Honestly, the new licensing model for Oracle JDK was known for so, so long, and every company had every chance to use an open alternative. Actually I think Oracle has been pretty lenient with it's grace period, so I don't feel sorry for the companies held accountable over this

Do some druuuugs

Edit: Nah, jk. I do play too much Deep Rock Galactic tho, which might as well be a drug

This is awesome, of course it's xkdc. Thanks, now I can rest easy

Now I wonder how much bandwith do post offices have theoretically

They do be saying that life imitates art

You're criticising the OP for low effort, but also the community for high interest. What are you trying to say really?

Why entertainment is a luxury, knowledge and education is basically what human civilization is built upon and should be free. Of course the reality is that people need money in the current system we live in and we have to reward those somehow who dedicates their time and efforts to education.

So I've arrived to a conundrum... Because I think morally it's more acceptable to pirate educational content (imho), but I'm also more likely to pay the educators, as it is a very important job. Of course this does not apply to when someone just gatekeeps knowledge because of greed, it's very similar to charity fraud in my book

It is always left out from the Lemmy app party :(

Jonathan Blow said he might try his hand at creating an operating system (maybe after finishing his programming language Jai, and his gargantuan Sokoban game :)) Sadly it's unrealistic another operating system will be created for the general public without massive funds.

Such hateful ideas are a symptom which can have wast variety of root cause. Your example is quite extreme and I agree it rightfully warrants hatred, but I'd argue that it's all the more reason to not dismiss a person. We should seek connection with and understand these people and prevent destructive ideas from spreading IMHO, because there will be others who also won't dismiss the person - only difference is that they might be receptive for hateful ideas. Sorry if I came across supporting these ideas, this is not the case.

Interesting find. I guess the target audience are VR arcades/rentals. Considering they probably return the investment in a couple dozen sessions it's reasonable price (for a business).

I'm personally not going to hate on or dismiss a person based on political opinions or ideologies

It's a company. They realized they make platforms even better than games and capitalized on that. I see no issue with that. Moreover, they were working on Source 2, HL: Alyx and Counter Strike 2 recently, which I would say is immense work for a company, even more so considering their very humble employee count (compared to direct competitors, e.g. Epic)

Yeah, you're going to lose some wow factor when you realize a trick or game mechanic required for the puzzles, but I think it's still worth it (if you love puzzles anyway)

Thanks for the recommendation for Taiji, it really is very similar, looks like something I'd love to play :) I put it on my wishlist!

The Witness also falls into this category I think. I love these games as well

Tfw you're never gonna play Rainbow Seven 😭

Yaaaaaas! I'm really happy for this. void Bastards was great, however I'd have loved if it had more content, longevity and replayibility. But it was a wery solid game with oozing personality.

I hope we get the same quality and style, but maybe with a little more content this time!

So in this scenario my closest would be the gay tiger from my inner circle?

You pay for it, sure, but I'm not sure you "purchase" a rental car. Imho there sould be a legistlation that says you can't use wording like "buy" or "purchase" for digital media that you don't own. Like "buy license" or "start rental"... IDK

This... Also, what a loaded and opinionated question. It implies that you shouldn't be on X because of Elon Musk, if OP was genuinely curious about why someone uses X, they could have asked a neutral question: "Are you using X? Why or why not?" or "If you are using X, why and how?". This currently just reflects the OP's opinion for validation I guess?
