You speak of copyright infringement. Some people call it IP theft but in reality it has nothing to do with stealing in the traditional sense of the word (such as stealing a bicycle). You can’t actually steal something that’s still there after you “take it.”

I was thinking more of uninstalling this 81 GB/hour game and enrolling in flight school (if you have data cap overage fees). But I like the way you think!

If you have small data caps, it may even be cheaper.

@smeg@feddit.uk showed me where I was confused. I thought YOU were calling this a moral issue; I just understood your comment wrong.

I am well aware of how Nintendo treats emulator devs, game modders, organizations that make better games in the same genre, and full blown ROM distribution websites exactly the same even though only one of these groups of people are breaking any laws.

Thank you for clearing up my confusion. I felt I missed something. (Also, I didn’t post that, I was just confused by the one who replied to it.)

What did I get flipped?

No, if more than two people are mad at something, it’s because of the hive mind or Russian trolls.

The wider Youtube community is pretty upset Nintendo is trying to get rid of Palworld.

Why wouldn’t torrenting the source code of proprietary software would be a legal issue? I don’t care of you do it but I’m curious why you only think it’s a moral issue.

I own Temtem. I also love Dragon Quest and its side games. Pokemon was very inspired by those games.

We’re saltly because all of these rich people truly got to skirt copyright laws while regular people got in trouble for “digesting the same digital bits.” They even get to resell any work that has been processed and mixed with other works as long as it comes from their AI…

If Temtem is a Pokemon ripoff then Pokemon is a Dragon Quest V ripoff. All these games involve collecting monsters through battle. Can anyone really patent “monster catching RPG?”

I vote for Green Gecko Swag OS. 🙃

In all seriousness, OpenSuse needs a rebranding, it already has all what is needed to be popular. They have great community support and multiple distros that are source based ultimately on Tumbleweed, which has really good QA; especially for a rolling distribution. Suse overall is a “weird” name as it’s not obvious how to pronounce it (Sue-sa, similar to salsa).

Mine used to work somewhat. Then I got fed up with the errors when unlocking and deleted my finger prints. Now, I get bit with that known bug on Pixel 6 that won’t let you register fingerprints (I tried again when I replaced the screen protector - even with no protector). I gave up on that fingerprint reader and 5G on this phone. It still works overall so I refuse to replace it for another year or two.

There is a pro side to everything. The 695 will have longer support in the aftermarket/ROM community since it essentially got a rebranding into a “new” product. That $300 Oneplus N30 is looking good right now.

Thank you for the correction. I totally did not notice that.

Tumbleweed is rock solid. I took out an old Intel based Macbook that has not been updated in two years (I stopped traveling for work and no longer needed a laptop so the software got outdated). OpenSuse Tumbleweed updated flawlessly. It switched to the newest gcc, switched over to pipewire, etc. without a single issue. I did not read the latest news as I used to do on Arch.

Also, OpenSuse is a family of distros. Choose what works for you. Tumbleweed is the main product and the base of all Suse offerings (and I recommend it).

• Tumbleweed rolls similarly to Arch but has more QA testing
• Slowroll is just snapshots of Tumbleweed that are updated less frequently. May replace Leap.
• Leap does traditional releases similar to other OSes such as Mac, Windows, and Ubuntu
• MicroOS (and its flavors) update the same way Android does; as a full image. You could pick a MicroOS flavor such as Aeon (Gnome) or Kalpa (KDE) and stick to Flatpaks which as a strategy works great on the Steamdeck but I have yet to try it on desktop.

As someone who has tried several Linux distributions what was important to me was how stable updates were. On that old Macbook, that I used for ten years; I mostly used Chakra, Arch, and Tumbleweed. That Tumbleweed install was at least six years old.

I did have one issue, but it was a kernel introduced bug. Long since fixed. Someone messed up Apple EFI boot; so I had to load the EFI menu when booting and then select my internal SSD to start the OS.

If you need snapd, install it. It’s not like I now consider you a degenerate for using snaps. It’s just a packaging format. I just understand why only Canonical enables it by default. If anything its annoying there is a handful of apps that provide snaps but not flatpaks.

Outside of certbot, I cannot think of anything that requires snapd over flatpak. I think certbot also has a PIP installation method anyways. I think it makes sense for everyone but Canonical to simply disable it or remove it by default. It’s not personal, flatpak won the format war outside a few niche programs.
