- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 2 days ago:
I’m drawing the line at paying for a thing that might be good or bad, mechanics like that are addictive especially to children
- Comment on EU lawmakers to study ban 'loot boxes' and other addictive features in video games 2 days ago:
Season passes and FOMO aren’t gambling, you get what you buy and although I don’t like them they are not the issue.
Lootbox systems are designed to be addictive as it’s paying money to recieve a prize with very bad odds. Glad my country banned them a while ago.
- Comment on Why do some Americans "feel ashamed" for being American even when it's not their fault? 4 weeks ago:
While agreeing for the most part, it’s painfully clear as someone in the EU how politics in the US empower far right rethorics everywhere else. While politicians in my country have condemned the actions of the US, the political landscape has shifted dramatically.
Everyone is pointing at the US because their politics trickles down into ours, not the other way around.

Come on, I love libre software as much as the next Lemming, but the Plex TV and mobile app is leagues ahead in terms of usability over jellyfin.

As a European, the book wasn’t in any of my curriculums. But I’m working my way through the classics. And as the other commenter said, your spoiler tag isn’t collapsible. No worries though, my fault for reading this thread.

I’m reading the book at the moment and shouldn’t even be in this thread but this was a spoiler for me!
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 2 months ago:
They’re doing the same thing Apple has been doing for years, I used to run a self-signing application which ran every week or so by itself.
Workarounds are going to exist plenty, it’s just a slap in the face. Especially because the Play Store is filled with malware. Apple’s strict rules are horrible for developers, but at least it’s not as riddled with malware.
