If I remember correctly it avoids the streaks by taking several long-exposure photos and then combining them.

Optimization? Did you mean to write monopolistic, anti-competitive, and unethical practices?

Because if there’s one thing Nvidia knows how to do, it’s to play dirty.

Tidal doesn’t even have anything over Spotify.
Their version of Spotify Connect barely works at the best of times, on my AV I couldn’t get it to work at all.

And Qobuz… isn’t even available in a bunch of countries.

For me, the only real alternative is piracy and setting up my own streaming.
But I’m too lazy for that, so with Spotify at least the artists get paid something, and I can be reasonably certain that whatever I want to listen to will actually be available.

Also, Bandcamp was sold a while ago and fired half their staff, so not sure about ethics here.

Oh, sorry.

It’s just hard to assume good intentions when so many people actually excuse these actions. :/

“Not that deep”? They shouldn’t have been anywhere near the border, that’s not where the front lines are.

And some of them were shot down, you can’t just claim it’s “not that deep” as if they just stopped by themselves.

I’m not saying I don’t sympathize, but when this happens to me I just downvote and move on.

There’s a difference between what you’re saying, and intentionally visiting threads about a thing you supposedly care so little about that you have to announce it for everyone.

Yeah, that mural was very clever.

The gov really had no winning move either way, and realistically leaving it up was never an option anyway.

I love that a gov website is now hosting memes making fun of Pirate Software.

Well, you’ve spent 200h on it, so clearly you must enjoy it.

Nothing bad with enjoying a shallow game.

Yeah, but I think they implemented the same restrictions Google is planning, so I’m not very helpful that EU is gonna stop Google…

What exactly are you trying to argue here?

You say automated updates good, mandatory updates maybe not?
But there’s no difference on Windows, that’s the point. You, as a user, get no choice.

You will get broken updates and unwanted features whenever they decide, because it’s ultimately about the same thing with both MS and Android: taking away your control of your devices.

That’s the same argument people used to praise Microsoft for forcing mandatory updates.

Every year they force untested updates breaking the OS or even bricking the hardware.
And Windows is still vulnerable despite the updates.

That’s what the OP is referring to: Google just announced they will do their best to kill off sideloading.

One person’s inability to use a common device is not an excuse to make it worse for everyone else.

My parents are pretty incompetent when it comes to tech, but it wasn’t difficult for them to understand not to install random shit and call if in doubt.

Yeah, I remember, now we still have Windows being vulnerable, but in addition we also have untested changes pushed automatically to paying customers.

Forced updates are great!

Or don’t, because the original one is perfectly fine.

I never understood what people have against it.

Sure looks like a paywall to me, except you get a choice of a currency you can pay with.

Isn’t that about different channel though?

What did the piece claim?
