Literally nobody is advocating for the release of source code. Read the damn petition.

This is very specifically about making sure when you drop support for a product you sold, that it is still usable. Every live service game has testing server files that can be released. Even if those files are a retail product, that’s better than what these people are doing. There is not a single good reason games should be left unplayable after the publisher decides it is no longer profitable to maintain it. Servers do not have to run on the publisher’s dime and there is no longer an expectation for things like anticheat to function once the product reaches the end of expected support. Hundreds of thousands of games have been released and had their support end without taking the playability of the game away from the customer.

Some might suggest that most of the oligarchs are the boomers in these memes.

That’s the plan. Who even has 30 years left anyways?

Less than one collector booster box of cards from the latest set…

Sigh…

Plus you can drink vodka with bits of it in.

And afterwards you can literally shit gold!

That assumes Luigi did it.

I’m not OP, the only position I stated was that many people dislike vegans because they position themselves as mightier than thou without checking their own privilege.

If you’re going to try and turn this around on me, maybe you should try and find a way to make your counter point actually an effective one based on the information I had given you. I didn’t express my privilege to you before you decided to tell me how unaware I am of it. In fact as far as you know before your comment, I could have been a citizen of one of those Mexican villages. Would you have told one of them to check their privilege? I doubt it. But then again, why would they bother arguing with such a tiny world view that assumes they were an edge case at best. Want to talk about the south east Asian farm towns in the same boat? How about aboriginals? Or the many African tribes.

All I know about you is that you’re a vegan and you believe that anyone who eats meat is morally wrong and should feel ashamed for not just eating plant based protein. That’s what you’ve given me. So I should assume that about you. What I shouldn’t assume about you is that you’re a well to do white person in a major metropolitan area of the US or Canada or some other first world power where you know where your next meal comes from and have a stable income. I shouldn’t assume those things about you because you never said those things. See how that works? I know you’re privileged because you don’t worry about edge cases like poor Mexican villages or north Canadian Inuits. I also know you’re privileged because you think your world view is more important than others’ and you talk about it that way on the internet.

So now give it a good thought with the information you can glean from my prior comment to you. Did I say I was anti-veganism? Did I say I eat meat? Did I say I lived in one of those major metropolitan areas where everything is accessible? Is it safe to assume anything at all other than I dislike when people push their beliefs on others to make them feel bad about themselves when all they’re trying to do is get by?

I wouldn’t want an evangelist knocking at your door about becoming a Jehovah’s witness just the same as I don’t want people like you picking on perfectly good people who eat meat. Eating meat doesn’t make you deserving of shame any more than a sinner in the eyes of a church.

And just like you said before how you think all meat eaters know that it’s wrong, you might be projecting a little bit. Because I suspect you know it’s kinda morally gross it is to evangelise through guilt even if the goal is an individual eating less meat.

No he’s saying there are places that can’t get 200g of tofu. So it would need to be imported which would make it cost more than 200g of meat. Also, often times, those places that don’t have 200g of tofu, the people living there grow and eat their own livestock. I personally know of Mexican villages that don’t have a grocery store within 150 miles. So like you’ve already been told once in the thread, check your privilege. I’m happy that you’re happy about your dietary choices. I’m also especially happy for you that you have the opportunity to make those dietary choices. Not everyone can.

Flashdrives are not forever storage. Flashdrives corrupt literally all the time. And old flashdrives that sit around also corrupt while not in use. If you care about your data, store that data in multiple places. Follow the data hygiene rules. 3 2 1: 3 copies of the data, on 2 different storage mediums, with 1 copy off-site.

You’re the only one thinking the joke is about Asians. Which makes you the racist. That’s what I’m saying. The joke is about family owned restaurants and you could have it be any family of any race. You’re the one focusing so hard on their race. You’re the one with the issue with the race in this picture.

Read: you have a problem with the fact that there is an again child in this photo and would rather it be a non-Asian.

Do you see the problem with that?

You are assuming it’s a race thing at all. So you think this same photo where the restaurant was a family owned burger joint and the kid at the cash register was white that suddenly wouldn’t be racist? That makes you the racist. You clocked the race of the child and presumed a whole lot of information that was not given to you. How do you know this isn’t a summer job? How do you know the actual age of the kid? He could be 16 with a slower development. There’s so much that you are assuming based solely off of your experience around Asians and Asian restaurants.

Funny, it’s been less than 24hrs and I got a ticket in complaining about why PDFs look one way in Ease US PDF editor and totally different in Adobe Reader. You’re just wrong. I didn’t say it was worth the money to pay for Adobe, and I didn’t say it wasn’t a scam. But I do tell the truth when it comes to true parity, there are competitors to PDF editing but there is no free PDF editors that properly do the job 100% of the time.

Adobe acrobat is THE PDF editor. PDF is a proprietary format created and developed by Adobe. Any software that can edit PDFs is doing so in a format they do not have any control over. And there just aren’t any proper PDF editors that are feature complete. now if you’re an individual who needs to make a PDF in the privacy of your own home, by all means, use a cheap or free or FOSS application to do so. But if you need that PDF to be readable and useable and seamlessly compatible on other computers for other users for ever? Better pay the Adobe tax because there is a good chance, it won’t look the way you expect it to when someone opens it up in Adobe which their company definitely has.

Did we read the same article? The article was pretty open to the idea especially in the demonstrated environments. I also read nothing about AI…

Revolt isn’t new. Matrix and revolt are around the same age and are both not even feature competitive with Discord. So until there is a fully featured truly open alternative to discord, there will be still others trying to take discord’s audience.

I’ve seen this meme before, therefore it is inconveniencing my internet experience and that is against the rules!

Not always. People often wish to transfer plates to their new car so they don’t have to memorize a new one.

I think I can shed some light on this. In California, you pretty much have to have a car. There are roughly 40 million residents in California. When you get a car, a license plate is issued. When you register a car, a license plate is issued. When you order a vanity plate, a license plate is issued. The same car can be registered to several license plates before any of them return to circulation. If a plate stays inactive for a number of years, then it returns to circulation to be reissued. I’m not sure about California, but some states it’s 10 years, others have 20 years and I’m sure still others have other lengths of time for these numbers to expire. The reason for this is that you can let your registration lapse and still re-register your car once you can afford to do so. Or a car can sit in some legal dispute for a long period of time. Various reasons a car’s registration may lapse but still want to be registered again some day. So let’s say you buy a used car in California and then register new vanity plates on it. Let’s also say you’re the 3rd owner. It’s not unreasonable that that particular car have 4 different license plate numbers associated with it that have not been reregistered or are currently in use. Also, many people own more than one car.
