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.

I think you forgot a question.

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.

Kia EV3. It’s generally nice and I don’t want a different one. But I’d prefer not to drive a car if that were practical for me right now.

Probably Middle Earth/The Lord of the Rings. (1937-2026)

I really liked how the 48fps version of the Hobbit looked (even though the movies themselves were mediocre).

Not regularly or often, but yes. It’s actually legal from the age of 14 here (under parental supervision and only lower-alcohol stuff like beer). So I’d have a bit here or there for special occasions like New Year’s Eve. From the age of 16 you’re allowed to drink unsupervised. At that point some of my classmates already got drunk regularly. I never liked alcohol (or rather its effects) that much though and to this day I’ve never been drunk. These days I might drink something like a glass of wine every few weeks or so.

There’s a Pokemon fan forum that I originally joined around 2004 I believe. They’ve had a relaunch since then, so my current account is “only” from 2009 though. I’m still ocassionally active on there, along with like 5 other users.

This. Also older people falling for that kind of stuff was pretty much expected, but that came with the hope that those ideas will soon die out along with them. So fascism finding significant support among younger people (even if it’s not even close to the majority) kind of killed that hope.
