As the dude from this picture, let me tell you that piracy was reeeally different 30 years ago (more like 25 for me). We were years away from DSL, downloading a piss-poor CAM rip of Star Wars ep1 took hours. Then you’d invest in a CD burner and exchange movies with your friends.

When I cancelled my subscriptions a year ago, I found out about Jellyfin and the *arr stack, took a couple of hours to set them up, and now I can download a whole show in a couple of taps while my friend is telling me about it, and watch it on my TV in 4K, or on my phone in the subway like 15 minutes later.

Sure, the underlying methods of acquisition haven’t changed much since BitTorrent came out, but the ecosystem is on a whole other level.

Doesn’t work for le lave-linge though.

Yeah, she was a victim of state and family-sanctionned pedophilia and child abuse, and she was trying to protect her son. In a sane country she would have been acquitted or given a slap on the wrist.

Well I tried it before commenting, and I see the same thing as OP… I’m on Firefox stable 145.0.1.

I have a really hard time understanding how he considers any of that a problem.

It’s only for links shared via WhatsApp for some reason. Not sure how they know you’re sharing to WhatsApp… (Edit: firefox implements a custom share widget instead of the one provided by the OS, so they get a callback when the user selects the target)

OP is wrong about the “unique” part tho, I get the same URL as them.

Yeah, you can’t expect devs to actively work on an app indefinitely just because you gave them a few bucks that one time. It makes no sense financially if the app isn’t exceptionally successful.

From time to time I’ll still look at their steam page during sales, because I’d like to play a blockbuster single player FPS where I can mindlessly mow down bad guys, with good story and production value.

But the price point and reviews always turn me off… Do you have a good alternative to recommend?

It’s literally impossible to use the internet (or even computers?) without patronizing American companies, at least indirectly.

I’d argue that if the app is not monetized, you deserve whatever the dev feels like giving you, for free.

To be fair, it may not be in their own interest to discuss these kinds of things publicly.

Vaporizers have a cooling system, you’re not inhaling 180°C air. Coffee and tea are much hotter, for example. And I’m pretty sure aerosolizing natural THC would involve heating weed at some point (or not, talking out of my ass here).

I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read, if you stay within the recommended temperature range it’s perfectly safe.

I don’t think that was Kenny’s point but yeah, bootleg (or even regular) alcohol kills people all the time but no one uses these cases to advocate for an outright ban.

Oh OK, but I don’t really see the point, production would be much more complex and I don’t see how they’d be safer than vaporizers.

Cannabis vaporizers exist, and they are not the same thing as e-cigs or vape pens. They’re basically small ovens where you put a bit of weed. The heat detaches the cannabinoids which are then inhaled through some kind of straw.

This, and fuck giving the US any more money than strictly necessary.

Yes, but everything above it (including drivers) is custom-made and tightly controlled by Google.

Yeah, if they’re not lying it will be the worse phone ever made. The US-made Purism Liberty is $2000 and has similar specs to the Asia-made, $800 Librem 5, which is already overpriced compared to Android devices.
