They won't stop piracy ever but they can also make it as inconvenient as possible. You treat it like a game of cat and mouse while 90% of society uses adblock because someone told them how to do that.

You're getting angry at a company and capitalism in general. Big techs should be broken up and regulated up to their tits. In the current legal framework they don't owe you anything and are well within their rights to put up a fight though. They won't do anything out of good of their hearts because companies don't have one.

I've read a book like that although there were no granades and it took place in middle ages. It sucked badly. I don't think it's likely for writer to tackle this without being a far right nutjob.

Nobody here wants peertube really.

They want free bandwidth (streaming 4k60), free computation (encoding, optimization), free research (codec development) and free storage (for endless amount of videos). Google sucking is a valid reason to piggyback on Google infrastructure but they seem to feel entitled to Google just letting it happen.

I have only smoked regular cigarettes (quit 5 years ago after 10 year long addiction). Not sure why you assumed I use ecigs. I can only say tribalism is a cancer upon internet discourse.

Yeah, they're essentially doing trials where Arizona fab provides small amounts of sillicon that's being validated against what Taiwan fab does. While it was planned for 2024 I'm guessing everyone thought it would be delayed. It's quite a big win for US, they're on track to secure domestic supply of fairly modern chips in case shit hits the fan in Taiwan.

How do you stand image scaling on 3DS? It's either poststamp sized or horribly mangled by non-integer scaling on a very low res display. It's the reason I keep DSi along NN3DS.

I too would like to see cars banned but it's just not practical yet.

There are obvious health benefits from making smoking as annoying as possible for smokers which will lead to long term medical cost decrease. Secondary smoke from ecigs outdoors is still neglible compared to cars, farts and people in general.

I find lots of things annoying outdoors but I guess it's not so common here to become an issue. Ecigs users are usually conscious enough to keep distance from other people. I hear it's getting pretty bad with disposable vapes but haven't seen much of that myself, likely a perk of not living in a big city.

Cigarettes, sure, but including ecigs sounds unreasonable? I quit smoking couple of years ago and regular cigarette smell makes me gag but Iqos and liquid vapes are not that offensive outdoors.

Scandalous attack on free speech
