I mean, I still try to do all these things.

But I still don't really believe anything I do makes any real difference, because my individual impact is pretty much zero when compared to billionaires and corpos.

You keep posting that without giving any source for your claims except for some screenshot out of context.

Is this a real concern or do you just have some weird vedentta against the guy? Seiosuly, you're in every comment section when this website is mentioned.

It's not like physical media makes any difference anyway these days.

Actual disk often gets just a glorified installer, and even if it includes the entire game you're likely to have to activate it online anyway.

The "own your games" ship has sailed long ago, unless you only buy no-DRM and your own backups.

Also, fun fact: Kagi owner believes only criminals want privacy and GDPR doesn't apply to them, because they said so!

I mean, of course USA has culture - it's one of their most successful international exports!

I think when people complain about lack of culture they usually mean "old" culture, since USA as a country is still relatively young.

No, it is insane. I don't know of other countries that allow a corporation to just not allow you to sue them and force you into arbitration.

Japanese publishers' idea of fighting against manga piracy: kill all legal options and launch their own website that is only available in USA (kmanga).

Gee, I wonder why that didn't work!

But they're not - it's the same old, tired excuse that was never true.

"Too many different distros" was never really a good argument.
Just support one and users will figure it out, like we always do.

But it's not a Spotify client, is it?

IIRC it uses Spotify APIs to generate playlists, but that's all.
Actual music gets streamed from YouTube.

Just because you could use it for knitting it doesn't mean it was its purpose.
There's not a lot of detail, but you can check on the Wiki why it's ultimately an unlikely explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_dodecahedron#Purpose

These volunteers didn't think about it in these terms.
They gave away their work for free to help people learn languages, and for a long time Duolingo seemed like the best platform for that.

Starting your own platform is much more difficult than contributing to an existing one that seems to be operated with some amount of goodwill...

They already said they don't want to.

They asked you to install the app on purpose, in hopes that you'll decide it's too much hassle and decide not to delete the account.
