Nein?

He wants a percentage of profit for usage of registered trademarks

I’m on top of things when I have the time to be informed at work. I’m not doing all research after hours and might not always have time for it at work, so sometimes we too are rather reactionary.

Preach. Got a benz from 2009 that has all the features I want (heated seats, automatic climate control, rain sensor, etc) and none of the things I don’t want (remote connectivity, spyware, subscriptions).

electric robotaxis can help reduce co2 emissions and decrease the total amount of cars. This is good.

the 35-44 year olds skew the data quite heavily. In that age it’s dangerous for women to have kids so over 50% of them saying no makes sense.

microsoft need it just as much if not more. Hope it happens to both.

Opensuse is a very good and somewhat underrated choice imo

I agree.

They’re a for-profit company, ubuntu pro is supposed to entice business customers. You and I get introduced, because canonical hope that we might use ubuntu profesionally and they gain a new customer. I don’t hate it personally, but I see why people don’t like it.

It’s free for personal use though. Canonical have turned ubuntu rather corporate, but let’s stick to the facts.

Graphene is custom developed specifically for the security hardware features of pixel phones

running “winget install firefox” in an elevated powershell gets you a better browser without ever opening edge. but then you still cannot uninstall it and all the other shit about it still stays active.

Malware disguised as legitimate software getting served as ads.

Just a few months ago people were shown faked websites for obs studio when searching for the original. They should vet whose ads they’re serving instead of just certifying certain corporations.

this is a good idea to hotfix a stupid problem.

I’m not saying that lgbtq characters cannot play prominent roles, I’m saying that people will roll their eyes if being lgbtq is their primary attribute.

It cannot be front and center and normal at the same time. It cannot be the main part of a character’s identity, else it will always be perceived as “special” and “extra”, but not “normal”. Devs can make whatever game with whatever chars they want ofc, but the result is what we’re seeing with ubisoft.

I’m just ranting at this point.

funny, given that most gamers seem to agree with me, according to sales numbers. Noone wants this shit in games. Perhaps we’re not the problem.

Yup.

Bullshit. Normalization means not making a big deal out of it, which goes contrary to the woke standard of putting it front and center.

Because things like black protagonists with hip-hop music in the background make no sense in a feudal japanese setting and people are sick of games being abused as vehicles for morality preaching.

An example from borderlanfs two could be Sir Hammerlock, who was introduced as a normal (for borderlands) character early on and later in a side quest was revealed to be gay in passing. That’s the kind of ‘representation’ you want for lgbtq to be “normalized”. In modern games, his story would be one of struggle against straight white oppressors at the end of which there would be a five minute long cutscene in which everybody turns to the camera and informs the player that being gay is normal and that prejudice is bad and that straight white people are inherently evil. I’m overexagerating (spelling?) of course, but you get the point.
