People refer to them as “dodgy boxes”. They know it’s illegal and no one cares.

Everyone in the country knows this and either has one or a family member has one

I think the key difference is the inability to be (easily) deplatformed / locked out which can happen in traditional banking

We want X to exist to contain these people.

The same situation applies to League of Legends and their wonderfully toxic player base

There are plenty of people who love FOSS and terminally on X. Yes they are crazy, paranoid and racist but thats cutting off one of your key markets lol

This feels a bit over the line from disclosure to sharing corporate documents… feels a lil bit crimey

My M2 pro tries to ground itself through my arm on occasion when using it while it is charging so I wouldn’t put it passed apple

New comment by HtmlProgrammer in "My streaming fatigue got so bad I started collecting DVDs"

HtmlProgrammer — Mon, 26 Feb 2024 16:14:57 +0000

All businesses wanting recurring revenue now is a shame, subscription fatigue is definitely setting in and slowly draining my wallet.

With my “adult” schedule, I find now that I often don’t even watch more than 2 or 3 movies in the month, for which I could easily just purchase a “forever” physical copy second hand.

My concern is now for the video games industry where if we go all digital, we will be locked into these services with no option to only buy that one game you player for a one off fee.

Minecraft mods 14 years ago used to tell you to open the JAR and delete the META-INF when installing them so can’t rely on that one…

I purchased the Analogue Pocket and it’s a great little device. Got an archive of all GB and GBC games and can play them off an SD card using some of the FPGA cores available. while expensive, it’s great to have that tactile feel just like an original gameboy with modern quality of life features

While I admire your dedication to privacy by disabling JavaScript, personally I’ve gone crazy and given up due to all the people around me in my life forcing me to live in a privacy nightmare
