I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Zorque,

You said prevent, not eliminate. There's tens of thousands of ways to prevent piracy. They are not infallible, but they are preventatives.

There is nothing on this earth that will eliminate piracy.

Where would you like to move the goalposts now?

Zorque,

🎶Come to Quark's, Quark's is fun, come right now, don't walk, run!🎶

Zorque,

There is still an issue of human bias, though. A thought is not accepted unless it's widely accepted. Even much of our established science was once a pipe dream, even with reproducible proof, until it was accepted on a wider scale.

It's not as simple as just providing proof and letting people accept it, you have to appeal to them. Which is exactly what politicians do.

Zorque,

He doesn't live in the federation until the last episode, though. He lives on a Bajoran space station administrated by Starfleet.

Zorque,

Americans all make a big fuss about freedom, and about Texas being the place with the most freedom,

Texans are probably the only ones making some claim to high levels of freedom exclusive to Texas, not Americans in general.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Zorque,

Consume prilosec.

Zorque,

Odo is a Kandra?

Zorque,

Why quote yourself as a response?

You seem to be taking this all very seriously for someone bitching about people taking things too seriously.

I use linux for the same reason I wear fuzzy socks and sweaters

My understanding of the history of fashion is that back in the 1950s America it was expected that you wore a suit/dress at work unless you had a different uniform. There were a bunch of very boring people who thought that we should be wearing office job garb all the time, because they wore suits so much it was their default...

Zorque,

A button down shirt and jeans, according to Justin Long.

Zorque,

He's got a giant mug for beetle snuff.

Zorque,

I'd say make it Worf and a Mek'leth, maybe throw mirror Bareil in the background

What inconsequential or surprisingly good thing can I get from Aliexpress?

Im curious as I usually use the site very occasionally to get certain electronic parts or order from PCBway like I just picked up some cheap but infinitely better than stock gps antennas for my LoRa T beams and im about to get a set of also still cheap but much better than stock 915mhz antennas but i kinda wanna throw some other...

Zorque,

Your two links seem to be sending mixed messages.

Zorque,

Thing is, it's usually earlier, around 7:30am when I was in school, earlier if you wanted the breakfast they had.

Zorque,

Discusting.

Zorque,

I don't give a darn!

Zorque,

Yes, but there's a disconnect between helping directly and helping indirectly. Listening is indirect help, passive help. It's helping simply by existing, which is antithetical to the above commenters train of logic.

I'm not saying you're wrong, or that it's not something that people should learn to do... but it's not always something you can solve by making that connection.

Zorque,

Let's be fair, some of them just like fascism.

Zorque,

We've got Beskar Man right there, though!

Zorque,

Robin Hood

(I think it's The Fox and the Hound, but I don't think I've ever seen it)

Zorque,

Gotta have a way to effortlessly kill redshirts. Whoops! Another plasma conduit blew out. Poor Gary.

Zorque,

That's what the inertial dampeners are for!

... if they were working

Zorque,

Ah yes, the origin of slash fiction...

Zorque,

Are you a writer for Wormhole Xtreme?

Zorque,

Jizz Wailers are the best kind of musicians.

Zorque,

You'd rather eat a stove top than homemade dressing?
