Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people's lives?
Well, the US is involved in the war, even if indirectly, and considers Ukraine a strategic partner, so one could say he's acting against the interests of the US.
I mean, that's all true, and yet they're still light-years ahead of the US...
Also, in guessing this was made by an American, because nobody outside of there would call left parties liberal. Liberal parties are to the right, it's just that the US doesn't actually have an actual left.
I don't know for sure, I'm not an avid watcher, but I've seen several pretty big channels talk about this in their videos and ask people to check their subscription because it does apparently happen.
That's the real kicker, isn't it? "They're stealing our jobs"... but nobody else is willing to do said jobs.
The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren't buying a piece of software, you're buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn't be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.
And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?
For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.
Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.
Hey, Tony, I'll give you five bucks and a swift kick in the nuts for Sony. It's the best offer I ever made for it!
And they didn't mention politics at all, they said not everyone wants to be reminded of the orange shitstain. I agree with them.
Technically, no, but then they need another source of revenue, because servers at that scale aren't cheap.
Lemmy is more reddit-like, while mastodon is more twitter-like.
They do federate, so yes, you should be able to see, like and comment between them.
As a drinker of both, I'll have you know coffee a baked bean beverage, thank you very much.
Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.
