Contractual obligations cannot override laws does not mean the law is not legally binding. It just means that a contract cannot be put on an equal pedestal as a legal basis since a law can override it. Say a consumer protection law states you have a warranty that is tied to the device and not the purchase. But then the manufacturer put ToS/contract clause stating the warranty that comes with the device must be accompanied by sales receipt as well as the warranty card. Those clauses are not legally binding and if the company doesn't honor the warranty, you can sue them for breaking said consumer protection law instead
It does make me wonder tho, because I know universal power supply exists. But the question is how efficient it is and how much would it save cost by having a single type of optimized manufacturing line compared to 2.
Edit: Hmm, I just realized they could make a variant of the same PCB so I guess the cost saving is moot point
I re-read the post and somehow missed the DRM free part so that is on me. Thanks, yeah I can see why someone would be confused by this. Still I think it has merit because of the possible metadata in addition to the game itself
Oh I know that to run it you only need a single executable. What I'm talking about is more like sometimes there's a registry that is needed somehow by the game (maybe a form of DRM since the installer asks for keys back then without internet). But then again, the last time I tried doing that is when copying data over CD/DVD was still a thing. I have no idea how modern games actually handle the registry now or if they are needed at all because I use steam and if anything is wrong with the game after reinstalling windows, they do some magic in the background to fix it.
I feel like I'm missing something still. From my understanding just copying the file doesn't always work (unless it is an installer). So option 1 would still need more work? That's why my assumption goes to running the game directly off of the NAS
The latency not to mention the speed of NAS would be limited compared to local NVMe. So if you install a game on NAS, it may take a while to load. Of course it also depends on the specific games, but generally it is not a good idea to install heavy programs on a network unless that program is specifically made for network use (think, collabora)
I would like to add something too because I only remember it just now. But I recall someone mentioned that bluesky moderation is unique and I quite like the idea but I've never used bluesky myself so idk how true it is. Basically, an account chooses who to trusts to be a moderator for said account. So that content that is curated by said moderator is the one that the account sees. If the account opt to not be moderated then it can see everything
Because whether you agree or not, sandbox is a necessary for banking app. No other app should ever be able to EASILY (emphasis on easily) perform arbitrary read on the banking app data.
Until web standard can agree to have device bound session, it won't happen. Cookie stealer malware is just too dangerous to perform financial transaction. So maybe for read only stuff it is fine
That's more in line with what I was thinking, yeah. The rest is just hoping that people will not abuse the tag (which, with enough mass, the noise would probably be drowned out by genuine people anyway)
Coming back here from another discussion, I do find it funny now that a legal entity can choose to not pay taxes but a human cannot avoid that in any reasonable way
I'd say FOSS is not more political than paying taxes. FOSS is just another way of using the copyright law enforcement without which FOSS cannot exist. If no copyright law enforcement is in place, then the GPL license wouldn't have power. So FOSS is just another way a law abiding citizen may use their rights/entitlement and perform their obligation with copyright law like how they have right/entitlement and obligation from taxes.

To be fair, having multiple country that has open source governing body would help to have a redundant in case one country goes mental
SEA market is not a good one for high end stuff. Until they can get big enough to make budget level THEN they may get into Indonesia officially

A switch is an input type checkbox isn't it?
This is how bluesky does it. So as I mentioned earlier, it is the user that opt to be moderated and they can choose their moderator.

Implementation wise, I think it would be like tagging. See how many people tag the post as what

Hmmm, I guess it depends on what you mean by capital. Because The Linux Foundation certainly has assets that they could donate to other FOSS project
That is a good point
Why? The proof that linux exists under capitalism already proves your point does not hold
