It’s really not. YouTube doesn’t get to decide what I play on my browser, I do

Could use the same argument for most games, streaming services, movies that you bought etc. Games that require you run Denuvo or Steamworks to function, streaming sites that require you run that particular browser or app with that particular DRM software, Blu-ray discs that require HDCP to work etc.

You can avoid these companies dictating what you run on your computer by doing one thing...

And then put twice the amount because it's only half as salty. Still dumb imo.

It's only good if you are deficient in potassium though, which I believe a lot of people are (although I don't know how easily our body can get potassium from KCl)

Afaik most laptops with Qualcomm X chips seem to be even more efficient than Apple's Macbooks, at least when running native code. The biggest problem they are having is platform maturity, Microsoft has spent the last decade doing all the wrong decisions, and now they are waiting for software developers to port their code to ARM, while Apple has had a 4-year head start.

The chips are not bad though. As for competing, there's really no competition as Apple uses their chips exclusively on their laptops, so there's literally no room for any competition.

Italian cuisine is mid anyway someone should teach them about these crazy things called spices.

What's your favorite cuisine and where are you eating it?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

Def not Italian. Never heard of it. The traditional Tuscan chicken recipe is "pollo alla cacciatora" and has nothing to do with this

I mean, sure, but how many petrol car startups are there?

Regardless, I agree that this in reality is a much wider issue regarding service and parts availability for products you buy. We need laws to regulate the availability of services integral to the products sold

I see China starting to prosper as soon as they dropped the Communist economic model and opened up to capitalism, private ownership and free trade. I see Vietnam starting to do the same.

I see NK, a more developed nation than SK right after the war, very close to their communist allies and having the second biggest economy as trade partner and neighbor (USSR first, China now) now being irrelevant economically while you can't even enter or exit the country freely. In the meanwhile SK managed to become a global power. Btw, what's up with communist countries and not letting anyone enter or exit the country freely?

I see Vietnam, a popular retirement destination for American 'expats'.

Pretty sure this has nothing to do with communism. Happens also in Indonesia or Thailand and has all to do with them being poor as fuck and the huge human trafficking business happening in those countries. And those "expats" are the worst of the worst scum on earth, trust me

Why even bother fining VW for Dieselgate when Tesla is a thing

What does that even mean????

I really hope some massive EV startup goes under and bricks thousands of cars. It might be the last straw that forces lawmakers to regulate services shutting down (keep providing the service or open source all your code so that some else can keep providing that service)
