I don’t think latency is relevant in an application like lemmy. If you can’t get posts from the server it’s not latency but the server being overloaded.

Are you allowed to unilaterally stop providing the service you 've been paid too?

GDPR is not the only law In EU nor does it automatically supercede any and all other obligations.

Doubtful. There is no basis for Ubisoft to claim the account is no longer needed just because you haven’t played a game in some arbitrary period of time. Especially if they allow explicit account deletion by the user.

Not only that is not always the case, but with the locked down nature of consoles it would be way more difficult for a console owner to override any online DRM even if he had the whole software on disk.

Also, here’s a solution: Just don’t use Chrome or any Chromium-based browsers.

Provided your bank has not stopped supporting your “non-secure” browser. The previous browser vendor that had a functional monopoly did abuse user-agent to harass the competition. Using non IE required changing your user-agent to IE/Windows for a lot of sites.

Or as they say:

Websites will ultimately decide if they trust the verdict returned from the attester.

It is expected that the attesters will typically come from the operating system (platform)

There is… …the risk of websites using this functionality to exclude specific attesters or non-attestable browsers

Nobody said they would confiscate millions of com or net domain names or random non-Americans. We are talking about the lemmy developers specifically.

But there is no reason to get a US registered domain as a non US citizen who is also not hosted in the USA.

.com and .net are under US jurisdiction they are not stateless. I could also see why the original lemmy developers would not want to use such a domain.

It’s in his apartment. Unmanaged switches and/or WiFi.

Well our experiences differ then. I never had any issues on vanilla Ubuntu systems. After all if there was I 'd have to be on the phone to fix it while also reminding the fam that any non specified click us a left click.

To be fair I rarely had issues with Windows myself, at least post xp. But windows do fail, especially on updates and in quite bizarre ways. I ve had to solve quite a few over the years.

Nope. Install a distro like Ubuntu and it will not break with auto updates. Nvidia drivers included.

Much less maintenance than when they used windows.

You also overestimate the non tech enthusiast ability to use or fix issues with windows. They usually download the first program that promises to fix their issue, or increase their RAM.

It’s actually ideal for people who are actually not tech enthusiasts at all and do not need specific software for their job (Photoshop, audio stuff, actually NOT Ms office)

Everybody I 've seen making this argument is actually a tech enthusiast themselves and just as out of touch with the average user as a Linux “guru” and massively overestimates the non tech enthusiast user.

They are far more likely to fuck up their Windows PC (even with UAC because they don’t understand what it is) than successfullyinstall a new program on their own.

I 've borged my Nvidia drivers a few times, never via the distro auto updating. Custom kernels, trying to get newer cuda versions or something. Still better to fix than AMD drivers on windows and the whole DDU dance.

A free ,as in non DRM, digital copy is the best from a customers perspective. It’s after all what you get after ripping your discs.

Physical media can also have DRM, just because we were able to break DVD, BR etc does not mean we are always going to be able to do so. Nor is DRM on physical media inherently weaker than on digital files, quite the opposite. If they got it right you could be unable to resell the disc afterwards, or more precisely the guy you sold it too could not use it.

The only bluetooth issue I had was with an xbox controller that I used both in both windows and linux (same machine). I had to completely remove it and pair it on both OSes if I used it on the other one.

Bluetooth headphones actually work out of the box in Ubuntu but whatever.

Well, there are some arguments pro buying cheaper phones.

1. You have the option to upgrade, you are not obliged. Even if you finance the more expensive phone you are still committed for more. You have more options.

2. Batteries do naturally degrade over time. No matter how expensive or good your phone is.

3. Accidents happen some will not be covered by warranty but I also do not see more expensive phones having more than 2 years warranty which is the minimum.

4. If you do chose to upgrade you have more phones, that means a backup or a free phone for a member of your family.

I think they are present in some school computer labs in a server and full/thin client combination.

Deluged on my 24/7 running box and the gtk client to connect to it from my main PC.

I mean I was a Nintendo fanboy when I was young. I have a switch now and owned N64, GC, Wii. Me and my RL friends lamented not being able to pirate. Sure there are people online that are anti piracy but I think they are actually a vocal minority.

Them and people profiting from copyright are the remaining percentage.

They don’t use the API, they appear as web browsers and download the actual reddit webpages and extract the posts and comments from that.

Which is certainly more inefficient and stressing reddit’s servers more than using the API.

Why is this news, 99,9% of society says piracy is ok? Has anybody in your life ever reproved you for saying you downloaded a movie, game etc?
