It’s a hard call at end of day. If you want it to all be privacy respecting and open source and decentralised then you’re almost guaranteeing you won’t make money from it.

The alternative is ad based software that’s free which is also garbage.

Hard to find the balance between the two, can’t think of many examples if any that actually work besides just making a paid product that’s very good and hope it’s better enough than the rest to be successful. But even then you likely will have to cross lines because you’re just relying on viral luck at that stage.

Sure. But it’s a two way street. Climate change is important but you don’t realistically solve it by stopping everything coal powered tomorrow. You have to gradually introduce it.

I don’t know if it’s a younger generation thing, but they’re not patient and demand change now when it’s just not realistic. Change is glacially slow. Voting in something that’s not ideal is better than voting in something completely opposite.

The more you allow that left or moderate side to win, the more the axis changes towards it, which is still a win if you’re left/moderate as it moves it away from the right. It’s this last bit some people don’t understand.

Why is the onus on the left to vote left to promote left values? Because that’s how voting works?

I’m not sure how to answer that question. Reword it as “Why is the onus on the right to elect a right-wing candidate?” maybe to see.

So many dumb Americans here not voting. Cutting off your legs so you can hold the moral high ground. Moronic.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

I’m in the same boat as you. It’s a waste of time for me, but others seem to need it.

It’s worth noting I have autism though. So social interactions don’t do much for me.

It’s just as popular as ever if not more so…

Yep… Turns the post from somewhat interesting/meaningful to preachy and judgemental.

You were probably using the wrong version of utorrent.

I think you need something like 1.6. No adware, no malware, just works fast and easy.

This is good, nice to finally have competition.

Tesla is extremely overrated (as can be seen by them repeatedly lowering prices now that any competiton exists).

And the BYD is a nice little car. I test drove one and was quite surprised how many features it had.

Hopefully others will follow suit. The EV market up till now has just been overly expensive cars unfortunately which hurts adoption.

I disagree. You don’t seem to understand piracy at all.

If you’re going to pirate games, you’ll find a way. I have spent hours sometimes figuring out how to do so, and it’s almost part of the fun.

The only reason I’d look at buying a Steam deck in future is to play pirated games. If I absolutely love a game and developer then sure, I’d buy it if I have the cash but otherwise you may as well pirate it.

The only reason I don’t pirate games IS because of locked down hardware like Playstation Etc. Otherwise, I have pretty much never bought a game on PC.

Good on Facebook! Right? That’s what you’re saying no?

You do realize that up until a few decades ago in most counties (and even today in some western countries) homosexuality was seen as immoral and illegal?

So yes, it’s very comparable in that it’s highly socially and culturally defined.

You are incorrect sorry.

While we are on Lemmy, this Reddit AskHistorians post explains how common it was in Ancient Rome. AskHistorians is highly regarded as a good source of information. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/feeuye/how_was_pedophilia_considered_in_the_roman_empire/

This is the most accurate answer, and the fact it’s all cultural/social is quite important as well.

If you were born a few thousand years ago it may be completely reasonable to sleep with a kid. Hell the kid is probably your slave so you could literally do whatever you want with them.

But just as I don’t understand certain fetishes or even just people attracted to the same sex, others won’t understand why people would be attracted to kids.
