So that’s why the keyboards are waterproof too?!

In my opinion you have to be used to meat to enjoy it. Cheese too to an extent (excites some of the same neuro receptors as opiates…). I don’t think tofu is an acquired taste though, it’s very bland and neutral and you can make it taste however you like.

Cooked pressed cheeses like Sbrinz or Parmesan have no lactose. It’s livable to only go for those except on a few occasions with the help of lactase pills.

Missed opportunity to recreate the Nintendo DS layout but bigger and absurd.

They always refused to reimburse the cost of Windows licences before this even if it was illegal in the country you lived in. I’m very surprised.

Generic methylphenidate is less than 20€ a month in France counting pharmacist’s commission for handing over the box and the manufacturer’s profit. Americans are getting scammed. (Oh and most French people would pay at most 2€ for this since the national insurance scheme covers it)

I’ve never said Spotify is any good.

The carefully curated library on the tracker is a lot of effort that can be destroyed very quickly as evidenced by the fact it has happened before, yet people still use private trackers.

AKA a single point of failure

Classics you don’t even need to pirate there are projects trying to make whatever is public domain available with good formatting like Standard Ebooks.

Top sci-fi maybe try searching prize winners or literary critics as terms, some people have made compilations, otherwise you can make your own compilations and create torrents.

Usenet has many things wrong with it, NNTP is not at all designed for distributing large files, it’s for propagating messages across servers. File integrity checks have to be tacked on for instance, and the few servers still serving binaries are commercial services that are vulnerable to copyright trolls.

Charges don’t stack in France. CNIL is gutless and useless. The worst that could happen to them is a small fine.

They’re not fucked, GDPR is all nice and dandy until it comes to States oppressing people, France has been steadily building DNA files of undesirables and foreigners and they can. ARCOM (formerly HADOPI) harvests insane amounts of personal data but it’s all been made legal because it’s against piracy and piracy is evil so it’s fine. Enforcement of GDPR violations in France is a bad joke, CNIL won’t do shit. They actively conspire with advertisers to make it easier for them to data mine legally, they only fine an infinitesimal fraction of violations, and they’re extremely slow and useless.

Their official excuse is a lack of budget but when the number* of fines you levy is a few dozens even when you get hundreds of complaints about extremely basic stuff like not complying with deletion requests and websites calling Google and other US companies without needing to, the excuse wears pretty thin pretty quickly, there’s ample and very clear precedent, they just don’t care.

France has extremely powerful copyright trolls, restrictive laws, and a culture of oppression by bureaucrats. There’s even a tax on storage mediums that goes to the MAFIAA. what.cd got nuked, RealDebrid got threatened hard enough that they gave in. I wouldn’t spend any money on anything illegal hosted in France.

Current consoles use x86_64 and Vulkan/DirectX don’t they?

The Switch is ARM so not terribly exotic.

Lossy to lossless is fine it’s just a waste of space.

Orgzly does reminders, I don’t abuse it and it works great.

If this holds up in court and becomes precedent it will create a lot of people with nothing left to lose with a lot of grudges against these companies. I can’t say I would have any sympathy if executives became targets for heinous acts of violence stemming from such an injustice.

You can ban yourself from gambling preemptively.

It still works, it can mean: sorry but how do I exist if it isn’t a rulebook?
