I wasn't sure whether to agree with this or not, so I finally took a slightly closer look at Mojo just now. This depends on how they license it going forward, and whether they make it open, or use being a superset as a way to capture t

Stuff like this is why I can not switch to Apple, I would not expect or even think to look up which Macbooks can support at least 2 displays if they otherwise had decent enough specs for them. Who knows what else I am failing to consider? I

Yep, there would definitely need to be some regulations to prevent that sort of thing as well. I could see this becoming a business where companies are paid to take on this liability of distribution for copyright holders that meets some min

Yep, and if they want to end distribution altogether or start fresh and still keep copyright, they could distribute DRM free copies for some minimum time frame.

If the provider made it available for purchase (not subscription), the liability should go to them first to make DRM free copies available for those who purchased it before shutting down the service. If they are unable to do so, e.g. a sudd

Then they can be blocked from selling the rights without the liability of maintaining the service being attached. In order to end the obligation of maintaining the service, DRM free copies must be provided to everyone who purchased the cont

At the very least I would also accept a DRM free copy being provided to everyone who had purchased it (e.g. at least one year or so to download it), and in failure to do that it becomes public domain. Anything less and we basically just end

They probably half assed the android one, but would have allocated more resources to it if it had a future. I had flash 5 running just fine on my 2004 palm with 32MB of RAM and a 312 MHz CPU. This also would have been Macromedia though and

pokemon 1st gen had 151 pokemon, making it a pretty recognizable number for pokemon fans, and nothing else of comparable notoriety for 151, and the word choice of "evolve" plus the added emphasis of the quotes in the article, I ad

Same here, especially since most of the time it's an unhelpful answer that dodges the actual problem or generic advice that doesn't apply, then they mark it as solved. Which then furthers the question, why? I could understand the

> They absolutely never have the solution and it will still be marked as problem solved. This exactly, it's the most frustrating thing ever as a user, and makes me wonder what the point of these forums even is.

I for one will never donate to signal, and consider my $1000 (or $20k of never realized "fake" money, explained later) lost to mobilecoins to be my lifetime "donation" to them. Short timeline of events from my side: - Si
