In what capacity is it anymore disrespect than doing literally anything else?

That’s not even strange, the spoon is just the perfect utensil.

You don’t think it’d still be the same even with the headphone jack still there? Wireless headphones and converters for wired headphones do exist, they just don’t care.

And they’ll keep being the de-facto option if you just keep accepting that they are. In the end, Adobe software and their alternatives are often similar enough that transitioning from one to the other isn’t difficult.

Or better yet, just don’t use Adobe products. Staying in their ecosystem is how they end up getting money anyways if that’s what you know how to use.

It really makes their tests for the higher bit rate “1080p Premium” quality just seem like reducing the current 1080p and locking out the one we already had.

On the other hand though, it’s Valve so they won’t get to 3.

Thirdly, if they were to visit Earth, do you really think that given the difficulty of traversing space, that you’d be able to identify signs of their arrival?

And then getting caught by said worms and being cocooned as you desperately try to break free.

I don’t think they’ll resort to that because that would mean getting rid of their own source of income. YouTube may not be getting ad revenue, but they still collect data and that’s where the real value is.

Something that people miss though is that they do hit some roadblocks that if not for some extremely lucky coincidences, they wouldn’t have any way to do it. Specifically for various materials that just so happen to be around them.

It’s an arms race. They block adblockers, adblockers block the anti-adblocks. It breaks for maybe like a few hours before it’s circumvented.

What’s the point of rehabilitation if you just arbitrarily decide that people aren’t worth it?

I’m fairly certain it’s been the same number of hoops to get there. Same with actually trying to buy it specifically.

But yeah, its so sequestered away that honestly, I’d probably just outright pirate it if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s readily available on release and I’m familiar with the methodology of it.

I believe it’s just a depiction of it. Looking around some other similar pictures, there were some images where it showed all “space debris” larger than 1cm as like a white dot. So, it’s not quite the level of fields of metal floating around out there.

Amazon’s Music service, while it takes some hoops to jump through, actually does let you download music. Though I don’t know if that’s a general policy or on a per music/per artist basis.

That’s seldom the case on sites like PornHub these days.

Governments can barely figure that out,

Governments aren’t exactly known for efficiency. A corporation is less likely to bogged down by just the mere fallacy that “other entities can’t figure it out, why should they do it?”

It can be, yeah. Sound can be damaging, sometimes irreversibly for people.

I’m just gonna take a different approach here. That’s not a definition. That’s just a statement. You actually have to give a description of the criteria for what constitutes as “Assault” to make a definition. Why isn’t it assault?
