to switch to a new plan with a retroactive sub and then you just can't switch back again.

This should be correct yes, as long as you don't include code that was added after the license change you should be in Clearwater.

Technically speaking I don't think it's allowed for him to have changed the license to a more restrictive license in the first place because he didn't rewrite the entire project when he did so which means it's still containing code that under the license terms are supposed to be open indefinitely, but if you want to avoid all that drama you can just play it safe and Fork the version prior to him editing the license

Personally speaking now this isn't going to stop the people that he's trying to avoid that hassle with, because I don't think he has legal ground because I don't think the license change was within the allowed terms of his license in the first place

a retail license doesn't even prompt that, just sign in with your MS account and bobs your uncle, that's how I manage all of my VM stuff I just sign into my primary Microsoft account and it automatically activates, I'm sure one of these days it's going to hit a Hidden activation limit but I'm not really sure how Windows works with that, I don't change vm's all that often.

My main bottleneck for swapping fully off of dual booting is the annoyance when it comes to trying to configure GPU pass through with KVM, I would definitely be using that virtual machine for gaming on the few games that no longer work using proton but like it's such a pain in the butt to set up, that and for the duration of me having to transfer the system I basically need to have twice the amount of disk space because I need to clone that data over to an image before being able to free up the partitions

Man that post is about three or four paragraphs too long to be any Microsoft form advisor post.

Usually it's a "Welcome to the forum, please run an update and sfc /scannow and try safe mode then clean install" then ghosting when you update saying it doesn't work

What's the point of sfc /scannow if it's going to require an installation media to use, isn't that the point of a recovery partition? Does Windows just not ship with that Anymore?

I had to read the title a few times myself, it's long and most of it could go into the body

tails is a great tool for privacy I always found it more clunky to use sadly, but it's use case as a no log no track style is is amazing. Just don't try to use it with anything that uses external storage, it has a cow.

they are so obnoxious, my grandfather's phone is filled to the brim with them, I have never seen a campaign send as many fucking spam texts as his campaign does it is ridiculous, my grandfather is hard blue and they are just relentless with the "Trump demands your support now!" and "DONATE TO THE CAUSE, DON'T LET THE LEFTIST HARRIS RUIN DEMOCRACY" it's so fucking annoying, you can't even opt out as they just blatantly ignore it. He gets more red based texts then blue lmao

The lifetime access option shouldn't exist for an app like that, not unless they have another primary form of income (usually ads). That type of service costs a lot of money to host and if you have a user base that does a one off purchase you stop having a good chunk of that income relatively fast

That's just the main red flag I see from that, I would be super hesient starting on a platform that isn't self sustaining and doesn't have a parent company willing to chuck money at it "till it works" like Google did

not gonna lie, a little envious that your family knows how to install from apk, that would be my first bottleneck. They would hit the first scare screen and raise the white flag
