In some languages, it's actually common to say US-American to clearly specify what is meant.

The EU demands that alternative app stores or individual users can do exactly that.

Apple disagrees.

That's precisely why this is back in court.

It being totally without rules or terms is exactly what the EU demanded.

Why would they need to comply with Apple's ToS to publish apps outside of the app store?

If they are sold as "replica swords", and the seller assumes this means "display piece" and the buyer assumes this means "larp-usable sword", the sale is null as no meeting of minds has happened.

Even if it is damaged or broken, you'd be able to return it for the full price, because you did not get what you were promised (at least in countries with legal warranty)

Then separate them into "replica sword" and "basically just a painting to hang in your living room" sections and lock the part that's useless in a display case.

You pay for something once you know what you're getting. If you don't know what you're getting, it can hardly be argued there was ever a meeting of minds. See the "The Peerless" case.

Even half an hour next to the PA without special ear plugs is enough to permanently harm your hearing.

Seriously, stop being an asshole. Coil whine is a well-documented behaviour that creates a loud, high pitched noise.

As coil whine is at the very limit of what human hearing can accomplish, it doesn't take much until you're unable to hear it. So you're likely too old or went to too many concerts to be able to hear it.

Good ears? the question is when, not where, and the answer is half a lifetime ago.

It's just like those shitty recipe sites that tell you their grandma's life story for hours before giving the recipe. Get to the point, who cares about the anecdotes of some writer?

I don't want to connect with everyone always everywhere. It's just like small talk, which may be acceptable or even essential in some cultures, while considering rude and wasteful where I'm from.

Not really. Avatar 1 revolutionised motion capture, which actually allowed Marvel's entire MCU to exist the way it did.

Avatar 2 improved that yet again, which we'll likely see in future superhero and scifi movies.

4 different "buy nitro" "try new animated stickers" "have you bought a new profile background yet?" popups at the same time are also ads.

Fast? Clean? The new app is a stuttery, cluttered mess with more ad popups than a 2010 video streaming site and more framedrops than crysis. Until a few days ago I still used the oooold app and it was much better.

Don't SteamVR tools work on linux as well? Not that it'd help in your situation, where you're stuck with proprietary GPU drivers and proprietary VR tools.

Why so? AMD supports Wayland just fine, while having good enough performance. As a VR dev, AMD still including a USB C port on GPUs should actually be even more convenient for you.

Considering that reading source code can take a long time

You'll get faster over time, until reading code is faster than reading documentation, as code will always represent what's truly happening, while docs are frequently outdated.

In a language the user isn't familiar with

If you're not that familiar with the language, it's likely you won't be contributing to the project. Open source projects usually to have quite limited resources, so they tend to optimize docs and dev UX for people who are likely to contribute.

Also note that even a dual boot system is leaky. A kernel level anticheat has enough power to do firmware upgrades on peripherals or the UEFI, so a badly behaving kernel level anticheat could easily take over your entire system in a way that can never be gotten rid of.

So how do you juggle having to see dozens of windows at the same time then?
