What would that be? Microsoft Edge is a Chromium browser, it can't do more with webpages than Chrome or any other of the bunch can.

Oh and Edge is available for Linux, so there's that. Not that I'd use it...

Yeah weird in that regard that a car wash can render it non-functional if you forget to put it into car wash mode

I initially thought it was a joke

I had a provider before that blocked tethering and hotspot, the solution there was also to increase TTL on the clients connecting to the phone by 1. The phone would lower it by 1 again, making it look like data originated from there.

uTorrent sold out, its decline is not only due to BitTorrent becoming less popular, but also because what was once a very thin client at one point was bundled with malware so a lot of people kept using old versions or switched to clients like qBitTorrent

While discord doesn't necessarily cost money, it for sure also isn't free. In fact it's the reddit problem but way worse. A proprietary non-searchable database with all content fully licensed to discord including the right to sub-license. At least, Reddit had an API and is still searchable through their public facing http. I mean I get people don't want their group messages readable by everyone, bit for large groups, it makes sense.

Disgusting.

I expected better from a gay furry porn aficionado

Also lizard loses to both rock and scissors, so it was completely unviable until the invention of paper, and it's only balanced when Spock is born.

Steam doesn't enforce DRM, your game can use Steamworks even without DRM.

The no-DRM policy sure is very good, but in the end any game on GoG is there by choice of the publisher, who could also choose not to use DRM on Steam.

Kind of my main gripe with YouTube repost bots here. In the end, you're using someone else's bandwidth and storage, you should respect their wishes. Alternatives like Peertube exist and should be used more instead of finding ways to make a website be less shitty.

Also looking into Owncast, platform effects are real but they're not gonna go away if people just keep using exactly these services.
