Why spend the money up front? That’s just bad business. They’ll only do it if there’s real traction in the rest of the verse blocking their shit.

I’m worried that what they’ll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can’t dedicate in the way a megacorp can.

“Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that’s just propaganda from trolls.”

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren’t interested in accepting fixes.

Copyright won’t help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would’ve resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.

Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.

I made the switch to Manjaro in January, haven’t needed Windows once for gaming.

Most difficulty I’ve had was with Cyberpunk 2077, but that’s because GOG broke some shit on their end that requires a workaround hack to stub some phone-home code that checks what DLC you have or whatever.

For the most part, shit just works now.

Suppressing the timely resolution of this strike allows new media companies that don’t follow the same rules to fill the demand. I’m sure TikTok benefits from that to some small degree, but they probably suppress protest footage and related as a default to preserve “social harmony”.

I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight…

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted; this is literally what those walls full of game boxes were meant for (even back when they actually had shit in 'em).
