  • I think that ship has unfortunately sailed.

    Even if I buy a game on Steam I don’t technically own it. If the game was ever deleted from their servers and then I lost my local copy either because I uninstalled it or because I got a new computer, I would have no way to get my game back, and I doubt that Valve would refund me.

    But some games literally don’t have physical releases, even if I did have an optical drive. So what option do I have?

    The only real solution to all of this is a changing copyright law that says that once a piece of software no longer becomes commercially available through legitimate means it becomes legal to pirate it. But that would require politicians around the world to a, understand computers and b, not being 900,000 years old.


  • Attacking Poland would be a stupid thing to do even if Poland wasn’t a member of NATO.

    The Russians can barely fight a war on one front, opening a second front would be insanely stupid.

    Poland has all the same weapons Ukraine has, plus an air force capable of hitting the broad side of the barn.

    What am I saying of course they’re going to do it. This is the country that thinks that orbitally dropping unguided bombs constitutes an effective military strategy.









  • They’re not more or less in the way just because they’re electric.

    I’ve never understood the hate for them. Sure people leave them in annoying places and inconsiderate with them but that’s not the scooters fault. Also it’s a very easy problem to solve if authorities could be bothered, if a scooter is found in the way then fine the last person to use it.
