  • Ubisoft holds firm in The Crew lawsuit: You don’t own your video games

    Jump

  • Yeah, I am just confused on the logic. Like what is the relation between us not owning it (which is bad) and piracy not being theft? I wholeheartedly agree that pirating things is okay if a license gets revoked, and it is 100% okay to pirate something you bought even if you still have the license and it hasn't been revoked. It's yours. You paid money for it. But from my understanding, this statement doesn't just cover people who bought it, but everyone, regardless of if they bought it.

  • Do you feel the same way about, for example, a video rental store?

    Chill with the downvotes - I'm not disagreeing. I'm just trying to understand where the line is.

  • I agree with the sentiment, but what exactly is the explanation for this? If you're allowed to lease or rent or purchase a license, isn't stealing that thing for free still theft?

  • Yeah kagi is still good. I've been using it for a while and am very happy.

  • There's nothing perfect. I use Kagi which uses many other indexes including Google, but with a focus on "small web" results and no ads or mandatory AI nonsense.

    ...but it costs money.

    Well worth it in my opinion. My results have been better than Google for me, and I've been using it for like a year now. Highly recommend.

  • Korea’s Smartest New Dumbphone (Mive Folder) - flip phone that still allows you to install all Android apps

    Jump

  • Ah I haven't tried unlocking the bootloader so I can't help you there. I hope it's possible because this is such a good phone for small phone lovers.

  • I was rocking an S22 for a while too and almost bought one of these. I have up on the S22 because of a few restrictions related to android versions.

    Now I'm using the razr 2024 and LET ME TELL YOU. It's so good. It's a vertical flip phone but it has a square screen on the exterior. Now let me tell you my secret. I never open the phone. I never need to. Almost. But it makes the phone a mega-compact. It's not perfect but it's the closest thing to a "small smartphone" that I've been able to achieve and better for me than something like the S22. I highly recommend trying it out. It's also very cheap.

    Don't get the fancy version, just the standard razr 2024.

  • Well I get the analogy, but also I think they didn't use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.

  • Proton Brings Updates to Its Drive App and Docs, but Keeps Linux Users Waiting

    Jump

  • The people concerned this much with privacy are certainly less than 2%. They're already in a niche market for the purpose of privacy. Not that much of a leap to support Linux (which by the way is likely higher than 2% of their user base.)

  • Proton Brings Updates to Its Drive App and Docs, but Keeps Linux Users Waiting

    Jump

  • Because it's all built in. Proton password manager can create a new login for a site. In the same process it also generates a password, creates a new email with a domain that can't be linked back to me, with no setup on my end. Technically I can set up bitwarden to do that but it's a lot of configuration and it will end up using my domain for every email which, even if it can't be linked back to me, all of my email addresses can be linked to each other by merit of using the same domain.

    Until there is a major competitor to Proton that solves all of that, there is no alternative.

  • I've had the opposite experience. It all "just worked". Try running unraid. It makes a lot of it so much easier.

  • It's a beautiful thing

  • It's okay. When people say that to me it just makes me realize they are either lonely and jealous or regretting their own decision to marry because either they chose poorly or they are the problem.

    Either way I ignore it and go home to my best friend :)

  • The answer is "yes". Especially for noobs, they are a life saver. My distro's repository is missing a lot of things that I can easily get with flatpak.

  • I don't know, I was unemployed for a while and literally spent every waking hour gaming for many months straight. It was the happiest time of my life. I'd give up a lot to be so financially stable I could do that again.

  • Motorola razr 2024 when closed is the perfect small phone. Almost all apps work on the small square screen.
