How does that work? The lab puts you in contact with people they know share your DNA?

I might do the same one day when I don’t want to tinker anymore

I use a fork called Bravenewpipe. It adds filters and Sponsorblock. It’s brilliant!

I thought I saw a misunderstanding to the comment you were responding to, that’s all

the most common complaint that dialogue is cringe is patently false

yeah, there are times when the dialogue is pretty cringey

same goes for the other response by Scrubbles

if I’m still not clear forget it, really it’s unimportant, I shouldn’t have commented

his payrise is equivalent to something like 3000 US workers minimum wage annual salaries

if my math is correct (which it probably isn’t)

google captcha that will 100% fail the first time no matter how careful I am, sorry I can’t do it anymore, especially if I don’t know what I’m opening

and hasn’t it be established bots can solve those now and it’s just about the money?

I loved xprivacy_lua

You could hide almost everything.
No app knew the other apps I used.
No app had clipboard access. when I needed to paste something I used Xposed Edge.
You could spoof a lot of info, GPS coordinates, IMEI … The list goes on.

support stopped. I should check if there’s a fork.

edit: AOSP permissions have improved and I now use almost exclusively FOSS apps, so I’m not worried, but I still miss the app.

It is indeed very rough for now, but good to see another app

Even if it gets better it would need a good multi language (multi-lingual?) support for me to switch, which the official app did a stellar job with.

what a monster of a patch!

I agree, you are “more owner” with a GOG game.

There are no products for which you get the IP because you bought one unit. Edit: IANAL, there might be.

Not a book, nor a car. So I don’t see how that’s relevant.

Sorry if I misunderstood your point.

I just received a Kagi invite from a friend.

It’s absolutely great

Let’s hope they don’t look too closely at how family plans are shared for now.
10€ + taxes a month is just too steep for me

You can resell, trade, give, lend a book you bought. You’re just not allowed to do the same with any copies you’ve made. At least where I live

Just to be clear: my main point was that you don’t own any more the game bought on GOG than on Steam.

And there are definitely upsides to this type of market.
Although nowadays I wouldn’t buy a just released triple A 70€ game knowing I can’t sell or give it (not that I play those much anymore). The games I actually want to keep a few and far between.
I buy second hand Switch games for my nephews. It’s cheap, I’m actually giving them something, and they can trade them with their friends or sell them to buy fortnite skins the little shits

Again, not hating on GOG, I’ve been a customer for a long time. Mainly because I don’t want any kind of launcher. I play 99% solo games, don’t need no updates or multiple clicks to launch a game.

We were talking about legal offers. Are you legally the owner of your game.

Of course you can share, reproduce, pirate … but that’s not the point here.

cool fresh shit

action paintings with blood and fresh excrement

Can you sell them? or trade, give, even lend them? My guess is you can’t. And when I was a kid I did all those things.

It’s not anedoctal IMO, but a change in paradigm. I’m not saying it’s all bad. I buy games on GOG. But I don’t own them really

A 2015 study in France showed 54% where more willing to buy a game when they knew they could sell them when done
