I... want to see that 9 kg necklace. I mean, sounds like it's just a big-ass chain, but if so, how did it not throw up red flags all around letting this guy wear it around that machine.

What does it mean?

It was the first Ghibli movie I saw! Got me started on a whole journey, still holds a special place in my heart.

Now my kid is finally old enough to not be scared, they loved it too!

Last year I saw the stageplay of it, also nice!

Jaywalking as a concept is so weird to me. Don't live in the US, that's probably why.

They do. They do not care. It's part of the problem.

No. Carbon offsetting is a scam and does not do shit for the environment.

Yes, you almost got it. Well done. I'll leave you with that.

No, the point is that just because you pirated it, it doesn't mean you would have paid for the content if there were no way to pirate it.

Hell no. Too much drama.

You basically wrote what I did, but from a different viewpoint.

Your example with the cinema is also a typical apple and oranges example comparing a digital distribution with a physical service. Yes, when you sneak into a cinema the cinema provider is losing revenue because you take a seat someone else might have paid for. So at some point the cinema is full and cannot accommodate any more people that paid which would prompt the provider to check tickets.

There is no such scenario for digital distribution. You are not taking anyone's space. The provider can sell their product infinitely often. You even already pay for the traffic you cause with your internet connection. It is a very different situation but is always equated because online piracy is of course the worst problem ever.

"The pay-TV provider suffered damage in the millions as a result," the ZCB announced without providing further details. The content providers speak of high revenue losses due to piracy on an "industrial scale".

Natürlich. Jeder hätte auf jeden Fall das legale Angebot abonniert, gäbe es da nicht diesen illegalen Service. Klar, macht Sinn. Gibt auf keinen Fall die Möglichkeit, dass die Leute dann einfach nichts abonnieren, natürlich nicht, nein.

Edit: sorry, didn't realise this might be an English community. Just wrote sarcastically that obviously everyone who subscribed to the illegal service will now certainly go for the legal alternative. Which is why it totally makes sense to mark these as lost revenue. Absolutely not possible that people might just no subscribe to the legal service, nope.

Short but cute game, was neat to see the video at the end showcasing the steps the developers went through to create it.

I've been thinking about organising my growing library a bit, mostly to mark games I consider as completed.

But also to mark games I played but lost interest in, or games I've finished together with my kids instead of myself alone.

I started doing that in Steam but as I added games via GOG or Epic Games store, or emulators, Steam and would lose their tags as soon as I uninstalled them.

Also if as a bonus the system could suggest new games based on what I finished or maybe based on ratings I give, that would be nice but not necessary.

Is there any straightforward solution to use? Either general something device-independent or specifically on the Steamdeck locally. Can also selfhost software if there is anything good.

How are you all doing that?
