Yep. Honestly while it doesn't look amazing it's still kinda cool. Its history is just fucked up and not something I'd wanna celebrate.

This was my experience just setting it up as dualboot and not doing super much with it. Sure I failed installing it a few times but I came out with more understanding of file systems, and in the end the wiki told me everything I needed to know.

Sure, but where's the upside? (ethically, not sure if consuming your own meat could have some sort of weird effect on you, even though afaik the usual cannibalism issues wouldn't apply). If anything it's more ethical to take it from yourself because you consent to it, the farm animal probably doesn't.

Afaik GPL 2 would be stopping google from making android closed source anyway, unless I got something wrong about the license terms. But if anything that supports your argument. The main reason google is generally supportive of open source is that they recognize that they benefit from it. The moment that changes, google will try their best to close off anything it can (granted I don't think it's that likely to change, but they're already abusing their position plenty).

I wish. The conclusions drawn from it are beyond questionable, but if you give people the opporturnity to do something that is convenient for them and fucks over others, far too many will do it. You need rules preventing that. The custom not allowing people to put more cows is that rule keeping things intact.

Tragedy of the commons being a real thing is the perfect illustration of why unrestrained capitalism is terrible. If hoarding wealth isn't considered acceptable, the social pressure will prevent it from occuring. Anyone breaking the rules will suffer actual consequences.

Plebeians were specifically the free roman citizens, explicitly not owned. Please heed your own advice, internet person that seems to be economically left but socially further right than the average nazi.

That's what the first sentence in the image says too

I find it interesting that somehow most of the comments assume anon is complaining when the pic is gigachad and it really reads more as making fun of himself without really having a problem with it.

Like honestly it sounds pretty alright

Yes, but it's not a factor at for example lan tournaments. It's just a compounding number anyway. Ping can easily be sub 20 ms even online, then the up to 12ms (average 6ms) difference between 60 and 240hz is more significant than further ping reduction.

I think there's a lot of placebo involved, but it does make a difference in games with direct competition. If 2 people in CS headshot each other, even being 1ms faster can flip the outcome in some cases. I can definitely see why you'd just want as fast as possible.

Are you implying they should somehow have perfect quality control? Generally the lost customer trust is enough of an incentive to not let things like this happen. Things slip through QA, and the only way to prevent that at least 99.99% of the time is to invest MASSIVE amounts of money that really aren't justified for everything. Aviation does this, because there is significant risk of death if something goes wrong, so regulations force them to. Other industries arguably should (car manufacturers...), but a random security software? No.

People buy cosmetics because they think they look cool and want to support the game they like. In WoWs, some premium ships are honestly hella fun in unique ways (while others are dumb op but of course some ppl pay for that too). In gachas it's a mix of just wanting the character and gameplay advantages.

Personally the stuff I don't get is spending money on the mentioned match 3 games, farm sims, and casual mobile games in general. Which are a huge market as mobile gaming is, for whatever reason I cannot comprehend, the largest gaming market in terms of revenue.
