Funny, literally just found out today reddit is now only indexable by google. They have paid partnerships. So that specific feature (which I also make heavy use of) will continue to work but not on duck duck go or other engines. I'm gonna start appending lemmy instead of reddit and maybe just ditch google altogether. Search results have been pretty bad all round for quite a while.

You sir/madam have just earned my vote. Where do I register?
Damage from digital piracy of Japanese music reached 22.4 billion to 92.2 billion yen ($142 million to $586 million at current rates) in 2022
2 things:
-
My streaming platform still doesn't have a lot of older Japanese music. And they literally acquired a Japanese music publisher. (I use qobuz). If you're concerned about losing money make your content more accessible instead of chasing those who've doing what you should be.
-
This is a common false equivalence. Piracy doesn't lose you money. There's no guarantee the people who pirate would pay for content if piracy wasn't an option.
How difficult would it be for companies to have staged releases or oversee upgrades themselves? I mostly just use Linux but upgrading itself is a relatively painless processing and logging into remote machines to trigger an update is no harder. Why is this something an independent party should be able to do without end user discretion?
Like... Trump. The guy with no political experience or cohesive message who seemed to do it just cause he could. We kept thinking the next big scandal was what would end his campaign but then he won and somehow had even more scandals in office. No ones arguing unconventional people can't win. But do you want a leader you want to support or one you don't. Cause right now the dividing line is we don't want trump, not we want Biden and that makes him a liability.
In a race to the bottom I never bet against trump. Literally if Biden stops talking today I bet he'd have a better chance of winning by the end of it.
I'm sure one who isn't a senior citizen wouldn't struggle to justify their cognitive ability for the role.
Well hey, the roman empire had a pretty good run for a bit. Let's roll the dice and see /s
In all seriousness I don't know how America as a country can survive giving presidential authority to a insurrectionist figure head and open political pawn. There's a point where you realise the political institutions do not and have not ever served your best interests and that sh*t always ends badly.
I wish our political leaders were rational enough to listen when everyone tells them their wrong and that their putting ego before their responsibilities.
If the left leaning voters choices are the centrist Democrats or the rightest republicans it's not too strange for them to not vote when no one really seems to represent their values. Although I think they definitely should cause the scales are tipping in the wrong direction, but it isn't their fault it's the Democrats who prefer a shaky status quo to actual leftist policy. If either party wants to drum up votes and actually pretend to be democratic they should put proportional representation as a goal for their next term. That way at least the oligarchachal tyranny of the minority could be repressed. Of course neither does cause republicans will lose and Democrats don't want to risk and actual leftist party overtaking them when Americans aren't forced into the 2 party system.
I wish we lived in a world where our political leaders were transparent enough to do that. There's so much fronting and pandering I just don't believe anything anyone claims to say anymore because more often than not their just after some reaction from me. The only reason anyone should have to give for quitting their job is "I don't feel well enough to continue".

Checking for reviews I'm seeing anywhere from 1-2 stars. Have you ever made a claim with them? How was the process?
I should've clarified I'm optimising for a smooth claim process more than the cheapest possible provider. I'm also aiming for legal cover and accidental damage protection with about 2k in away from home items as well.
