Nor will I adhere to it.

I think you're letting your own biases blind you. I'm not going to defend Notch or anything like that (and Musk can gargle a 50' golden cock and balls, for the record) but I'd consider myself to be quite in the loop about the general happenings in the gaming world and still didn't know about this shit so I don't think it's unfair to assume the average consumer is going to know too much more than "creator of one of the greatest games of all time supports game ownership. Cool!" and likely not read any further than that because we're still talking about people on the internet. So yes, I do think it's an advantage to have a headline like that. And for the smarter people who understand the world is full of nuance, we see an alt-right fascist expressing a surprisingly left-leaning ideology.

FG's installer has a RAM limiter option, correct.

Maybe so but the more big-name supporters of the concept of owning ones games, the better. Not to mention the juxtaposition of his other views from what I've been seeing from him adds to the absurdity of the concept of not keeping what you pay money for.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

As opposed to those dry showers. I hate those.

Right, hands down.

Despite the fact that limiting liability is exactly what the EULA does. You don't get to have it both ways, corpo scum!

Oh no, I feel so bad that it would remove their choice to steal from their customers. Moving on.

6, she looks nice. How's that answer?

Of course not, that'd be madness!

 

I've just recently got my hands on a Video and put an iFlash Quad in it. I intend to use it as a music source in my car and I normally put my phone on one of those magnetic mounts that you shove in the air vent (like this) so I'd like to do the same with my ipod so it's accessible to replay/skip songs while driving. This in mind, my question is whether it's safe to put the ipod on the magnetic mount without borking the ipod? I know electronics used to be sensitive to this but my knowledge of tech tells me it should be fine now that there isn't a spinning metal disk inside it but I'd prefer to not find out the hard way.

 

As hinted at in the title, assuming the technology/means existed that could absorb energy fast enough, would it be possible to stop a star from going supernova, effectively "calming" it?

This is for a novel (not exactly a sci-fi one) but I'd like to keep in the realms of "technically possible".

Edit. Thank you to everyone for providing answers and specific thanks to @Solemn@lemmy.dbzer0.com @radix@lemmy.world and @Deestan@lemmy.world for the for the further reading/watching materials that have inspired a narrative solution that is kinda hand-wave-y but should be good enough to hold up to scrutiny until the moment someone with a PhD (or good enough knowledge) takes a closer look at a fictional word with a soft magic system and smashes the big ol' BS button which I think is about as much as fantasy novel writer can ask for.
