If you don’t shop there to begin with, continuing to not shop there isn’t boycotting.
I had to buy a Clicker for college in a day when any number of phone apps, or even the Smart board, would have done exactly the same thing. I think it cost about $150 and the only thing it did – THE ONLY THING IT DID – was an expensive version of Kahoot. Abject waste of money for all parties involved.
I’ve never gotten Handbrake to do anything I wanted. DVD Shrink, on the other hand, is one of my top five most-used apps. It’s quite old, but DVD encryption hasn’t changed since its release.
It’s the level of commitment. You can start and stop online activities with almost no preparation or planning. When you watch a movie, you have to mentally prepare yourself to be in one spot and paying attention to one thing for an hour and a half. When you play video games, it takes effort to turn on the console or launch Steam / Epic / whatever.
For work, I use Chrome, but only because Firefox’s profile management is (more or less) nonexistent. Once they have that, which I understand isn’t too far out, I’m ditching Chrome entirely.
Why’s that?, if you don’t mind me asking. I have no skin in the game, just curious.
The Ultimate Collection of Winsock Software. Man, it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve heard that name.
I didn’t read this as OP wanting others to decide for them, but to help them think things through; maybe get a new perspective.
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted; not everyone is comfortable (technologically or morally) with pirating.
I feel like I don’t understand that last panel. Or maybe the one before it, either. Yabba dabba do not.
Yay! Making jokes about the name of a person who took a stand and put his money where his mouth is is fun!
Big-time disagree. Been using Windows and Mac versions of Office for over two decades. The Windows version is far superior in pretty much every metric I can think of.
When was it ever just one portal with everything available?
Why build one when you can build two for twice the price?
It’d have to be the construction of The Sphinx or the Giza pyramids for me.
The biggest risk is that it renders your pineal gland completely useless. (not the face, not the face, not the face)
I would read book reviews and critics’ opinions to shape my opinion of the book. I enjoyed many of the books I was assigned to read; others I had zero interest in.
I’d go with Possessor by Brandon Cronenberg. I’ve only seen it once so far, and the unfolding of the story was such that you had to work for it. It wasn’t impenetrably dense, but I definitely had to give it the attention it demanded.
Schitt’s Creek. Only watched it (the series) one other time. Big fan.
I’m going to put an lgbtq+ flag in my classroom next year. I don’t expect anything to come of it, but you never know.
