I’m not surprised. They’re more expensive and far more inconvenient than petrol or diesel cars.

When electric cars are cheaper than petrol cars and when I can fill one up in 2 minutes I’ll consider buying one and not before.

I’d like to change my answer.

I removed Windows 11 in favour of Bazzite. No dual-booting and no Windows.

I’m very impressed how well Windows games run on Linux, it’s like witchcraft. Plus pcsx2 seems to perform a good deal better once Windows is out of the picture.

This is good news. As part of my moving away from “big tech” I installed Bazzite on my ROG Ally on a small partition to try it out. I was so impressed I have now removed Windows 11 entirely.

This along with Mint on my main computer and ditching the iPhone 15 Pro Max and iPad Pro for Pixel phone and tablet with GrapheneOS it feels so freeing to be rid of “big tech.”

Likely depends on your VPN. I use Proton and it’s fine.

I keep getting errors on FreeTube on Linux.

Exploring isn’t an act of war. But repeatedly violating another species borders after being warned away is very much an act of war.

They were never mentioned again. They were swapped out for budget reasons as the VFX would have been very expensive.

It’s a shame they were never explored in Voyager.

Oh shit. Sorry for the spoiler.

The Dominion must have recognised that the attack wasn’t ordered by the Cardassian government or they wouldn’t have accepted them into the Dominion.

But again. If they had all stayed in the Alpha Quadrant as warned there wouldn’t have been as issue.

It applies to every non-Federation civilisation. Part of it does include not interfering with pre-warp planets but that’s just part of it.

Also they have no jurisdiction over Cardassians affairs.

But Prime Directive or not, the Federation started that war.

Lower Decks effectively rendered Discovery non-canon in its finale so now it takes place in an alternate universe.

I’m with you on streaming. I like to OWN things, and nothing beats a 4K Blu Ray for at home viewing.

The DOJ claimed that “copies of Spider-Man: No Way Home were downloaded tens of millions of times, with an estimated loss to the copyright owner of tens of millions of dollars.”

Nope, they didn’t lose anything close to that. Perhaps nothing at all.

The kind of people that torrent movies the vast majority of them never had any intention of paying for it, ever. A small minority may use torrents as a free trial of sorts, to see if the movie is worth them parting with their cash on a Blu Ray.

I do this with games. If a game is £60 or £70 and has no demo or trial available I will torrent it to see if I like it without having to worry about the two hour refund limit. If I do I buy it legally and play it. If not it gets deleted and I haven’t wasted £70 on a game I won’t play.

Studios always claim every download is a lost sale, which simply isn’t true.

I play everything natively on the Ally. I have a PS Portal if I want to stream games.

I picked Mint because it’s the most beginner friendly to someone who has never used Linux before.

The menu controls are a little weird and you very occasionally have to pull the keyboard but it runs at 1080p fully maxed out at about 115fps.

I’m currently working through Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005 I got from MyAbandonware.

I use Windows 11 for my Ally but on my other machines I am transitioning to Linux Mint. I’ll keep Windows 11 on my Ally for the compatibility with games and most importantly for me, emulators.

Keep proving my point for me. We disagree. Let it go. You don’t have to hammer your point home to those that disagree.

Oh and by the way. In absolutely no way did I even mention black people. I’m not sure why you’re bringing race into the conversation but it’s disgraceful and you should be ashamed.

As I don’t wish to be preached too and as you simply can’t accept differing opinions I’m blocking you now and may also report your racism.

I must thank you for proving my point.

We’ve both made our arguments, I’ve said everyone is free to believe whatever they wish and it’s obvious we will never agree. But you simply can’t accept that people disagree with gender ideology and must try and push your beliefs onto others, in this case, me.

So to finalise this conversation.

I am of the opinion that there are two genders. You are of the opinion that there are more.

We are both entitled to our respective opinions whether you agree with them or not.

I wonder how big the Brazilian market is for Apple? They could just pull out entirely rather than comply.
