Yes I do and yes one platform is in a monopolistic position and people keep defending them.

Unless you’re acting as a proxy for the owner, yes it does.

You can’t though (not by following the terms you agreed to) and Valve can ban you or remove your right to use the license you paid for whenever they want.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy

If you can’t dispose of it by selling it to someone else, your don’t own it. Notice how even DRM free games are just the purchase of a license and the distributor can revoke your right to use that license? Yeah, do you don’t own DRM free games either.

Oh so you can resell your used copy?

The difference being that I can resell a physical media, even at a profit if there’s enough demand for it, and to most people that’s the definition of ownership.

Gamers be like “We don’t mind not owning our games as long as we don’t own them through the monopoly that we like, ok?”

Just use the language that conveys your intention and people won’t argue with you.

Surface tablets are niche but SO much more useful than the app-restricted alternatives from samsung or apple. Nuke windows and stick your fav distro with a tablet frontend on there and it becomes an incredibly versatile little machine.

Reading comprehension, work on it.

The point from the get go was that Android tablets are too app restricted. Not about freedom to do what you want with the OS.

APP

RESTRICTION

And on that front, Linux doesn’t beat windows.

By nuking Windows you’re trading restrictions for other restrictions is my point, the suggestion of installing Linux doesn’t make sense if the point of not getting an Android tablet is to not be limited as Windows is the OS that’s compatible with the most programs.

Oh yeah, by “Nuke Windows”, clearly what you meant was “Dual boot”

“More useful than the app restricted…”

“Stick your fav distro on there”

Eeeeeh… So one is bad because you can’t install everything that’s available on Windows but on the other you should install an OS that doesn’t work with everything available on Windows either? Mickey Mouse logic right there!

No I’m not, right from the horse’s mouth

Look at other country data?

Again, as I already said, even if she came out and said it, the people it’s important for still won’t come out and vote.

My man, I’m in Canada, young people have options, a minority of them vote. In France they vote less than other groups and a minority votes during the legislatives. A minority in the UK as well. It’s also historically true looking back

If people reliably don’t vote even If it means things being worse for them and even if they have options then what do they expect politicians to do?

“I highly doubt it”, that’s the thing, I’ve researched what I’m saying, you haven’t

That’s how many levels with the color scheme where you pretty much can’t tell where the blocks are?

The problem is that the people who are single issue voters in this situation are in the age bracket that doesn’t vote no matter how much politicians cater to their wants and needs, and that’s proven by other countries as well (where there’s more parties to vote for).

As well, there’s a higher % of Israel supporters in the 65+ group (that votes) than Palestine supporters in the 18-35 group (that doesn’t vote), so let’s say Harris comes out and says “We’ll stop sending weapons to Israel”, she very well could be handing the keys to the White House to Trump, which will send even more weapons to them AND will stop helping Ukraine AND will directly and indirectly lead to thousands of deaths locally (migrants, LGBTQ+, minorities…)

It’s not popular with people who don’t like money
