Why I don’t get is why they fight so hard to promote piracy though. It’s not enough that it’s free, it also has to be easier?

Denmark. I bought something from the US. About 300 DKK. I had to pay for shipping. About 300 DKK. I had to pay the toll. I had to pay a mandatory 120 DKK fee for the postal service to charge the toll. I had to pay taxes on the fee. I had to pay taxes on the purchase. I had to pay taxes on the shipping.
In the end I paid about 1000 DKK for a 300 DKK package.
Lemmy.ml sucks. I really need to move on.
An Enermax keyboard has been my daily driver as a programmer for my career that started in 2007. It still works just fine and I still have no reason to change to something else. Lots of reasons not to, since I like the classic keyboard layout and the flat laptop keys.
Then why use the label “Patriarchy”? It has a very specific meaning that I don’t feel applies to many western societies and definitely not to the sociatal structure and norms that we happen to live in, regardless of who is in charge. I think we agree on everything but the term.
I hate this way of putting it, especially because it puts the blame on a single gender. It’s not JUST men who shoehorn people into gender roles, we all do it.
It’s off putting to me and I tend to dismiss the entire thing because it basically says that men being bad also hurts men. Had it said that men also are victims of gender roles I would immediately agree, and I can’t imagine that I’m the only one who feels this way.
Oh, he’ll just change the unit test if it fails.
On second thought, nevrmind.
My only argument I can come up with is that other people have friends, so $25 will be less than going to the cinema because they don’t have to pay that price for each person watching. It’s still ridiculously expensive though.
Ugh, I have the xm4 and they are a great example of too many features. They sound great! However… I often use them while biking, and any kind of noise control is completely useless. Letting in sound would be great, but the wind noise is deafening. Which means that I cannot use the noise controls anywhere. If I’m on a call it automatically let’s in sound, which cannot be turned off.
Not to mention that they must have been designed specifically to be impossible to hold without dropping them.
And regularly the left one reboots…
Or a HURD.
Clones.
singular they/them has been in use for literally centuries
Even if has been in use since forever, a more appropriate word can be introduced now.
Given your username it’s probably for the best.
I’m chewing my way through the stormlight archives by Bryan Sanderson. Just finished book 2.5, on book 3 now.
I mostly listen on headphones during my workday. I very much prefer to listen on speakers though.
5.1.4 surround. I use an nvidia Shield for playing back files (via kodi), and it works pretty well.
I could download my file and be done with it. If I throw away or damage my super fragile bluray I’m not entitled to a new copy. I don’t even need to be able to redownload (although it’s a nice service). It means there is an ongoing service behind it because they decide it and because they are afraid I will share with my friends - which is about as difficult as finding the media elsewhere online.
Same issue with physical media. Suddenly your expensive factory is idle, your employees don’t produce anything. We still get to buy movies and not rent them perpetually.
