That may be true, but that wasn't the point he tried to make. The problem is that netflix used to have everything at a good monthly price and once they dominated the market, enshittification and price hike started, plus all the other companies wanted in on the action, starting their own service.

Now MS is trying to do the same to the PC gaming market.

For motorcycle riding i use calimoto. It has an option to find the most curvy route to your destination. It also works offline, which is great when riding in remote areas with poor cell coverage or foreign countries with expensive roaming conditions.

Also it can track your journey and show elevation, acceleration, speed and lean angle.

Unfortunately it's subscription based now, but i was licky enough to buy it before that, so i basically got lifetime premium account.

One more downside is the shitty search function. even with the exact address copy pasted it almost never finds the location.

I think it's a joke abaut how closely related the countries were, when they started the first 2 WWs (and maybe Hitler being Austrian)

Not out of the box, AFAIK, but there is a plugin. I never got it to work though, because you also need some up-to-date certification file.

How has no one mentioned the tetris theme? Dum dada dum dada dum dada dum dada dum di da da da

Not sure if this is true, but i've been told, when you flush food down the drain or toilet, rats living in the sewer might come looking where that delicious meal came from.

Also many young people are so used to games requiring online connection and being shut down, that they can't imagine a better way.

There's Epic or you can buy directly from the publishers store front (e.g. EA), but GoG is the only one not forcing you to use a shitty launcher. ignore that, i missed the "not American" requirement in your post.

unfortunately not all of us. few weeks ago 20% voted for our nazi-party and another 30% voted a party who's leader is willing to cooperate with the nazi-party.

Boycotts by individuals are legal.

For now...

Not that weird, since we've had similar things happen in Europe in the 1930s. I'm mostly wondering, what's going to be Canada's Stalingrad.

We allowed nazis take power once, we must not make the same mistake again.

In case you missed it, they are in power already, just not in Germany (yet).

Who is actually buying Windows standalone?

People who build their own PC and want to use an OS that they are familiar with. Especially when you want to game, windows is just easier than any free os and you can get a legit key for 20-30 bucks, while pirating windows has become a lot more complicated since XP.

I think you misunderstood. he meant in Germany the gfci is wired between where the electricity comes into your home and the breakers, so every outlet is protected, not just the ones in the bathroom.

Except in old buildings, like the one i'm living in, where there is no grounding wire and ground fault protection is done by bridging ground to neutral and hoping that enough current flows through the fault to trigger the breaker.

As long as you keep a pc with the specs and OS of the time the game was released. GOG is also making an effort to patch these games to make them run on current hard- and software without the hassle of finding and downloading fan patches, running emulators/virtual machines and all the other hoops one might have to jump through to get an old game running.

Of course you could theoretically pirate the gog version after they made it run, but given that these games usually cost about 5-10 bucks and some go as low as 1-2 when on sale, i think that's worth it to support these efforts.

That's why we invest in renewables.

Upgrading would have cost way more. one of the reasons atom power is so expensive (without government subsidies) is the cost of the plants which needs to be recouped as well as the price of the uranium. not to mention that we haven't found a suitable place to store the waste for those thousands of years until it's harmless.

selling your body

i hate that phrasing to describe sex work. no one is "selling their body", as they are still in control of it. sex workers provide a service, same as a masseuse or hair stylist (except their service involves genitals) and it should be treated as such.

Otherwise one could argue that all (physical) labour is "selling your body"
