I agree. It’d obviously be the best experience for the customer if they could choose whichever store/launcher they want to buy on and not have to worry about having to pay more if they don’t shop around. Like the tea with price printed on the can so it’s consistent.

When you see this phrasing in English language, ‘it’ refers to the main subject of the preceding statement. In this case as a reply to the main post the subject is the “$322 Million Spotify Piracy Case”.

This has been in motion since before AI was being pushed in everything.

Same as you would download anything else.

I’m not sure what you’re buying, but I prioritize purchases of things I will actually own and therefore do own most of the things I buy.

These companies maintain that even though you possess a PDF, you still do not own it and do not have the rights associated with ownership.

Valve enforces same pricing on all stores a game is available on so EGS can’t compete on price

Obvious falsehood. Did you just choose to omit relevant nuance? The post is literally about games which are free on EGS and non-free on Steam.

Right? 1080p is literally resolution of 1920x1080.

Maybe they meant to say Dot Pitch?

It might also be from oxidation. There are a lot of ways that can happen, even directly through the walls of the tubing between the kegs and faucets if it’s the cheap kind.

Also be cognizant that in that scenario you would have benefitted greatly from a system which does immense harm to a subset of the population by exploiting addiction.

You gotta love how getting suggested content they don’t like from the recommendation engine means they’re a victim.

In reality it’s supposed to be even more strict. They’re trying to get around this by having a private company own the cameras. If the government owned the cameras, they would need to get a warrant with a sufficiently narrow target from a judge before initiating electronic surveillance to track the targets’ location.

If something is really going on which justifies it, getting a warrant is trivial and probable cause is a low bar.

Email has been a decentralized federated system from the start, though I’m not aware of any community I’d trust to be a more privacy-respecting host than the available commercial offerings.

Our legal entity is in Sweden, where the law does not allow for any government to force us to spy on our users.

You’ll agree that Proton doing better would require them to move to a different country, right?

Also Mullvad doesn’t offer email accounts, does it? Seems that they couldn’t have a ‘no user data’ policy if they did since the emails would be exactly that.

the LNT model isn’t actually used there at all.

But it is in use at plants in the US as it’s built in right from planning before construction even begins, because LNT has thoroughly influenced legal and regulatory requirements.

But if that’s the extent of the approach you’d still be giving the same information to your VPN provider.

Most people would be better off just making sure all of their traffic uses TLS. If you also need to obscure your address from your destination’s host, then combine the two protections.

You shouldn’t need to pay for a VPN to prevent your ISP from seeing whether your torrent is public-domain or not if you’re using TLS.

F-Droid works […]

[…]

[…] that’s going to severely limit the potential userbase for that package.

I don’t think most developers who are putting their Open-Source apps on F-Droid have any minimum user threshold.

Agreed. I’ve made a day trip to the neighboring state to buy a used car from a CL listing, but I probably wouldn’t travel to the other side of the country for it.

Similarly, for many things I wouldn’t travel more than an hour to get them.

The distance radius really needs to be adjustable per search to be useful outside of densely populated areas.

It seems like on CL the city labels are mostly for human readable convenience and behind the scenes it’s by distance. You can set a distance from any point:
