@matthew @ptribble A lot of people are too afraid to buy used because of concerns that the product they buy might be partially broken. That was always my concern, but recently I discovered this local used game store that also sells used electronics and almost all of their stuff works like they are fresh out of the factory.

I'm probably going to buy used almost exclusively for now on.

A few causes of e-waste:

- Planned obsolescence by large companies. Microsoft
- Design that makes repair and upgrades difficult: Apple
- regular people buying new cheap junk

I refurbished and sell used computers. That helps just a small amount in this big problem.

Alternative operating systems, such as #Linux, #NetBSD and #Tribblix, also can extend the useful life of older computers.

People should not have to consult a legal expert before starting a business.

Reminder that the Trump administration won't actually look at the true leading cause of autism because it would mean cutting ties with a certain ally.

@ceo_of_monoeye_dating @paula8 Problem is, android development has turned to peanuts money since there's like half of India doing it. It stopped doing viable as a moneymaking career in like 2013/2014

Also, Google now wants your ID to sign packages on their store

I think "panty raids" are a shitty prank because it's literally a form of burglary, but to call it "sexual harassment" is a bit of a stretch. It would be one thing if you encounter a woman only wearing panties, but taking their panties out of their dressers or closets is no different than touching some girls panties after doing a load of laundry.

Learning that a fucking Spongebob episode was taken off of circulation just because it featured a panty raid was the shittiest thing I have ever heard.

And for those who wonder why boys are into such things, it's very simple: boys, especially in their adolescence are curious about girls. They use separate bathrooms and sleep in separate bedrooms (for the most part), and experience completely different forms of puberty, so these raids are an excuse to get a glimpse of what these generally girls-only spaces are like.

Again, it's something I would never condone, and it's something I have never done myself, but I think it's rather tame compared to something like sneaking into a girls locker-room while girls are taking a shower.

We can already play pokemon fangames far better than anything nintendos made, the only issue is that they inevitably get taken down as soon as they get popular. This proves your theory is correct.

@LolikingSama @ChristiJunior @Immahnoob @Yako @rlier23 @IAMAL_PHARIUS @jeffcliff The second amendment clearly says that the RIGHT to bear arms shall not be infringed. Restricting the means of acquiring guns would make it a PRIVILEGE, thus unconstitutional.

🤦‍♂️ I see a lot of people claiming to be genuine Native Americans in the comments complaining about this. I can't blame them.

"The Apache Software Foundation Drops the "Apache"

'As a non-Indigenous entity, we acknowledge that it is inappropriate for the Foundation to use Indigenous themes or language.'

And, yes. It says '1985' in the date. But, do not be fooled. For it is not actually 1985."

The vast majority of problems in the game industry can easily be solved if we had a truly free market where "intellectual property" laws don't exist. That way games will have to compete with other games in the same franchise.

Don't like how Nintendo is casualizing Pokemon? Just buy the Pokemon games made by this other studio. Don't like how Blizzard makes the newer Diablo games either online or mobile only? Play the Diablo games made by this other company that makes them for PC and playable offline.
