I’m not saying you you should or shouldn’t, but if you did, I’ve heard it’s possible to access a backup of the original even if you don’t have an original disc.

What planet is America on? Nowhere else in the world is knocking on someone’s door considered something that would get you shot. It’s bizarre.

Not to mention the work valve have done to bring gaming to a whole other operating system!

Not so much, it was more an ironic take that the British find this second nature and normal and therefore correct and a slight dig that our American cousins are more uncouth because they’re less messed up in that regard.

Did his level best

Sounds like you’re American too.

Know your customer. Legal requirement on financial institutions to retain certain customer information and red flag suspicious behaviour.

And ephemeral unless you specifically wanted to save something. Since I got win 11 at work instead of disappearing on reboot the next time I open it I get 50 fucking notepad instances and I can’t find the actual doc that would’ve been useful to save because its in a background tab. Fuck this shit.

If only she hadn’t bought that drum kit.

Just to fully expound on what you’re saying, it was a rootkit, literally malware.

Fuck it, I just use sudo and live with the consequences.

Linux, the answer is obviously Linux.

Honestly, I think they’re a troll account. In general Lemmy took a bit more effort for me personally to sign up to vs Reddit, I had to figure out an instance and roughly how it worked before signing up and the political stance of the devs came up. I mostly assumed most people went through a similar process.

The annual cycle is quite nice from a buyer’s perspective too, when I need a new phone I’ve got a reasonable idea that Google aren’t going to release a new device in a couple of months and leave me feeling shafted.

Evidently clueless in more way than one. No worries botski

What exactly were you expecting when you shifted to the Reddit alternative whose main developers were communist? You’re either clueless or a bot.

Why can’t they just make it a gTLD?

Certainly it could be, I would like to see some proper study done into it, but it’s probably borderline impossible.

Conversely patents are somewhat unobtainable by the average Joe, I think I saw it costing somewhere in the region of 25-50k to patent something by the time you factor in the cost of a decent patent lawyer.

Maybe a 10-15 year patent period with lower barrier to entry would be a good thing.

Indeed

Haha, I just happened to be watching engine swap videos earlier today and thought it fit well!
