I know that those exist. So enlighten me, how do I download them without the launcher?

Steam allows DRM and even offers its own. You also can’t download anything without the launcher, even if the game is DRM-free.

Technically no, it still grants you a license like any other store. In practice it’s a bit closer to ownership than what you get with other stores, as GOG does not have the ability to take your games away once you have downloaded them and you can do whatever you want with the files. But you’re not legally allowed to sell your copy for example.

I think so too. We don’t really have conclusive studies yet on what microplastics do to our health, but we do know we have quite a lot of them inside our bodies. At the same time certain types of cancers are getting ever more common, and amongst younger people as well. Might not be connected, but I certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

You can pay for some things using crypto. For example, VPNs often offer that as a somewhat anonymous payment method. I’m pretty sure 99.9% of transactions are for trading and crime/scams though. The original idea of a decentralized payment system has pretty much faded into the background.

You can check here for lemmy.world, or other instances by using the same syntax.

Calling for OP’s death over that fantasy is way more shitty though. And the moderators left that up.

Crime Scene Cleaner (Der Tatortreiniger) is pretty great.

Earmuffs like these maybe? For people with autism who are sensitive to noise.

Applying that logic, it seems to me like you can’t ever use money for anything. What if that open-source project you donated to goes paid? What if the friendly corner store owner turns his store into a billion dollar chain?

The Japanese got it right: Just number them. First month, second month etc.

A few channels I like that I think should fit. AFAIK none of them use AI whatsoever.

In the short term, we should probably focus on fixing our problems on earth. Some space research should still be funded, but not as a major priority. Once we finally have our shit together, we can start exploring the stars.

Why would someone “less smart” not deserve success?
