i refuse to pirate indie games. i will always buy games that are independently released or from small publishers because 1. they're just trying to break even (unlike publishers like EA and Activision who have millions of fans lining up to buy their repetitive junk) and 2. they almost never have DRM. i'll also buy my music for similar reasons; 99% of artists can barely make a living and i really do not want to contribute to that statistic
money isn't a birthright, but food, water, shelter, clothes, and healthcare are. if we can't be given those, we should at least be given the money to get them
oddly specific objection aside, where podcasting really shines is fiction. it's the modern version of the radio drama. fiction podcasts like Welcome to Night Vale and Find Us Alive have narratives that are tailor-made for episodic audio and would not work in any other medium. a good fiction podcast is truly wonderful to listen to
one Discord server i was on had a Minecraft server with a specific mod installed that allowed cracked copies to join, and it allowed people to lock names in with a PIN so people couldn't impersonate each other. i can't remember which mod it was though

doesn't the Bible specifically warn about people like Trump?
For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.
— 2 Timothy 3:2–5, English Standard Version
why is this an L? Linux is fully capable of 4k playback. any Linux user (with a 4k screen) can go to YouTube and watch a 4k video in full quality. Linux support is there, the bandwidth is probably there, the hardware power is there (Asahi Linux is for Apple hardware), so the problem is either Netflix or DRM in general
genocide and ethnic cleansing were inevitable from the moment Israel was formed. ethnic cleansing is the inevitable result of an ethnostate, and Israel was formed to be a Jewish ethnostate. an ethnostate is an ethnostate, regardless of which ethnicity it's for
I can sort of see the appeal if it were able to plug into your smart home or something so it could respond to queries like "where's the dog", but as a general knowledge assistant it's worse than useless (unless it magically doesn't confabulate anything anymore)
