"It's capitalism" is an unsatisfying explanation because one the one hand it's sort of trivially true, but on the other, good movies have been made under capitalism.

But you went to watch a blockbuster. These are made to make money above all else. You just aren't the target demographic.

Also, at least in the X360 times some games wouldn't have dedicated servers, instead hosting matches on the console of one of the players.

And you would be paying. To host the server on your own machine.

Poland.

He could've easily got it solved but he didn't have money and the public defender just told him confessing was the best option.

It might be a legend, it's just a thing that supposedly happened to someone in a community I participate in.

At least he wasn't like the aristocracy in the past, when they had everything since they where born.

Musk's parents totally don't own an emerald mine in Africa.

I heard of a guy who went to prison because he bought something from Allegro (Polish Amazon) over TOR. Someone used the same exit node for hacking, so they pinned it on him.

PS4 also sold 40M units by it's third year.

It at least performs better in browser than as a desktop app, for me at least.

The smartphone was a disaster. We shouldn't be connected to the Internet constantly.

I think the mm object is the most worrying thing about this, not the fact that it's a standard WebView.

Google got into the Linux space, into email and into open source software and it seems those survived the experience.

Try to start up your own independent email server instead of going with one of the largest providers. You will never be able to message anyone on Gmail.

Well, PeerTube works like torrents - which are proven to scale well. Main problem stems from monetization.

Which is sad, because it used to be a much more social platform. I used to run a small channel in 2007 and I'd get people messaging me, or adding me to friends (yes, that was a thing on YouTube).
