Auch dann zählt das Rechtsfahrgebot.

It never left, it’s just not relevant for most people. But if you do need a powerful semi-portable workstation, briefcase computing is the way to go.

For ebooks in particular, owning what you buy isn’t that difficult though. You can legally buy DRM protected epubs in a lot of online book stores and then use the software calibre (open source) to strip the DRM. Much easier than with music, movies or software.

I‘d recommend the software calibre. Great for managing your ebook library and it can convert epub into amazons azw, mobi or kfx formats (depending on which generation kindle you have). With the right plugin you can even create WordWise data for your kindle-converted ebooks.

You don’t even necessarily need to illegally download the books, as calibre can also handle the DRM of .ebub books you bought from almost any store. Of course, sailing the seven seas is still always an option though.

Hm, maybe. Where I lived, your chances were low if you’re a nerd and/or looking for something serious. Like, most people on tinder were the exact same crowd you‘d also meet in clubs. But it also wasn’t a particularly big town and most people on tinder in my age range were university students from the less nerdy faculties…

I also always use the term a little tongue in cheek

A reasonable argument would be because oop sees sex as something special and would like a partner that thinks of it the same way.

In reality, oop probably thinks of woman who are on tinder as worthless sluts and doesn’t want a woman with a higher headcount than him because it bruises his ego.

Tinder is the worst possible way to get to meet people, unless you’re at least a 9/10 guy or a woman who just wants to hook up, nothing more. At least that’s been my experience, both using the app and talking to friends who have. Meaningful connections are rare.

The game’s not different. But the launcher is missing some features and also, it’s not just a launcher but a store and some percentage of the money you pay for the game goes to them. And if you don’t want to give Epic Games money (which would be fair, considering their relations with for example tencent), buying a game there is out of the question.

But if you don’t like the platform and don’t want to support it, what do you do then?

And a lot of people don’t like epic games for a number of reasons.

He is one of the largest tech reviewers on YouTube and you should care because his platform is big enough for him to be able to actually influence a lot of people and even companies.
