rent implies a continued fee though - i’m not sure a once off fee to play a game that can be rendered useless at any time covers that? rent would be more like $10/mo rather than $100 for as long as the game is available
not to mention apparently there have been recent studies that predict the deorbiting of all the satellites is going to have drastic climate effects
i feel like this makes it on par with eg newpipe right? since newpipe doesn’t have a server, so all requests are direct to youtube
people seem to be okay with the fingerprint trade-off… and a vpn (as in, an external vpn that invidious routes all traffic through) would help with that
Labour (with a u since it’s a proper noun from the UK) is named after trade unions; they’re the progressive party
i’d like to introduce you to your new best friend: reset… it doesn’t everything clear does and a LOT more
does ARM still have better battery life when all of the machine code has to be translated from x86
afaik macos/rosetta is more efficient than native windows/x86, but that could be down to OS integration, or any number of confounding factors… i’d suggest though that x86 windows applications sometimes run better and more efficiently on alternative platforms, even with the translation layers - whether that’s down to the instruction set or a combination of factors
afaik the anti cheat they added is one that’s known to work with linux, but you do have to do some extra stuff… i think valve worked with them to ensure it works on deck, and are probably now working through the steps with rockstar to ensure it’s as easy as possible for them
once you lay deep sea cable, afaik you don’t really touch it again… it’s better to just lay another one
i never said they were equivalent. i said there was a line; to say that they’re equivalent is disingenuous and to say that killing a chicken is the same as killing a human is equally so - not advocating either way, but they are different things
original comment still stands:
I'm not sure it's devil's advocate: I work with computers for 40 hours a week. There's no way that I want to put any effort into a computer in my personal time
this is not linux and android. this is apple
in the context of this comment - not putting any effort into a computer - customisation and workarounds are irrelevant
killing for culinary pleasure is extremely fucked up
i’d argue that that’s simplistic
people all have a line; vegans included… we kill yeast to make bread, and people are fine with that. there’s a line between yeast and humans, and we all draw it somewhere… which is to say nothing about the difference between vegetarian and vegan
having a conversation about morals is fine; passing judgement on someone for their alternative views on where the line is is what most people don’t like
totally agree, but also you can do more with an electron-like app - elevated privileges, less sandbox, etc because the user expects such things from an installed “native” app
are you sure?
there could be thousands just waiting for a failure to come out and say “HEY THIS IS DODGY”
you’re completely right, but only bank sanctions are relevant to the majority of people, and really are bank sanctions relevant to most people?????
however, that wasn’t the point you were making in your original comment
why don't they get those other rights with enfranchisement?
ton of death machine?
because that endangers others too
Drinking age?
because alcohol negatively effects development
Age of consent for sex
because teenagers have sex anyway; making it illegal would only be harmful
there are no distros or combinations of software that come close to what mac/iphone/apple tv provide even WITH effort; let alone without. they have other benefits, but ease of integration is not one of them
