Come on! Robert Downey Jr did such a great job in that one.

I do say that it is a one time watch film, as it will be very boring even if I watch it after a few years.

Same. I like animated superhero films more that live action ones, except for a few like Watchmen.

I've used it on a Redmi Note 8 for 2 years, and am using it on a Samsung Tablet. I never had any issue.

Halo Reach was an awesome game, and so was Halo 3: ODST.

My question is that is this a USA only thing? Or is it practised in other nations as well?

Is carrier locking an America-only thing? I have never seen this in India, and have never heard of this in any European country either.

There is no objective answer to that. Maybe tell us your needs, use case.

Both of them aren't good enough for privacy use cases. Using something like Universal Android Debloater is recommended.

If possible, buy a used device on which you can install official LineageOS.

I really, really want Ubisoft to redeem themselves with this release. But I know they won't.

I use this site. Not all games work, though.

Another option is to use 1337x and search for jc141. They put either native linux game or sometimes have wine built-in their setups, but they require you to install a lot of prerequisites.

Another option is to use emulators like PCSX2 or RPCS3 to play other games with relatively less hassle.

For a moment I thought this was Bad Guys at School.

Okay, say that they have released an addon for Blender for modders. Because Blender is under the GNU GPL the addon they release has to be at the very least compatible with the GPL and therefor it should be Free Software. They wouldn't care. I mean if people can make mods, and improve the addon, it will be easier for them themselves to use it to make assets and everybody benefits. Typical "open source" mindset. And guess what? They did exactly this. Their Blender Addon is under a GPL compatible license ( MIT ). So okay, they at least developed one Free Software thing.

But if you look into it more deeply you will find more interesting things. For example, there is a Free Software python API to drive a special variant of BeamNG called BeamNG Tech. Which is for professional use. Yeah, well... This python thing still requires the proprietary BeamNG tech to be installed. But still. Here is another technically Free Software thing that they developed.

Then if you look even deeper, you will notice that they switched a game engine sometime in the early days of the game. First they used Cry Engine. Which is very proprietary and probably very costly. And then they chose to use a Free Software game engine called Torque 3D instead.

So they are building the game with Free Software on a Free Software game engine for which they built Free Software tools. And yet the game is still proprietary. Even though, as I already said, it feels more like what a Free Software game feels, with community collaboration and an insane level of customize-ability.

Applying this theory means , almost every software that has ever existed is free and open source.

I have played Astro's Playroom, and it is fun, especially the boss fights.

Valhalla base game + ragnarok took me over 80 hours. Amd I didn't do most of the side stuff. Mirage was about 20-25 hours, iirc.

Yay?

What does Scarlett Johansson have to do with this?

The f-droid team goes through the source code and builds the app themselves before publishing. I think it's better to trust them. Obtanium is great, but only if the app is not on f-droid or f-droid is lagging behind updates.

That is not ideal, especially if you will be the only one using it. If you are using it alone, YouTube will still be able to profile you, as all the videos will be watched by a single server. It would be just like using YouTube.com with a VPN. If you are self-hosting and a few people will use it, YouTube won't be able to profile everyone, as it will think all the videos are being watched by a single person.

You should try playing Vice City on a PS2 emulator. Connect your emulator with retroachievements.org and try to get all the achievements. If you can find a legit PS2 copy, it won't be piracy.
