I play my switch games on my PC completely legally. All the games I play are owned by me, and all of them were backed up using my own switch and my own prod.keys. Is that piracy?

Capitalism responds to demand. We have to stop paying for convenience and start demanding better. Save your money from Streaming, purchase used and physical only. Force the market to adapt to you.

It's true that no large scale Thorium reactor has been built yet. It's also true that its mathematically, chemically, and physically impossible for Thorium to pose the same radiation threat that Uranium poses under load.

Mentioning Chernobyl at all, at least to me, shows a deep lack of understanding about nuclear power infrastructure and capabilities in the 21st century. It cannot be stressed enough that Chernobyl was a fluke on top of a fluke, with bad des

Unlike an apple silicon mac, you are more than capable of installing a linux OS on your PC hardware, so this article is not exactly correct

I am sorry you have had this experience. How can HN be better?

by widowlark 3y ago
Do you have a specific example on HN? I would like to see the comments for myself, if possible

by widowlark 3y ago
Is anyone able to find these specific instances? I did a search of Asahi on HN search, and all the comments on the top posts are positive, and none are attacks on the creators. That doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but I would reall

Case in point, I only use windows for one game and one other program, and my long term plan is to eliminate it from my life altogether. Sorry microsoft, you really messed up here.

I'm very disappointed in Avi Loeb's recent work. The lack of scientific rigor he's put into these extraterrestrial theories overshadow his many years of being a rigorous physicist. for shame.

That is an aggressively hostile interpretation of fair use on their part. For shame.
