Decades is far from infinite
Decades is far from infinite
Idk about infinite, if they stop getting updates they will eventually get phased out and if you can’t download the application it’s also dead. All that aside the sun is going to go super nova eventually.
Also a lot of people don’t want to self host. I doubt you self host your own Lemmy instance for instance.
Sues corning for making all that glass that transmitted the piracy.
Some of the most unruly people I’ve ever known are women. I think women just emphasize better and with media from a connection to those who are in or made the media.
This initialization took me way too long
Even renters have rights. If you’re buying something like this you likely have no rights in the matter and the license you agreed to made sure of it.
I agree but they are not technically market monopolies.
This isn’t how market competition is done though. Otherwise every product you listed is a monopoly.
Are you’re saying competition doesn’t exist because products aren’t the same?
I’m trying to not disparage your argument here but if I go with your reasoning then I feel like there is no competition so that you can justify prices not going down. Where I believe competition simply doesn’t lower prices because capitalism desires more profit not less profit. Why fight over scraps when you can create a market by manipulating people into thinking: Green chat bubble mean poor so me no use RCS or open blue bubble because green bubble mean poor.
If competition didn’t exist for apple then they could give android an imessage app.
They certainly do compete with each other but it’s just a general misconception that competition lowers prices.
Pepsi and Coke have been competing with each other for decades and Coke has larger market share. So why doesn’t Pepsi just lower prices? Pepsi even has the diversified income of doing more than drinks. Lowering prices doesn’t lead to market share and Coke can just match the price.
Look at Apple’s growth in the American market, they can sell a product that is significantly more expensive than competitors and still gain market share.
Really funny because you can’t sue a gun maker for the guns they sold killing people. I say funny but I mean that it’s so depressing I have to laugh to maintain sanity.
By that same rational: My not getting a raise is a lost sale because if I had more money I would buy more. So is corporate profit a lost sale?
I wouldn’t ever buy the content so it’s not a lost sale either. All I’ve done is copy a file. gasp
Because it’s her body and she can do whatever she wants with it.
Not to be that guy but capitalists and oligarchs are basically the same thing given enough time. As soon as people have capital they have more power and with more power comes influence.
Yes, he almost always has a translator if needed.
If everyone speaks your language, why learn another?
Does it really matter? You shouldn’t have to follow a tracker or be up to date on if a subscription service will have what you want. I don’t understand why the content can’t exist on multiple platforms at once.
Space engineers is no more blocky than Starfield.
I agree with you here but I wouldn’t want to pay for a host for some FOSS project and I wouldn’t host that on my own IP either.
