Rule 1 of McDonald’s it’s better everywhere in the world then America.

Uhh… Poe has helluva bot problem and has had countless cheats over the years.

Iv been playing since the original beta and man… If you haven’t seen cheats in Poe then you are either blind or actively don’t look around you.

This is the entire foundational point Gabe made with steam.

Hell I still get a chuckle when people bitch able steam “drm”. Since it’s entirely optional and can literally be turned off by just adding a text file with the steam ID in basically every case. If it’s even there to begin with

99% of the time the “drm” people bitch about is just the steam overlay dll crashing if steam is off. Cause you know trying to load something that’s off doesn’t really work.

You can literally just remove a single dll from like 95% of steam games and you have an entirely “drm” free game.

Silksong is a great example with how popular it’s been Iv seen thousands of people bitching moaning and crying about how it has drm on steam when it for a fact doesn’t. It just has the single dll so it can use the overlay. Just deleting the dll so it doesn’t load up the overlay and ta-da its fucking drm free.

Likely not, Amazon is a private market place and if their requirements to use it requires the drm his option is very likely use the drm or fuck off.

Not having good publicly controlled legal market places is one of the biggest failings of the internet.

Yep, I could pirate all my books and audio books if I wanted. All it would do is fuck over the author tho.

As much as I hate audible it’s the only legal choice I have for many of the books I listen to. Since basically every other legal option has out of the nearly 500 or so audio books I have less then 50 of them.

It’s annoying.

Really iiv never had to do that with any speaker iv ever owned. They always just reconnect when the lab becomes avaiable

Binding arbitration tends to fail hilariously when it happens frequently enough to start costing more than just being sued which is weirdly common.

Just got to get enough people to force them into arbitration and just drain their money.

Hmm… But is this demon also mommy?

Edit - I looked up said demon. This demon is not mommy. SHES MOMMY.

Best blind waifu

Better fictional than real. Fuck sake, every time a professional psychiatrist or other professional in the field of studying behaviour. Speaks on the topic the same God damn point is made over and over and over.

Fictional characters reduce real harm. Give the freaks a safe space and moderate it properly and you are literally helping reduce actual harm.

Prohibition NEVER works. How many god damn times will people try to ban something only to find they have made the problem worse before they realize it doesn’t work.

The hard part is the moderation cause no one wants to be in charge of it and you can’t let people self moderate addictions and mental issues.

It’s more he would be ok with it this way. I doubt he wanted to die. But he would have been entirely accepting of how he died.

It is for all functional purposes the same thing.

If you don’t own and control it and someone else does and you have no power or ability to stop them

You don’t own it

To try to draw a line here is pointless in anything but a debate of technicalities and reality doesn’t care about those.

They are glorified toys to be blunt. Cellphones just require too much proprietary tech and licensing. Shits never goanna be viable as anything more than a hobbyist toy.

If you already use your phone as nothing more then a toy then it’s a easy switch. But most people don’t.

Damn reading is hard

Problem is ampwall basically has a non viable business model beyond it’s current scale. So it’s likely to never really replace other options. It’s good to have around tho.

Or we could fucking stop with the short form brain rot entirely…

Fuck cops

Allowing multi lingual communication for work purposes can also cause employee safety concerns and breed abusive work environments.

Sadly this very VERY much goes both ways.

It’s why context matters so very much.

Bunch of random super market employees? Doesn’t really fucking matter. Health care workers? Of fucking boy does it matter a LOT.

That feels like it butts it’s head against various other laws.

Triggering someone’s PTSD routinely could easily be considered an unsafe and abusive work environment.

And if the employee is aware they are triggering and then keep doing it. At that point it very well could be seen as malicious.

PTSD does not fuck around for many.

Naw
