Might as well call peak usage rates for electricity "fashy shit". Excessive social media usage helps no-one. In fact its the opposite, and particularly so for marginalized groups.

The difference between workable and non-workable usually boils down to whether I can understand each step and how they arrived at their solution(that is, can I fix my own fuck-up if I miss a step or impliment it wrong for my own situation), which I will know pretty quickly. That said, with my limitted knowlege, I can still spot the 50% that have no chance in hell of working pretty quickly.

OTOH, if a solution is succinct, upvoted, and still looks wrong, I'm at least going to look into the problem further with that as a reference point before I write it off completely.

Worst thing about this is it stops at "non-adults", and puts the burden in individual services(which would be un-workable, yes) rather than ISPs(which have the means). God forbid we do anything to help society as a whole.

Up-shot: The sooner it comes for minorities, the sooner it comes for all of us worthless fleshbags.

... and who is going to tell someone that when they've socially isolated themselves by taking time off for an extended period?

The only time I've seen a therapist more often than weekly or bi-weekly was in a short stint in rehab. No way, no how, does normal therapy replace daily contact with others.

Also, most people aren't assertive, informed, or motivated enough to seek a second professional opinion, and that's before we throw grief into the equation. Congrats on describing all-too-many therapists with your last line as well.

That one word is doing a lot of heavy lifting on its own, until what follows contradicts what you've said. If you don't have the words, a therapist's questions and prompts and what-not aren't really doing all that much to break the silence, nor to promote healing until you're ready to participate.

BTDT. Having a routine is conditioning we do to ourselves, but for so much of life, its the most useful thing ever for so long as we can keep it up.* The trick is to not be further hurt by guilt for failing to continue with it or get back to it quickly enoug/"just so".

... and/or aren't planning to go. I would love to get through Bloomington, IN without seeing the location of every Liquor store dotting my navigation screen. Can't be personalized, as I basically never visit Liquor stores.

"getting into bed together" and "careful who you get into bed with" are so old/common in the business world that its hard for me to relate to most of the comments on this one.

Even meeting the spouse first is nothing new in the world of business or "high-society" contacts. The only thing new here is that he got his own bed and didn't have to mention the couch or leave it even more vague.

... but I'm not here to sympathise with either of them?

Basically, if the app developers bother to maintain their own repository, there is no reason for other f-droid repositories to waste storage and bandwidth on duplicating them and constantly checking to be sure its the latest versions of those apps that have been copied. This is a feature, not a bug, in systems like f-droid.

That said, f-droid could stand to add a directory for known-good repositories, or listings for apps that pull from such repositories without requiring you or I to manually type in a url or scan a QR code, but end of the day, its free softwaree maintained by volunteers.

Many apps on Linux work the same way; However, in my experience, once you've downloaded and installed an application's .deb, tar.gz, whatever, it will offer to add its repositories to your package manager's sources, whereas on Android, once you install an .apk, it stays that version until you install a newer version manually or let the Play store or whatever over-write it.

Bye now.

You don't know shit. My search turned up nothing more concrete than your own apeing of the plaintiff's claims as though those were evidence, so I didn't bother.

Meanwhile, the subject at hand quite literally revolves around Steam and Steam-Keys. We don't even have to get into third-party distribution without Steam-Keys to disprove your argument, although that market also remains alive and well as ever.

The rest was just me matching your energy, but I'm not exaggerating when I say I should have just blocked your belligerent ass a while ago. You can't be bothered to prove your own points, yet keep pretending to be the most "mature" and "focused" person here. It's painful to watch the trolling this far off the rails.

You honestly think I didn't do a google search before reading the two relavent articles reachable from the OP? Nothing I found, nor the fact that I regularly buy games/steam!keys cheaper than via steam, meshes with the plaintiff's claims.

Telling others to act like grown-ups while accepting un-founded claims that happen to reflect your argument at face-value, how very mature of you.

The allegations of the plaintiff are not necessarilly the written or enforced policies of the defendant. Please consider linking something of substance when accusing others of being un-serious/insincere.

You made a claim without linking to it in the first place. Its not my job to substantiate your arguments.

Sure. Not being able to sell literal Steam keys on other platforms for less on other platforms for less according to the terms is the same as being prevented from selling on other platforms for less at all, nevermind that Valve gets a 0% cut on Steam Key Sales made like so.

Also, there is no mention of said policy in either the OP article, nor the separate article about the lawsuit it links to.

Steam does nothing to prevent running non-steam games on any platform. Charge 20-30% extra on Steam and call it done.

You, me, my brother-in-law. For some reason, its the progressive* men in my life who understand the need to get our families away from this shit, somewhere they can avoid suffering and death, or radicalization, or recruitment to a losing cause. One thing we're definitely NOT heading for is a quick civil war.

Meanwhile my wife and all the other white progressive women we know seem perfectly happy to play wait-and-see straight through until its far too late.

*Even most of the MAGAT men I know would jump at the chance to remove their families from this sinking ship - they don't want their kids caught up in this shit either.

Moreso than idiot though. It's almost always been considered a swear-word, but if you're looking for a stricter, smaller set, those go by "cuss-words".
