Or aliens copied 3rd century Rome.

I’ll just tell people to Duckduckgo it!

Duck it.

Santa is a die hard capitalist, just like his best friend: Supply-side Jesus!

Lutris is a game launcher for Linux that can install games from your GOG, Epic, and Steam accounts. I believe it even supports Proton which is a compatibility layer to run Windows games on Linux (which is a Valve project that is based on Wine).

I don’t understand what you mean. Please explain.

You speak of copyright infringement. Some people call it IP theft but in reality it has nothing to do with stealing in the traditional sense of the word (such as stealing a bicycle). You can’t actually steal something that’s still there after you “take it.”

I remember getting a device that came with Vista. I reinstalled Vista on it and it still sucked. I then installed a pirated version of Windows 7 on it; the performance difference was night and day. It’s not @TheEighthDoctor@lemmy.world’s fault that Microsoft is certifying incompatible hardware.

I’m laughing at myself right now. I keep wishing people would switch to more progressive politics when people cannot even switch to a free piece of software with zero drawbacks even when their software starts blocking other software they use.

I was thinking more of uninstalling this 81 GB/hour game and enrolling in flight school (if you have data cap overage fees). But I like the way you think!

If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.

@smeg@feddit.uk showed me where I was confused. I thought YOU were calling this a moral issue; I just understood your comment wrong.

I am well aware of how Nintendo treats emulator devs, game modders, organizations that make better games in the same genre, and full blown ROM distribution websites exactly the same even though only one of these groups of people are breaking any laws.

Exactly. Many people would say is “Why would Cubans be Republicans” but all I see is more Floridamans* from Florida.

*Floridamen is obviously not the grammatically correct term

You grow up in Flordia, you become a Florida man. It’s not like it’s white genetics that makes people bigoted; it’s the culture and the toxic media.

It feels like people in this country focus on labeling organizations and people as good or evil.

If the Republicans are evil, then the Democrats must be the good guys.

What we should be doing is labeling actions as evil and enforce punishments for those who do these actions; regardless of who they are affiliated with.

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I felt I missed something. (Also, I didn’t post that, I was just confused by the one who replied to it.)

What did I get flipped?

No, if more than two people are mad at something, it’s because of the hive mind or Russian trolls.

The wider Youtube community is pretty upset Nintendo is trying to get rid of Palworld.

Why wouldn’t torrenting the source code of proprietary software would be a legal issue? I don’t care of you do it but I’m curious why you only think it’s a moral issue.

It’s already lost. Lemmy is mainly now just users that hate reddit (the company itself). It doesn’t have the same far-left/progressive and tech loving atmosphere it did only a few months ago.

edit: And yes, I do understand most of the population is moderate/centrist and not fans of free and open source software.
