Awesome. Sounds like you made the same journey. Right now it feels like I might ditch the dual boot too in a near future.
I use Proton for Steam games. You can enable it in Steam settings, just run it via Steam afterwards. For games purchased via GOG, I use Heroic Launcher which uses a variant of Wine.
I saw a comment expressing this ruling is only applicable to e-books where there already exists an e-book from the publisher, and that it won’t affect media preservation or books that have been scanned (e.g., old textbooks) and that do not have an e-book. Is this true? If so, it’s not all bad.
And wasn’t that what we were promised by capitalism? That we could own our land, our homes and our lives. But even that, they’re turning back on, except for the privileged few. Back to feudalism it is.
Chick-fil-a starting a streaming service sounds like the worst idea ever.
For sure. And Libreoffice doesn’t constantly try to make you save your documents in OneDrive…
This is an interesting point as well. Before, if you weren’t happy with an update or whatnot, you could just keep running the older version. But nowadays that’s impossible in many cases.
I see your point. But as someone else mentioned, there are many programs, apps and what not that shouldn’t require a subscription just by looking at how the software or hardware is set up.
Absolutely. I constantly revisit the services I subscribe to, but to be honest, I still keep some streaming services on a constant subscription even though my viewing patterns differ from month to month. In that case I’m just too lazy, and it’s not a huge hit to my disposable income. I pay for it to be available when I want to use them. I think this might be the case for many others, and coupled with not having a budget and/or financial sense, this can definitely add up for many. I also think many people just forget what services they are subscribed too, and barely even watch their bank account/credit card slip and what’s being withdrawn.
I’ve never found a use for any of this. I only utilise a calendar. How complicated are your people’s lives?
I’d say this might be true for programs, but as long as you download movies, shows and music I’d assume it’s fine as long as you use common sense.
But not run by the original owners. And the current team is really shady. I wouldn’t trust downloading an .exe from there.
This reaffirms my wish to go back to monkey.
Thanks for this awesome app, and probably being the only mbin-app out there (if I’m not mistaken?).
I’m just waiting for some FOSS purist to find fault in this.
