  • piracy is a service problem~

    also of note, they never account for the fact that piracy increases sales in some aspects, without piracy - anime = small. buying physical books when they come on sale for a series you read online? yes, I have a nice collection. Merch, and so forth.

  • Are they going to stop printing it too? Scanlations is still a thing 😅

  • Piracy isn't just internet sites that you stream shit on. Piracy is DVDs you bought or copied from a friend.

    your premise bases itself on a very small timeframe.

    (I also have no clue about software piracy getting harder - videogames you mean?)

  • If gun rights were actually about that then the black panthers wouldn't have been surpressed and banned

  • Disposable towels? Single use compressed Towels?

    the endless focus on consumption with no reuse, the usage of resources?

  • what the actual fuck? Capitalism is so weird 💀

  • there is nothing in Yuzu that Nintendo has copyright to. Emulators are also precedentially legal.

    so yes, how dare they want "their" copyrighted material not "stolen"....

  • Imagine knowing how your pee spreads all around if you stand and pee - only to deicide to stand and pee.

  • Last I saw it was about merging in the upstream CEF wayland support

    but yes, the client could be x11 and somehow still launch games in wayland, which could also be a solution - not too dissimilar to gamescope I suppose. I ain't got no clue on how that works tho ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  • Steam isn't even on wayland - complain about that ticket if you want HDR lol.

    not to mention steam actually does have some degree of HDR support through gamescope, which steamdeck ships with.

    (also HDR support on linux has barely started being a thing this year...)

  • That's a downside - imagine an AI that can't draw trying to differenciate between a friend of foe. it just shoots everyone and their cat

  • libraries!

  • so, sorry about wall of text, but nothing is a black and white in reality like that perspective on the marked. Love the hermit life tho! would join - currently living in a collective in a city myself.

    So the economic problem of landlords is that they accumulate whealth - that they use to purchase up new housing before it's buildt - this also ensures that the housing prices goes up; and as a requirement for return on investment - the rent goes up, even if you're just renting the shitty apartment they've had for years.

    building housing is a solution yes, but it's obstructed by a lot (depending on your state/country) Like safety regulations; that usually are there to protect the inhabitants and the workers building it.

    there is also the construction sectors economic motivations. There are no financial motivations to finish a project (usually), and instead the motive to actually finish the job would be on ensuring that you get new contracts. As long as the marked is that way for construction firms it will ensure that they take longer to build it, thereby increasing their profits, and actually have a job (as they are in essense work for hire)

    and the stock marked: (forgive me, details lacking here as my knowledge is unuanced and especially lacking in the stock marked field.) the stock marked is tied to housing, construction firms, and land. And as the stock marked wants a line to go up as they also take out dividends off that, they invest money into it with the assumption that it will be profitable - this not only ensures that housing will get more expensive; but with the amounts of money invested the government also has a incentive to keep that housing marked expensive; as a crash would ruin the finances of not only quite a few individuals i would also ruing investment firms - and the companies that they invested in. Ie a housing marked collapse, like has happened in several countries the past few decades.

    this is not an exhaustive list, but at least adds a few more reasons to housing expensive beyond they don't build enough.

    and yes, renting is in concept not a bad thing, but in reality the renter ends up with the risk of the owner not actually holding the house up to code. At least in my country - the only time the house is checked is when it's sold; then there isn't the incentive to actually keep the house in good shape; instead the incentive is to get cheap black marked labour to make it rentable to as many people as possible with using the least amount of money. which usually introduces risk most people would never accept in their own homes. like electrical fires (at least in my own experiences.)

    (for note, I live in norway, so it's not going to perfectly apply to all countries - though it should be somewhat similar)

  • but the bible isn't copyrighted? right? Is there any other aspect than just the economic abuse of religions trump fans?

  • Apartheid state now going complete genocide and the world is barely trying to get a "ceasefire" going.

  • KDE has a display option that might help! it works a bit 😅 - "screen tearing: [_] allow in fullscreen windows" - it's at the bottom.

    but if not then x11 for you :/ I switch back and forth - for some applications. But finally getting an AMD card, in the mail now 😍

  • I'm lost, does Ubuntu give you a pop up with this or something?

  • well actually!

    Teletext is a british invention, and the basis for european television caption.

    the US system is based on the european one, and it's likely that the reason for the difference on the captioning is something other than the tech. f.ex that in US it's less common to use cc or smth, or that the cc was made live, i.e. during the broadcast, like a fotball match or smth.
