Porn sites have been doing that for years now.

And that’s exactly what they want.

Just start posting a bunch of political content they don’t agree with to get your account deleted.

Why shouldn’t we kill political dissidents and use their bodies for research and medicine? Some people really benefit from those organs!

Wine makes Windows applications work in Linux. Wine solved a lot of issues with translation, but most Windows games use DirectX for their graphics, which is proprietary to Windows.

DXVK translates DirectX to Vulcan (Open Source graphics API used in Linux), allowing GPUs on Linux to run DirectX games.

Photoshop and Lightroom are what keep me with Adobe. The Open Source stuff simply doesn’t cut it for my needs.

I actually prefer Inkscape over Illustrator. I also still have a lingering fondness for Corel Draw, but I think that’s mostly because I started using it back in 89 when it released.

I also sometimes miss the simple days of learning to use a mouse with Dr Halo.

Do you know if it was actually removed?

Yeah. Because Google would never keep the images anyway.

My best friend is a librarian, and they’ve stopped buying ebook licenses because the terms were awful.

The publishers only allowed an ebook to be checked out a few times before the library had to purchase a license extension. The argument was that pylhysical books face wear and tear and eventually have to be replaced, so ebooks should have to be replaced too.

Yes, but it also hurts their case when they’re demonstrating clearly that they can filter out ads they determine to be harmful.

All we know is the screen isn’t using HDMI 2.1.

I swear to God that Word exists to make us feel better about Outlook.

You ask people online and get 78 different answers, then get caught up in decision paralysis and stick with windows.

Aaron lot of out infrastructure still uses floppy discs.

But meeting the US’s requirements doesn’t prevent products from being sold in Europe.

It’s the same reason film studios started pandering to China and why frying pans sold in Florida have a cancerous materials warning label that’s only required in California.

Companies cater to restrictive regulations in major markets because those products are still legal in less-restrictive territories.

Yes, but the US is a huge, profitable market. And companies will bend over backwards to appease Nazis so long as it’s more profitable to do so than not.

Within the US we have issues with all the US History books being written to comply with Texas’s “slavery was actually good for black people” bullshit because Texas is such a big market and everybody wants in on it.

If the US government bans Graphene, Motorola will drop them in 1/1000th of a heartbeat.

Between this and Dex, there’s little reason left for me to keep using Samsung.

You don’t know if you’re sane. Millions of people aren’t aware of their mental illness and manage to live normal lives. LLMs can trigger delusional states in vulnerable people that have never experienced them because they are essentially delision-generating machines.

Not having to keep pace. They just get the competitive cars banned in the US, then charge so much fucking money here for their shit products it’s worth losing the rest of the world.
