The difference is you don’t have to pay unless you feel like donating

It’s called being a greedy corporation that hates anything that the consumer can’t pay for. I switched back to Ubuntu after 16 years. It’s good to be back.

Libre Office can read the douments your doctors send you for free. TAKE THAT! MICROSLOP!

Imagine starting to work from the inside and weld things wrong, install wiring just, “good enough,” knowing full well one of the plugs will start a fire, shit inside the cement and make shit laced walls.

Construction workers can still get paid and inspection workers can be in on it too. It happens over and over again and eventually it becomes something that’s not cost feasible to keep trying to rebuild knowing there will be a failure.

Congrats you’ve made me laugh during my morning shit. 🥇

I think the problems from that are smaller and easier to solve than the problems from fracking/oil well drilling/coal mining etc destructive practices for fuel.

No. Way more destructive. Fracking for oil and drilling can make a site uninhabitable for like 5 years and it can be cleaned effectively in a minimum of like a month.

Nuclear Damage can last from 112 years to up to 20,000 years. You can decontaminate an area effectively on 2 to 7 years but the waste water of dumped wouldn’t be good for anything.

Some colleges have micro nuclear power plants so it’s not like they’re not used.

Its a gamble that needs a lot of competence to make it future proof.

I am also for nuclear. It’s just a giant steam power plant with radio active rods. I’m thinking about the Ohio River being polluted with radioactivity as a worst case scenario.

Yeah the middle of America got so fucked over… Now they want to start nuclear power plants all over the country.

Not to mention the Cuyahoga river that sometimes just happens to catch on fucking fire from pollution. I seriously think that pollution fucks with everyone’s brains over there but here I am on the east coast where the East River, Charles River and the run off systems from Maine all empty into the areas some ¼ mile to a mile away from drinking water treatment facilities so… What the fuck right.

We’re all getting retarded drinking the water and then we can’t escape microplastics or cadmium, lead, mercury and chlorine forever.

Again, deflock shows where they are. Just start mobbing them and fucking them up, sledge hammers go a long way.

And yet, people still download free ROMS. The ported games that aren’t available unless you pay extra is such a scam. Better off a wired 360 controller and Vimms Lair or a mayflash and a wii u pro controller.

After I learned about LibreOffice 12 years ago I never went back but I feel you on that. I used to tell my mom I can find a registration code for Microsoft office and not to pay for it.

I think my windows 10 pc isn’t registered and if it is it’s from a code I found on Google.

I don’t pay for software probably ever unless a year after a release theres nothing around and I genuinely need the software I’ll pay for it but if it’s subscription based I’ll try to find an alternative that does the same but I can find a code for.

Unless you open source which can be iffy on quality if not consistently maintained. FreeCAD proves that.

Nintendo blowing up about ROMS didn’t help a fuckin’ thing.

You have to double check if your external hd isn’t wifi enabled these days. I made sure not to get a wifi enabled one.

It’s why they got rid of memory cards and split screen. More people to buy their own games and systems.

It’s more than the discs. It’s about the fact that you’re not owning what you purchase and you can spend as much as you like on digital and one day, poof, it’ll be gone and so will your money. Discs aren’t able to be deleted. Even if a format goes obsolete, there’s media players like vlc that will play them.

That’s what it’s about.

Like video games

You can buy all the games you want on steam if goes away after 90 days that’s just how it is but when you buy a game for a system at a what 80$-120$ a game you expect to play it forever be able to play it when the wifi goes out, be able to play with your friends, be able to save your data but all that is online and they’re able to use that against the consumer.

They took split screen, they forced us to use internet, they took memory cards, they dissolved servers. What more can they do oh yeah make it so we don’t actually own the game.
