The thing with products like games, textbooks, movies etc is that a large part of the cost is the design. This means that while you can make the products cheap and still cover the cost of manufacturing, you won’t make back the money from the design if your margin is very low. This gives manufacturers the ability to sell the same product in differently wealthy markets while still making a profit.
If you now take the product from a cheaper market and sell it to more wealthy consumers at lower price than they usually pay, you aren’t actually selling at a better price because you are providing a better service. You are selling at a better price because you’re breaking the manufacturer’s business model.
This isn’t something that can permanently work because either A: the manufacturer doesn’t get enough money to cover the design, can lead to bankruptcy or change of business model ©, B: through regulations this is prohibited or C: The manufacturer raises the price in the regions your buying from, breaking your business model and screwing over the people who can no longer afford it there.
Of course this depends on the scale you’re acting in, but in theory preventing you from doing so would bring more equality between richer and poorer nations
Nintendo is selling them for cheaper in Southeast Asia because people there have less money. They could sell them for less in the US as well, but people are able to afford the prices there so capitalism dictates that the price is higher. What Amazon and the retailers are doing undercuts this strategy, which in theory means that Nintendo should raise their prices in Southeast Asia to make their business model work, making the games inaccessible to consumers living there. In classic liberalism this is the logical way things should be, in neoliberalism the state should intervene.
I have made good experiences with GPT4ALL
AFAIK per EU law the collected data has to stay in data centers in the EU, ChatGPT and Gemini at least pretend to conform while Deepseek explicitly states that the data is stored in Chinese data centers.
Is there any concern to be had with archive warrior regarding legality (like scraping piracy sites)?
Ich glaube das ist eher was dauerhaftes
Mit der SPD koaliert niemand, da sie ein rechtsextremer Verdachtsfall ist. Die MSP ist relativ nahe bei PKA/CSU, kann aber die Grünen nicht ausstehen
Muss man ja nicht wählen.
Ich traue es den Leuten zu, dass egal was man macht sich eine politische Mehrheit findet die scheiße ist
Ist auch weniger eine Partei im klassischen Sinne als das über sie gegenseitige Hilfe organisiert wird und sie Anarchismus in die Mitte der Gesellschaft bringt, da sie per dem GG ihre Ziele eh nicht über den parlamentarischen Weg erreichen kann. Also statt nicht zu wählen da man den Staat ablehnt wählt man PKA um im Parlament repräsentiert zu werden. Zum einen können so Parteien wie CMU oder LfD nicht der Öffentlichkeit vormachen Anarchismus=Chaos ohne das es wirkliche Gegenstimmen gibt. Die PKA versucht zudem die Wirtschaft zunehmend dezentral zu organisieren damit der Übergang zu einem Anarchismus nach ihren Vorstellungen vereinfacht wird (wie auch immer das erreicht wird)
I was talking about written reviews, not just a like/dislike (star) system
Where are you getting 0.1%? According to Steam Hardware Survey Linux is over 2% of Steam Users. This puts Linux way ahead of Mac which supported by Epic
Steam is, in my opinion, way better for the user (even if it may be worse for the developer).
Epic lacks features that are important to me like reviews, the ability to view your library in a browser, warnings about DRM, Linux support, a hole bunch of features to discover games, a workshop, big picture mode.
Additionally, in my experience at least, their official launcher under Windows is a buggy mess compared to steam.
Looking at the specs 3DS should be possible. Also you don’t have to play DS games, you could play most other games as well
Viele Browser bieten die Option die Inkognito Tabs Passwort zu schützen oder automatisch zu schließen wenn man Inkognito verlässt.
This is meant to make updates more stable. It should be toggleable in the settings and doesn’t not appear if you update via cli
You also have to consider air resistance, that should reduce the energy of the bowling ball when hitting you, making it easier to stop
I love you too
puts beans in your ear
What about biodegradable plastic?
