I am a little slow - what exactly I am looking at here¿? Many of them seem to be playing modern warfare 2

With something like dash to dock or dash to panel, you get extra functionality while still retaining the stock workflow of gnome. I myself use near vanilla gnome with dash to dock, clipboard indicator and gsconnect. Out of those only dash to dock modifies the workflow but in a way that supplements the stock workflow.

It is a very long article and the summary will not be able to properly catch the essence of it. Just take some time and read the article it is worth the read

Yeah this is an issue I used to face as well. And it is not limited to your comments. Comments from other people were also collapsed and wouldn't load when expanded. I used to think the comment must have been deleted or removed but then those comments used to load up in the lemmy-ui on my computer and on other lemmy clients like voyager, jerboa, etc.

Edit : reading your post more carefully, maybe we have different issues

Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words

I'm not sure if mobile AMD users have to do the same

No we don't. Mesa and the kernel automatically decide to use the dGPU for intensive tasks. It is only on rare ocassions that I have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 to force the use of the dGPU. It has been months since I last did it

Yes it's a luxury but in a lot of 3rd countries, these luxuries help people to learn and improve their English and general soft skills.

People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.

I don't know man. The companies have no respect for us as consumers. Why should we respect them and their copyright in that case.

"justify" stealing it from them.

In many cases, these services stream shows which they did not have a hand in creating but own the distribution rights to. In that case pirating seems like a weak case of stealing to me. The original crew have already been paid and rewarded for their work and now the streaming companies are just storing and streaming that content which is the same thing piracy websites do. On the other hand pirating newer content and content that is platform exclusive because they(HBO, Disney, etc) are the ones that made it seems a lot more like stealing to me. I am not going to feel guilty for pirating shit like friends or Seinfeld. I am also not going to feel guilty for pirating content which has been geoblocked in such a way that it is not available in my country through any legal means.

What I am trying to say with this is that there are situations where piracy is both convenient and justified

Guy pays good money for a 4k tier Netflix subscription because he does not want to pirate. Has a home theatre linux machine because he is worried about the privacy risks of his smart tv and hence doesn't connect his TV to the internet. Finds that he can only get a low bitrate 720p stream on his PC . He is appalled at the fact he isn't getting the quality he paid for and amused at the fact that he would have gotten better quality if he had just pirated and concludes that piracy is just the better experience.
