Lol ok.

This is getting to Y2K hype levels, and in a similar fashion, will not do anything.

I get Linux people like to fanboy/shit over Windows but surely you’re tech literate enough to realize this is making a mountain from a molehill.

OP doesn’t understand the difference between piracy and drm-free.

But hey, looks like the advertising is working on you to promote GOG so good on them for a successful tweet.

If you have any basic computer skills it’s really not an issue. You can turn off pretty much anything. I can’t remember the last time I saw an ad within Windows tbh.

This is just fearmongering at its worst. It’s like me saying Linux is only for IT companies running servers because it’s unusable for a normal person as the UI is janky and it’s all code based.

I’m in the same boat as you. It’s a waste of time for me, but others seem to need it.

It’s worth noting I have autism though. So social interactions don’t do much for me.

Yeah, there’s some heavy hopium in this discussion. “What if Linux has exponential growth forever, 40% every quarter?” type garbage.

The AI actually handled that pretty well.

I’d say it’s much more reasonable than the person messaging it in this situation who comes off a bit unhinged.

Yep… Turns the post from somewhat interesting/meaningful to preachy and judgemental.

You were probably using the wrong version of utorrent.

I think you need something like 1.6. No adware, no malware, just works fast and easy.

Don’t let your bias against Meta overcome critical thinking skills.

As others have mentioned this is just incorrect. I’m no fan of Meta but you are a moron if you think this is happening.

I disagree. You don’t seem to understand piracy at all.

If you’re going to pirate games, you’ll find a way. I have spent hours sometimes figuring out how to do so, and it’s almost part of the fun.

The only reason I’d look at buying a Steam deck in future is to play pirated games. If I absolutely love a game and developer then sure, I’d buy it if I have the cash but otherwise you may as well pirate it.

The only reason I don’t pirate games IS because of locked down hardware like Playstation Etc. Otherwise, I have pretty much never bought a game on PC.

? What? This makes complete sense…

E. G.: “You are just using Windows” “You are just using Proton Mail” “You are just using xyz”

Lol who the fuck uses the promotions tab?

You are just using Gmail poorly.

Like going to a shopping centre and complaining the stores have ads in front of their stores. There’s legitimate concerns about Google and then there’s just dumb users.

Good on Facebook! Right? That’s what you’re saying no?

You do realize that up until a few decades ago in most counties (and even today in some western countries) homosexuality was seen as immoral and illegal?

So yes, it's very comparable in that it's highly socially and culturally defined.

You are incorrect sorry.

While we are on Lemmy, this Reddit AskHistorians post explains how common it was in Ancient Rome. AskHistorians is highly regarded as a good source of information. https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/feeuye/how_was_pedophilia_considered_in_the_roman_empire/

This is the most accurate answer, and the fact it's all cultural/social is quite important as well.

If you were born a few thousand years ago it may be completely reasonable to sleep with a kid. Hell the kid is probably your slave so you could literally do whatever you want with them.

But just as I don't understand certain fetishes or even just people attracted to the same sex, others won't understand why people would be attracted to kids.
