According to Apple, the small particles can damage the electronics. No further detail.

That's why it's called piracy, not theft.

Multiple ways.

Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

Of course good things can come from this, but I've read here several times that this just isn't a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

Statements like this are loosely playing with the term "vegan" I feel.

Lots of people follow a vegan diet, but aren't vegan in the strict sense.

You won't see those people in communities like these.

Or kill it completely. The only reason I've held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I'd rather not see that.

Apple themselves have said putting it in rice can actually damage the hardware. Don't do it.

And Final Fantasy III on the SNES

It's a web app wrapped in Tauri. So basically a desktop app, but the web app can be hosted too.

Greenland is not a country though, it's part of Denmark, although it has autonomy

You're using a purposely convoluted example from the spec. And I think it shows exactly how TOML is better than JSON for creating config files.

The TOML file is a lot easier to scan than the hopelessly messy json file. The mix of indentation and symbols used in JSON really does not do well in bigger configuration files.

That's not the point. We already know Musk is bad.

Not sure why the judge can't be bad too.

I guess saying "Elon bad" is enough to be a hero in Lemmy's eyes?

Another way that needs a credit card:

Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.

When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.

Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you're signed up, downloading is easy and it's the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.
