Q. No question.

Moopsy wins. Section 31 tried to use them to win the Dominion War, but their agents kept getting killed by them.

Nope, missed out on the September 2023 security update, no phone older than the 4a 5G got it.

Wish I could, but my college's NFC id cards need Google Pay, which doesn't run perfectly on custom ROMs, not to mention several other apps.

I've been reading about LineageOS for my 4a. Looks like it comes with a lot of caveats, and certain Google Apps not working. As much as I hate it, I do actually need some of that, I'm kinda stuck on stock android for now. Probably gonna grab the 8 or 7a on Black Friday.

I think the EU is going to require this soon

Right? My Pixel 4a still works like new but Google's dropping support so I have to get a new one or run a custom ROM. And the new phones don't have headphones jacks!

All that said, I mostly use Bluetooth headphones anyway now, and it's rumored that Google will switch to a 7 year support cycle, so I might just grab a Pixel 8 on Black Friday.

Looking at OP's history, 6/7 of their posts link to Tiblur, and in one they mention owning the site. I think OP is just spamming to promote their own instance.

Sabotage starts blasting on all subspace channels.

Someone actually emailed Valve about this back in 2013. Here's their response: https://i.imgur.com/4sa1Ln6.jpg

Thank you for contacting Steam Support. In the unlikely event of the discontinuation of the Steam network, measures are in place to ensure that all users will continue to have access to their Steam games.

It seems like Valve wants us to think they have an EoL plan. With the goodwill they've built over the years, I want to believe them.

I'd say in your case piracy was 1000% justified. You bought it, you should be able to play it.

I think piracy is acceptable if one of these two conditions are met:

  • You already own a copy of the game
  • The game is no longer sold as new, such that any legitimate copy would have to be secondhand.

identifying legitimate problems with the best available option

Being closed source and using DRM aren't necessarily problems. In Valve's case, they aren't at all. Valve's DRM doesn't hurt performance, and doesn't stop you from playing their games offline.
