I thought they get into the hay of things.
There’s some things called software architecture, requirement engineering and software design. More dev teams should try this.
I think those jokes weren’t MEANT to be.
But since I also struggle sometimes with my dad jokes, here’s an upvote.
People referred to diogenes as a dog as a form of insult, but diogenes was like “YOU KNOW WHAT FUCKERS? THAT SHOE FUCKING FITS.” and then he called himself “Diogenes the dog”.
As you could maybe tell I may have paraphrased a bit. But who knows, I don’t speak old greek. I had latin in school.
So much this.
I’d rather give the 20$ to my fav instances, than to an optional app.
20$ can be a lot in different countries. 20$ gave me a up to a week of food when I was studying.
I self host some stuff, because I dislike that I’m buying only the rights to consume certain kinds of e-media, instead of buying the e-media itself. So I make us of the consumer rights laws in europe and make a decrypted personal copy and stream it myself from my home server (an outdated laptop)
I spun this up just today and had no issues whatsoever. Just a bad aftertase because the AIO package creates and manages other containers on the host, I’d love to have more control over those as well. But for the sake of comfortability I’ll just have to accept that. And it truly works out of the box!
It’s just Chromium in disguise anyway.

Also some kind of Machinery. “GameMachine” for my Xbox “BigMachine” for my PC “MiniMachine” for my Phone “MicroMachine” for my Pi
Except my small 2-in-1 Laptop. That’s “decepticon”. Because it’s an Asus Transformer Book.
Real OSes come with Firefox pre-installed!

Or just try to install, and it shows you what the package name is.
Oh nonono, I bought the Citroen C4 used as well. The Toyota lasted 4 years. It was a while after I was able to purchase my second car, which broke down in a year.
Isn’t that Jayce from Magic The Gathering?
My first car was a 1994 Toyota Starlet. After 20 years it still ran perfectly. I was clueless about cars then as well, never did an oil change and probably never changed the tires as well. It cost 250 bucks at the time. I drove that small hero for 4 years, before I had to sell it, because of financial reasons.
It still drove perfectly then as well.
My second car was a Citroen C4 from 2004. Broke down in a year, and even in that year it was 2 months in the workshop. We did some few things ourselves, because a friend of mine is a hobby car mechanic. Some things in that car were just straight up weirdly placed or so fricking annoying to deal with.
The Auris 2014 is now my third car. Never had any problem until now. Always go to the yearly checkups, nothing found at all. This is the first time I got my car professional car washes in those big automated wash streets. I love that special snowflake (it’s pearlescent white, so my wife calls it snowflake 😄)
The same can be said about GOG and Bandcamp items. Most of them are easier to find than physical media, too. Thanks to the Internet Archive!
Digital Media is just another form of Media. It’s a lot easier to copy, too. That’s why the publisher’s thought it necessary to implement DRM, just in the worst way possible. In fact they tried to copy-protect books! Here is a stack question and great answer about this.
“Always Online” form of DRM is the most stupid thing anyone could ever do to a single-player.
Ubisoft and EA Games come to mind.
If the publisher ceases to exist and you lost the CD/DVD you don’t own that media as well. Since you lost it. So the point you are trying to make in regards to GOG and Bandcamp is invalid. Those explicitly state that whatever you buy there is yours to own and keep.
GOG only has the convenience that you COULD get it back, if you lost it.
Anyway back to topic: This is the reason why I buy the media from digital distributors, download the media, crack the encryption, which I am allowed to do, because European Laws and this is my own bought copy of this media. I self-host it on a physical server I have access to and give no public access to it. I bought this thing to own, not to own the right of consumption.
Game itself is a ton of fun. If you and your friends just want to learn the game you can just print out the cards, no problem. Or if you want realTM cards you can get a starter kit with 2*60 card decks for about 10-15$ from your local game store. (Or amazon if you are in a remote area with no Game Stores.) They are not the best decks, but they are balanced to each other and the cards are simple enough for new players to navigate.
Better Magic Cards do mostly 2 or 3 things at once and can combo with others or are just great by themselves. Not that worse Magic Cards can’t combo or anything, they just need more setup or can be a bit niche in their usefulness.
