The piracy bugbear has been raised as the reason why corporations aren't selling enough since mp3 was invented back in the day. It isn't always the case. OnlyFans is pirated but the piracy doesn't affect their bottom line enough to drive them out of business. If you think about it, lots of pornography on the internet is free, and they're still okay. It's a much more nuanced discussion than "piracy is stealing" than the corporations want you to think it is.

Edit: if I had to guess, the niche they serve or the value they add on top of "just porn" is something their customers are willing to pay for.

xep,

I tried looking for where the company developing Logseq was located and couldn't find any information at all. The only thing I found was this in the T&C

It also seems to use a remarkable amount of CPU power for some reason, I could hear my PC's fans spin up significantly.

xep,

What are the pros and cons of this against modern single seater motor vehicles like motorcycles? Seems like the giant wheel would be hard to replace and service.

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....

It's true. Pragmatically speaking if you don't have access to the server software you can't play it if the servers go down, and besides reverse engineering or the goodwill of the developers I'm not aware of any games with online components that continue to be playable after their servers are taken down.

Next smartphone I buy, which one do you recommend?

Things that make me angry about my current smartphone Samsung Galaxy S21Ultra on a Verizon plan is the mandatory software updates in which they install WITHOUT MY PERMISSION stupid apps like Netflix and addictive gambling games and stacking block games and Candy crush. God knows what else they install without my permission. I...

xep,

It's not supported. According to the devs rooting defeats the purpose of Graphene OS.

What is the patching process when running with Majisk, without OTA? It looked like quite a PITA to me, but I'm using Graphene for the same reason you are.

Edit: I found this

After sideloading an update I'd probably have to do what Trevor posted.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

They don’t use trackers, they are not targeted and they respect your privacy.

In that case it won't matter to anyone that I skipped them.

xep,

I wonder if this'll also affect Tinnitus?

xep,

Were the hackers before not highly skilled? Moderately skilled hackers, perhaps?

xep,

if done right

Who's going to do it? For a myriad of reasons, including "why would we?" it won't be the game developers. How would it be done without support from the developers?

Also, this already exists in a sense in the Steam Workshop.
