elucubra

I have the same questions about Stremio.

Because I use a paid graphics suite for profit (Affinity, great and pretty decent payment model), and I'm OK-ish with paying (a fair price) for stuff that allows me to make money, but I'd rather live in Linux for most everything else.

I currently use Affinity mostly in a VM, and dual boot for some very specific things, but this seems to be a way to make the experience better.

Also, a lot of people have paid for a license when buying their computer. I'm OK with people sidestepping the strict licensing terms if they have paid for it.

It's not "you have pirated it", but "you aren't using it exactly as we want you to"

I'm willing to sacrifice some of my valuable internet points here and be down voted to low hell.

I was going to make a comment along those lines.

They are, at the core, an ad company. Their motivation is to make money, and we are free to pay or not pay for their services.

The idea that we have a right to a non essential product for free is entitlement. They make a shit load of money, but also pay money to most content creators. Could they provide a service where they essentially just pay for costs? Sure, but no for profit Corp is going to do that, it has to make money somehow. While I'm all for peer tube, I really don't know if it's sustainable.

I wonder how many of the people who demand free access to services donate to FOSS Development.

Maybe some form of consumer co-op, where users essentially pay for operating costs, could be an option.

How is the user experience with Linux?

I'm a Linux /Android/occasional Windows user who after 4 generations of Android tablets, finally gave up and got an iPad (first and only Apple device in decades), because it's leagues ahead in user experience.

Their arguments are kind of lame. To install APKs from outside the store is already an involved process that generally makes it harder for the uninformed to sideload. Make sideloading a bit harder, but possible. My xiaomi makes me wait and read warnings before installing APKs, for example.

Visibility of Targets. Werner Adrian. A classic and a reference on the subject.

Oh, BTW, you are using the concept of UX incorrectly. Not all system -> human interfaces are UX. I'm not completely ignorant on the subject. Several years teaching programming at the university level + many more developing for the private sector does give me a certain base to talk about the subject.

Well, that's a relief!

When a reply goes ad hominem, or insulting, it could be viewed as violence and it does disqualify the poster. Graham's Hierarchy of disagreements is pretty interesting.

I'm replying to many posts. The aggressive ones pretty much disqualify themselves. "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent" is very applicable here. People don't seem to read.

What is non-standard here? Homophobia has been a constant through much of history. It's beyond disgusting and horrifying, but it's been there for ages.

If you read my post you may notice that I'm not against memorializing, or pro-police or town hall, and that I favor these actions, but where they are not a safety concern. Oh, and this isn't about my mother, but about the millions of drivers who may not have 100% vision, which is most of us.

Have you ever asked yourself why the vast majority of road markings worldwide are white on black, or yellow on black? Fancy? Fashion? whim?

Also, I 'd like to invite you to google "high contrast safety"

The possibility that a random person would go to the lengths of adding micro-beads, or go to the trouble of procuring reflective pavement paint of the colors used seems a bit far-fetched to me. Could be, but unlikely in my view.

Don't bother, this place is becoming Reddit 2.0
