An unsurprising decision but still horribly disappointing.
I do a lot of photography and I share it on my deviant art page.
An unsurprising decision but still horribly disappointing.
I had to look into it because once you mentioned that I was curious.
So the saying originated sometime before 1930 when it first appeared in print and likely in the 1800s. (Source)
And when I went to an inflation calculator the earliest date I could select was January of 1913. Which I couldn’t help but share the results of.
About $3.20.
So yeah, about a dime a dozen… 111 years ago lol.
USBs nowadays are a dime a dozen basically for 16GB sticks
They can literally be bought in 10 packs for less than $30.
If they don’t give one back nowadays so be it.
Back in the day it was a terrible loss though
Cheap VPNs typically are cheap for a reason, and those reasons typically make them not worth the savings (like logging data and selling it)
Of course if your country doesn’t care then sail away brother and be sure to seed
My country unfortunately cares a lot so a VPN is mandatory for me
That’s the best part
They redefine “own” and “buy” in their TOS
And so do many many other online retailers that sell digital goods
Do yourself a favor and don’t play the Gollum game
It’s really bad
Having a sale price adjusted for local currency would likely go a long way, and I don’t mean just a price conversion I mean an adjusted sale price. Some regions 9£ is a lot of money vs their monthly income and others it’s not much at all.
Not so much currently (in the case of Russia) as you likely can’t sell it there due to sanctions, but in general that would help a lot in boosting sales vs piracy.
Report them first though so that there’s a chance their content might be taken down
It’ll only go away if it’s reported
Or when I lived in a place with shit internet and I had games that needed an online handshake to play, I basically pirated every game that needed that check because I wouldn’t be able to play otherwise
And they usually ran better too, funny that
Couldn’t agree more on it being a bad justification for piracy
Though if you bought it and the license check stops working later I’m not even sure I’d call patching it to work without the check piracy, it’s simply fixing something you own
Yeah you’re going to use the same tools but to me I don’t see it as piracy but simply a right to repair thing
TIL, I’m going to have to check this out later for sure
Usually my motive is, “It’s 3am I’ll just put this temp placeholder here and fix it in the morning.”
Proceeds to not fix it due to forgetting by the morning
My “favorite” is when following the steps to reproduce a specific bug you get an entirely different bug then what was reported
People lying on the Internet?
They can’t do that, that’s wrong
Straight up IMO Andor is the best Star Wars show to come out on Disney plus
The other Star Wars shows that came out on steaming are pretty meh
Mando was pretty damn good season 1 but quickly turned meh
Star Wars Visions is worth the watch IMO as some cool Star Wars content but it’s pretty different than the other Star Wars shows which makes it better
My roommate and I enjoyed Andor, Loki, and some of the other Star Wars stuff
But yeah their selection is pretty limited, which is why we cancelled our subscription awhile ago
Sometimes
Usually I think of a one time donation as a purchase price for me or sometimes an annual subscription fee depending on how much I use it
Though the amount I put down ain’t much, I still think it’s a good idea
Ah that explains a lot and they do sound pretty unhinged
Thanks for the link
At no point did I dispute the accusations, I simply asked out of curiosity why people say Empress is crazy.
As for why I referred to her as they, I honestly didn’t notice that I did. I typically use gender neutral terms when referring to people simply out of habit.
Make sure to use official White House stationary for it, that way it’s official presidential business.
