Quite the opposite. The eu requires free movement of people and goods and services, so if a German was not allowed to buy, like a French, or Spanish person, that would be against eu rules. The explicitly cannot ban someone form outside their country who is an eu citizen.

Sure, you want to extend it globally, rather than just the eu, but the purpose was to restrict propert to locals. The logical policy if the eu did not exist would be to include the Germans etc you mentioned. The whole purpose of the eu is to increase, not decrease integration, with a view to preventing war by ensuring mutual prosperity.

Or keep them out.

No, I didn’t as it’s not really a post about that, but I think ubinis the way forward.

No, I’m not saying artist money is any more immoral than any other purchase. I’m also saying artists should not depend on donations only. I also did not say I exclusively pirate. Don’t put words in my mouth.

I’m saying the current system is broken. Replacing it with tips is not the solution. Transport and creative industries will see huge lay offs in the coming years. We need to decide as a society what we value. Is it creating art and pleasure or lines going up on company spreadsheets. Free spread of ideas and art is an ideology. The only reason not to allow it is to profit. Those profits don’t go to most artists.

No, but that’s the case with or without piracy. Artists and devs shouldn’t rely on goodwill. That’s just expanding the tips system which is already awful.

No, but saying to participate and that purchasing software is inherently moral is also fallacious.

Developers, musicians, creatives, actors etc all need to be paid to live in society. However, the current system rewards the lucky few and large corporations as well as the non creative side of media and software creation.

Until he benefits personally, then he’s soft. All China would need to do is promise to sell Trump goods or let him build a gaudy hotel.

Scientific papers

AI processing is a moneymaker for them. It runs on Linux, usually, so they want to ensure they are not leapfrogged. They are not supporting Linux, they are trying to make more money. However, it happens to benefits Linux.

I’ve had it for years through many phones,.so a modern cheap phone should run it fine. It’s colourful, trippy and addictive in small doses.

No, I got their point and I got your point before it. Only one of you was rude and trying to shut down discussion.

I actually agree with you about wisneberg as an actor but I think the other poster is right in that it was a mediocre movie.

So they shouldn’t disagree?

I think last time, the tariffs placed on USA were threatened by China against his voting base. Mainly agricultural states.

There are more people who only browse and use cross platform apps that don’t realise they could switch easily, than there are people for whom a switch would be problematic.

Windows has more supported software, but many people use a small range of common software. Gamers are just one niche. Just like you think Linux users are an echo chamber here, you are not considering the echo chamber of gamers you’re in that dont represent most windows users.

No, as we already have a market price for new games. We also have differing prices for differing versions already.

If you’re selling an older less popular or less critically acclaimed game for higher than what newer games with reasonable sales are selling at, then you’re clearly manipulating the market.

We don’t have to micromanage the market. We can set in place mechanisms to make sure it’s efficient and is a true market.

I’m sure we could legislate in such a way that says if it’s purposely priced artificially high to prevent sales, then the same IP abandonment applies.

I think you’re missing the point. You’re asking for due process rather than a redo. I’m pointing out that an election from 8 years ago with known interference faced no real consequences as once they are in power, the consequences go away.

Yes, it’s a worry. However, look at America where Russian election interference led to Trump. Then he did illegal things was impeached but is now reelected and faces no consequences as he was able to slow walk the courts.

Yes, I agree, but doing nothing is a problem too. I didn’t follow the court case, but I assume the fact that this came from the court means there was due process.

I think the problem is less that he has campaign finance issues, more that there is a foreign government purposely undermining free elections in another country.

True, but also allowing foreign interference in elections is also not confidence inspiring. Especially when it’s unnoticed and surreptitiously done.

Now people will get a closer look at him, he might get votes again, he might not. Either way, Russia won.
