I was just regurgitating yours

The files are mostly released already. Nothing happened to anyone. They just don't care.

Poorer regions usually are more conservative too.

Which means that women are more likely to stay at home taking care of the kids. And if they do work, they do so part time. Which still leaves time to take care of the kids.

The regions with low birthrates usually have women working full time. And full time means 8h+.

I bet people would be having more kids if people that can work from home, worked from home. And if full time meant 6h instead of 8h+.

That way, instead of working husband + stay at home mom, we could have commuting parent and WFH parent.

With the added benefit of commuting parent having a shorter commute since there would be a lot less people commuting.

You don't have to stop playing games from these companies. You just have to stop paying for them.

Piracy is and has always been easy.

You're probably being down voted because uninformed people giving their "opinion" has been a huge issue for SKG. Since big companies have been fighting hard for people to think that SKG means that companies would need to pay for servers infinitely.

Just mentioning that as a possibility could be harmful as it plants the seed of thought of "SKG sounds good, but they could be scheming this evil shit in the shadows". Which is NOT the case, SKG has been very explicit in that they DON'T want companies to pay for maintenance for servers. They only want access to the server software in order for anyone to be able to run it.

The average consumer has pirated a videogame. It's not hard to do. We only not do it because steam is slightly easier, and you lose online/achievements, and because it's not morally right. However, that one last barrier has fallen.

If buying is not owning, using without paying is not stealing. There is no moral issue on pirating videogames, just do it.

(All of this only applies to big companies ofc)

Ackchually, the heat death of the universe means that nothing lasts forever. Therefore, boycotting asshole big game companies run by billionaires that oppose the stop killing games makes no sense!

Also, why do we punish murderers? Their victims would die anyway, it's a scientific fact.

You don't need to list every company.

You know which ones are the big ones. If you see a "6" next to a game title, don't pay for it. No indie game dev makes 5 sequels to a game.

It not happening to everyone doesn't mean that it's not an issue.

Years back there was an issue with a windows update that eliminated the "Documents" folder on some people. I updated my computer and the folder was still there. It didn't happen to me, but it did happen.

There are millions of possible computer configurations. Some issues may happen in some computers but won't happen in others.

Even if 2 people have the same computer, they might have followed a different path to reach the current version of windows. Some might've started at win 10 and upgraded from there, others might've installed the latest version of win11.

All those things might result in bugs happening in some devices but not on others.

Not only are you a Microsoft developer. Are you also a maths PhD? I thought I was using maths of a level I'm comfortable with. Mainly addition, abstraction, and multiplication if real numbers.

Perhaps I've committed a grave mistake. Please show me where my mistake is.

So a guy got imprisoned by the most brutal government in the world. And then he fell into vegetative state. But said government has nothing to do with the vegetative state?

Do people just do that? Do people just go "eh, I've had enough, maybe I'll just turn my brain off for a while".

You can guarantee it? Are you a Microsoft Windows developer? In that case, I'd like to fill in a bug report.

When I turn my machine on, without me doing anything at all, task manager would display >20GiB used. I don't have many applications to run at startup. At most iCUE (Corsair keyboard drivers). I don't think iCUE is using 20GiB if RAM.

Then, I open 2-3 vscode instances. Each instance launches its own rust-analyzer, since I'm looking at 3 rust projects simultaneously.

Each rust-analyzer instance uses ~3GiB of RAM.

That is enough to reach 100% ram usage and the computer becomes noticeably slower, even if CPU usage is at 7%.

Tell me, Microsoft Windows developer. Why does my machine grind to a halt when I use ~10GiB of RAM, if win11 says that the recommended amount is 16GiB and I have 32? 10+16 = 26. I should have a minimum of 6GiB left. The math ain't mathing.
