This is stupid as hell.
“You can’t put it on the internet anywhere in the world because we own the rights in one country” is some deranged bullshit.
As much as I don’t like framework spam, especially when a lot of them are bloated and insecure or need bloated and insecure plugins/extentsions/whatever to do basic things, I have less desire than that to go to C.
Teach them how to evaluate sources on the internet.
Seriously, all the hardware/OS whatever is cool, but if you want to really make a difference that will affect everyone, teach them how to find information, how to evaluate it, and how to use internet reference material.
I haven’t played much of the older ones, but I really enjoyed Rifts Apart. It’s beautiful, but it’s also mechanically super polished and fluid, and while the storytelling isn’t really my style, I think they do it reasonably well.
This is absurd.
Typing “Logitech unifying software download” in the address bar is massively less effort than navigating their shitshow of a site. It’s not a sign of inexperience in any way.
Allowing an ad with any third party download is an insane policy, and it is not a legitimate practice at all to use an unreliable third party with a well deserved bad reputation to download software in place of the manufacturer.
That’s disgusting.
Usually “expensive money” means that it’s hard to borrow.
“Devalued” refers to purchasing power. “How much food will $1 buy me?”
They’re describing different things. In terms of the economic relationships that result in the current scenario, I’m not even going to try. Ignoring that we don’t really know and a lot of traditional economics rely on the assumption that actors are rational (which we now know is absurd), I’m far from an expert in macro-economic theory. Systems are complicated.
Google’s proprietary “RCS” and iMessage are the same thing. They’re proprietary apps that work on their OS and are useless for intercommunication.
Their proprietary extensions are for the same reason Apple took forever to implement it.
RCS still sucks.
Fraud is pretty broad and covers most things that deliberately misrepresent reality to take money from someone else.
The premise that the school can sponsor programming that parents aren’t entitled to know and discuss the curriculum of is bonkers.
I’m fine with “selling cheats for use in an online game constitutes hacking” as an attempt to degrade the service for everyone else.
I’m not fine with them winning as a copyright issue. That is potentially a very damaging precedent.
Sure thing, bro. 👍
Again, you’re ignoring Switzerland’s actual position and their actual history.
Switzerland doesn’t enforce other countries’ laws.
It actually is. Switzerland isn’t part of the EU, and their cooperation agreement with europol is limited to specific things.
They absolutely will not cooperate with bullshit harassment laws against their citizens or businesses.
Not in Switzerland against regulation they consider the dumpster fire of horseshit it is.
Only if they give a shit about some random country’s shit law.
There are some treaties in play that allow copyright law to be enforced in some other jurisdictions, but that’s a far cry from a VPN. Switzerland isn’t going to help you enforce nonsense judgements against companies that don’t break any of their laws or laws most of the first world respects.
Ebooks.
It’s still probably not close to enough for my ebooks, but at least it makes a dent. Even terrible quality video adds up fast.
