Freedom means you can cancel a subscription based on any arbitrary decision you chose. We should buy things based on our freedom to choose, if that means you chose based on quality that’s great and makes sense. If you choose for any reason other than quality, that’s great it’s your money.

How can you not see the fallacy in your own argument?

So do nothing and continue to financially support something you disagree with? Are you a cuck or something?

US backs down

Does the US back down? We definitely double down

Brauchli has publicly encouraged people not to cancel their Post subscriptions in protest.

“It is a way to send a message to ownership but it shoots you in the foot if you care about the kind of in-depth, quality journalism like the Post produces,”

The two sentences that made me lol. Of course the consumer is shooting itself in the foot not subscribing to a journal whose integrity is in question after one of the oligarchy decided it needed to suppress an endorsement. If the consumers weren’t shooting themselves, who else could it be? Certainly not the great Bezos!

Never heard of it, how is this distro for new users? I run mint for reference, but I’m always trying to learn about other distros.

That’s fair that it’s mainly in the head of the person in the story.

That being said my partner and I actively point, laugh, and make fun of any cyberturds we see on the road very obviously. I’m sure we aren’t the only ones.

I’m aware the Streisand effect is specifically regarding concealing info causing way more attention drawn to it, my point is that highlighting the fact that gamers hate Denuvo and trying to change that fact will most likely only amplify the hatred.

I will be more specific I hate any software that isn’t required for a game to work. The reason why I worded it vaguely is because I’m not just talking about DRM, but anti-cheat and launchers as well (even though launchers aren’t 3rd party).

As far as metrics are concerned I’m perfectly ok with that, as long as I have the option to opt-in or at the very least made aware of it.

What it really boils down to is I don’t want any unnecessary extraneous packages with the software that I actually want. For the most part I avoid games that add these things.

That’s why I avoid games with launchers for the most part. I also specified what I meant by third party software, I could have worded that more concisely.

I think them trying to win gamers over is just going to Streisand effect the hatred instead. I don’t want 3rd party anything that I don’t elect to install, even if it doesn’t effect the performance( which I also don’t buy).

Mint’s sweet I switched from 10 a few months back. Biggest difference is getting use to the different file system, only 2 games have been unplayable (didn’t try to make them work tbh).

Ahhh I misunderstood your tone my bad, it’s a bit of an emotional topic for me. I’ve been checking in on friends the last couple days to make sure no one’s dead… I thought you meant that last sentence as an “we’re being censored!” Bit

I’m gonna guess you’re just trolling or unwell mentally, I am from WNC and a majority of my family and friends live there. There is one granite mine that supplies for chips and it is in a specific town called Spruce Pine. The government did not manufacture a hurricane that covered a third of a state so one town can give away mining rights

The night vance cometh

The tone of this writing is bizarre, even for satire

There are lines for grocery stores but it’s mostly because the store itself is throttling the number of people in the store at the same time, gas is non-existent, no cell or Internet connection, many without power or water or both. I don’t know if it’s as bad as Katrina but it is certainly pretty bad and way worse than when the area was hit by multiple hurricanes in the late 2,000s.

A Nation in active conflict cannot join NATO, you silly silly person

RuneScape would like a word with you

Eh I’ll take it, better than reading about candidates continuing to defend a fake news conspiracy about immigrants eating pets or whatever horrible thing they focus on next

As sad as it is, it’s actually kinda refreshing to see a mundane headline regarding politics

Everyone of the people I know who have the sticker/tattoo aren’t Nazis, they are big into guns and tend to be anti-government though.

Three percent is from the population% that supported the American revolution at its inception, at least that’s what I’ve understood of it.

I’m sure there are plenty of Nazis that also claim to be 3%ers but I’ve never known it to be a Nazi thing, maybe they have tried to claim it.

Similar to the OK hand sign I will never see it as a symbol of nazism/white supremacy.

Most of those stickers aren’t Nazis

Yeah it only being supported on pixel is what made me lose interest too but there is a good reason why it’s specifically pixel phones, it’s one of the only phones that doesn’t have a bootlocker/ you can disable it. GrapheneOS can’t operate on phones with a bootlocker. I could be a little off on this explanation but that’s the gist I remember.
