Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he’s acting against the interests of the US.
The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.
And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?
For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.
Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.
The finance ministry of the world?
I feel it necessary to make an important point here: there is a reason flash is dead. It’s horrible insecure. Fortunately the interest base for this kind of thing is fairly small, because someone with ill intent would not have a hard time providing a malicious swf and gain access to your system.
Now maybe - hopefully - the steam deck makes good use of various sandboxing technologies, but I’d recommend proceeding with care anyway.
That’s very interesting, thanks!
So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used… The solution seems obvious…
We truly love in interesting times. Fuck, I wish we didn’t.
For seeding? Nah. Not unless you have a ton of upload and loads of peers making requests.
Get something that has an internal mirror, that’ll give you double the read throughput AND some redundancy.
As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.
I don’t have a guide handy, but I’d assume VLC could do that.
They should have just plain been disbarred. They were, de facto, lying in court.
Yep. The EU lawsuit forced them to. Also internet exploder is no longer a thing these days 🙂
Bah. Just another Christianity-centric policy. What about the Zoroastrians?
It’s been a while for me, but iirc most ISPs do offer their own servers. However, free Usenet servers are going to have very limited retention - in the order of days. The advantage of paid subscriptions is that they offer retention in the weeks or months.
It’s the MS part that bothers me. That it’s now exclusive is just one thing that makes them shit.
So in one post, you tell me there is finally going to be a new Indy game, AND that it’s going to be owned by MS…
I don’t like you, OP.
Can’t wait until cordyceps turns up 🙂
When has Microsoft ever done something other than unethical business practices to lock people in?
Hot damn, that brings back memories. I might still have a couple of demos deep on the storage somewhere… I should look for them sometime.
Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.
