Supposedly freedom loving open source folk are as susceptible to flashy marketing surrounding Apple’s shiny new thing as any other consumer. I remember how infuriated I got when I saw the Asahi project. Years upon years of hardwork only to get an operating system, which already runs on computers 99% of the userbace relies on, to run on Apple’s fancy new laptop on the bloc, just because. There so no real benefit to actually do it, be we do it still!

Capitalist scum.

Private property is theft.

Sonic Origins had Denuvo? Brother, they are fucking Genesis games. Anyone can play them on some Genesis emulator right now, or get the Christian Whitehead’s remasters in case of 1, 2 and CD. What the were they thinking?

The concept of intellectual property is inherently corrupt. It’s a law that seeks to supress the competetion it pretends advocate for.

Are Egyptian authorities doing something about the poverty their people face as well?

I used to have an account there and this wasn’t my experience, and I used to be a capitalist back then. I mainly quit because there was nothing to do there, this was before lemmy gained an actual userbase following the reddit api situation when the most popular post on the whole network had one hundred upvotes and eight comments or something.

You’ll be fine if you don’t involve yourself with the political communities, I don’t see why you would considering there still doesn’t seem to be much activity there.

What’s wrong with .ml?

You see they are a multibillion dollar corporation, so them doing it is good actually, it encourages iNnOvAtIoN.

Also they repack everything. I only learned about and played a game called The Weird Dream because there is a fitgirl repack of it. When I looked it up on Steam it had fifty or so reviews.

Windows and Linux are both free and MacOS coames pre-installed in custom made hardware, so I don’t know who would pirate an OS anymore. I’m with you on security software though.

Original method wasn’t FTP?

I give up on having that thing. I’m unemployed, I don’t have any income at all. When I have a well paying job though I’d rather just pay, there are a lot of people I would like to support.

Very unlikely, but I hope they go “Mario, this sucks actually, so you can’t have it anymore.”

Oh my word, I need to see if this work well with Western comics.

Everything would be so easy if we just had a good local comic reader for smartphones 😭

Or use a search engine to access it in general. Anna’s Archive itself is a search engine, it’s better to just bookmark it and search for stuff directly from there.

It took over twenty years just for Linux to enter the conversation at the enthusiast level, it took a lot, and I do mean a lot, of enshittification on Microsoft’s part and decades of campaigning by free software ideologues for us to get to this point, and if Windows still worked like Windows 7 we still wouldn’t be anywhere close.

OpenBSD is super niche relative to FreeBSD, which is super niche relative to Linux. I don’t even know if it was built for desktop use, or if it happens to be usable as one thanks to Linux DEs being compatible so long as they don’t heavily depend on Linux specific stuff. Though I guess it can be a desktop OS in the most conservative sense of that term even without all that stuff.

Ubuntu had issues with it’s snap store as well. I think there will be more security oriented distros in the future like Kodachi, but it’s best to be cautious in general these days.

Not for long, Linux will get targeted like this as it becomes more popular. It’s more of an argument for OpenBSD if anything, since OpenBSD will never be popular on desktop and it’s developers take security very seriously.
