For creative software like that, the vast majority of people getting it pirated are amateurs, and if they get good enough, they’ll eventually be paying back.

Same thing with photoshop, if I hadn’t pirated it, I NEVER would have developed the skill set required to use it effectively. Piracy is the company getting thousands of future potential customers for free. How many thousands of people pirated it and went on to work professionally and pay for it? Adobe wouldn’t be near what it is without piracy.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

My hypothesis is user account consolidation. I made several accounts across multiple instances (to deal with outages) but now only use a couple of them. So maybe people are not using their alts as much

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

You must have read your own comment

I remember my friends mom got an s3 and the water damage tag was triggered before they even left the store, they tried to exchange it for another one but it was triggered too.

I’m still convinced that many of them were purposely triggered so they could deny warranty claims. It makes too much sense.(I know s series isn’t sony, I just mean most companies do this).

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Yes.

It’s a fantastic software. All of your files are kept in plaintext, too, which is important to me.

You do NOT have to pay for syncing, you can pay them for their services, but I use syncthing to sync from my phone to my PC and server. It updates almost instantly. They also don’t try to block you from using third party sync options.

Obsidian is a notes software, but you can make canvases like this and link multiple notes together. It also supports mark down.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

No dedicated mobile apps, and I would rather not use it in a browser.

I do a significant amount of my writing and story boarding on my phone, Obsidian has checked every box I’ve ever needed

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I use Syncthing-Fork, by the way, just a note I forgot to add. More features.

I let it run 24/7. It’s been running constantly for months. It uses less than 1% in a day so it’s reasonable to not have to turn it on when I want to sync.

I have no idea if collaboration is a functionality of the paid obsidian features, it could be, but I don’t even have an account with them. Syncthing doesn’t support this (its just used for syncthing files to multiple devices), however you can share a note and edit it as long as you are not editing it simultaneously. Like, a back and forth kind of deal.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Yeah, you can set how many versions to keep back ups of and for how long to keep them.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Do you also pronounce origin like Oregon

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I need to get around to setting up the arr stack but I’ve been manually downloading torrents for over a decade now I just forget there are better solutions

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

The majority of linux articles have me checking the comments first to see if someone talks about ridiculous click bait crap, honestly saved me a lot of time.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

To be fair, it’s the articles themselves

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

I guess that depends on your definition, but really I’d lump it into handheld computer, I’ve owned several, such as the GPD Win series

You can install desktop Linux software on it with no need to perform any types of “jailbreak” so while steam os is a proprietary skin for Linux, its not really locked down the way traditional brick consoles are.

Console doesn’t have a hard definition, so anyone could come through and make a case for why it is.

Edit: you can see the people replying after me all have different definitions and standards for the word, it’s arbitrary really

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

PC games run on servers, but you don’t pay for a Windows monthly subscription to play the games, you just pay for the individual games themselves.

These servers are hosted by third party companies anyway.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

What I mean

Xbox: you have to pay to even be able to play online at all, even if the third party servers are paid for and operated by other means. Third party games still require you to pay xbox. They (third party) own the servers and pay for the servers. Even free games require you to pay Xbox.

PC: you can play games online without paying your OS provider.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Again, it’s a loose definition and it’s pointless and purposefully contrarian to argue about it.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

This unironically

I work in Louisiana, people down there freak the fuck out if it drops to low 60s and I’m in a Tshirt and shorts.

Granted I’ll wear exactly that in 30 degrees

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

My argument of that is that we’ve only just started looking in a massive, massive, massive universe. Like, the other day. The big bang theory is less than a hundred years old and we only just discovered cosmic background radiation in 1964

We JUST started looking and we probably have no idea what we are looking for or at.

Also, these earth like planets are a fucking guess, a giant maybe. They make their host star, which we make assumptions of about their size, make a tiny hardly perceptible dip in light and we measure the wavelengts that were filtered out.

The more I learn about how this science is done, the more it all just looks like a big fucking maybe that someone spouts so confidently as fact. Like, the track record for fact is pretty thin in science.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

My Dad has experienced traffic like this. He said having strict rules is often worse because you expect others to follow the rules and then they don’t, people die. There’s a sort of complacency involved with rigid rules.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

It’s 27 in mississippi, so only about twice as deadly.

Edit, actually, let’s revisit the data. You said 60 per 100000 vehicles, if you shift that to population, the data point I used, it becomes 32. Only slightly more deadly than living in the southern US

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug, (edited )

Its a pretty similar statistic for most rural states.

Consider that the population is lower but the ratio of people driving is much higher. Less cities, more people have to commute 30-60 minutes, etc.

Part of it is poor infrastructure, yeah(the other southern rural states with similar stats track a better record comparatively based on quality of infrastructure by my own personal anecdote of having driven/lived in them), but it’s just predominantly the ratio of drivers to non drivers as the key factor.

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

Unity has been shitty since they merged with Ironsource. They’re an Ad company now (notice how mobile ads sometimes have the familiar Unity logo now? Yeah that’s why)

Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug,

I worked at Walmart and vividly remember seeing the black Friday magazines showing stuff on sake for ehat it cost just a few months ago
