Your phone was made in China. Most of the components were manufactured in Taiwan. Same goes for every chip in your car, and very likely for your Japanese microwave too.
None of those chips for your computer, your phone, or your car were made in the US, and thanks to Lil Donnie’s tantrum against the CHIPS act, none of them ever will be.
Yes, all these companies are using the same breakthrough in memory manufacturing to build similar products out of the same base memory modules. And none of the memory modules they’re using were made in the US (ooh scaaary).
I know reading is really hard for you, but if you do, you’d learn that this is just another company doing the same thing that the big names like Samsung and Sandisk have already done.
No shit. I used to use Gnome too and that example is one of many reasons I moved to Plasma.
I keep running into the same exact thing.
True, but you can go first person for ADS.
Helldivers 2 is fantastic fun and I still play it weekly, even though I’m max level with everything unlocked.
Well, he was asked the question in an AMA, but yeah it’s not news.
This is the shitty gatekeeping attitude that supports the stereetype you have you be a neckbearded techie living in your mom’s basement to use Linux.
IANAL, I just read legal blogs from time to time, so take this as the simplest of bumbling blanket explanations. Without details of the case it’s hard to say. IP law gets insanely complex. It’s also very likely that this animator was told the case was not actionable by an attorney some years ago, but then talked to a someone else with a different legal opinion more recently. Then there’s the cost of litigation, which will be extreme given this is Disney, so it probably took time to get the money together for a retainer, and financial risk of a loss and counter-suit makes it risky.
Sorry, I should have specified good attorneys, not assclowns who are working double time to get disbarred and censured. 🤣
Attorneys don’t just file a suit because their client said so: they generally need to be shown there’s an actionable case with a chance if winning, and in this case it probably took a lot of time and information gathering to get to that point. Also, it’s Disney, which probably makes most attorneys extra cautious.
I couldn’t make it through the first 5 minutes of the remake of The Crow. Absolutely awful.
Wonderwoman 1984 was also pretty cringe and I didn’t make it more than 10 minutes.
That’s a good strategy to ensure you die: a mooses torso is already higher than the hood of a lot of SUVs, so you’re taking a moose to the face.
Trader Joe’s changed their stance during the pandemic and are aggressively fighting unionization. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trader-joes-attorney-nlrb-unconstitutional_n_65b41e7ae4b014b873b11cc2 https://inthesetimes.com/article/trader-joes-union-organizing-fight
Soon, GOG and all other storefronts will state that you’re purchasing a temporary digital license for any game who’s publisher uses an EULA that states you don’t own the game. This is due to the recently signed California law that forces storefronts to be transparent about the publishers EULA.

This is in response to the new California law that forces stores to clearly disclose that the customer is buying a temporary license.
I think the long-term sales of the games you just cited is at odds with your opinions. At this point, Bethesda has made a name for themselves with janky, bug-riddled games with big story, that excel at giving the players a feeling agency. At this point that is Bethesda’s brand image and they seem to be just going with it. Like why would they bother spending more money to fix bugs and exploits that have become a signature to a lot of people? Also it’s costs them less to leave their titles unpolished and let the modders fix it.
Yes, they are different countries, and they will continue to be the countries that make the tech products you buy at an inflated, tariffed rate.
