Multiple ways.

Companies can completely erase the idea of ownership. If everything is subscription-based, they can simply stop the subscription and have no further obligations.

Or Europe just gets completely locked out of functionality, as already happens in some European countries.

Of course good things can come from this, but I’ve read here several times that this just isn’t a good proposition and might just lead to the anti-consumer practices disappearing in a negative way too.

Or kill it completely. The only reason I’ve held off signing this is that the wording is so vague that it could work in favor of gaming companies. I’d rather not see that.

It’s a web app wrapped in Tauri. So basically a desktop app, but the web app can be hosted too.

Another way that needs a credit card:

Make a disposable e-mail, sign up for a month trial for Qobuz or Tidal and use a program like StreamRip to just download high-quality music straight from the platform.

When the trial ends, just make a new e-mail and repeat.

Someone mentioned Lucida here, which is more straightforward, but I found it slow and often failing. Once you’re signed up, downloading is easy and it’s the easiest way to get more obscure stuff in high quality.

I’ve read through your links. They don’t have much to do with the codebase itself, but with protecting the trademarks.

From what I read, you’re free to change whatever you want. You just can’t go around using their trademarked names for your modified version.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but I have less problems with the “luxury” items, such as cigars.

They’re usually hand-crafted expensive stuff that’s made to enjoy once and a while, compared to cigarettes which are mass produced with the sole purpose to get you addicted.

I think the same is true with alcohol. There’s the cheap, mass produced stuff vs the more expensive “hand”-crafted stuff.

I wish we could just enjoy these things without corporations trying to get us addicted to them at every opportunity, disregarding any of the dangers associated with consuming them.

It also raises red flags about what they (hopefully don’t) have in mind for the future

I guess I do?

Visualizing stuff isn’t quite the outline one, there’s more detail. But thinking of some paintings, I can’t quite recall the colors.

No, I would tell you to avoid Ghent at all costs then!

Just make sure to avoid Brussels. Belgian myself and I hate the place.

Stopped there for a day on the way back from Spain. The walled Hamlet is beautiful, especially nice to stroll through the streets after dark.

I mean, yeah. Only one of both groups had both experiences.

Child free people love to shit on an experience they know nothing about, sure parents are ready to reply to those.

Nobody is telling people to have children…

Could send it over ATP - Avian Transfer Protocol.

Does require a USB stick and for your friend to train a pigeon though.

Old railway lines in Europe often aren’t complete anymore and only cover relatively small distances.

There simply isn’t enough infrastructure to handle a full train network and fixing them up would probably require existing infrastructure and buildings to be disowned and destroyed.

The wheel is just there during the testing phase as a backup, seems the final pods don’t have it, as it would make the idea useless.

Love it.

I’ve been willing to learn more about programming with location/map data so definitely checking this out.

Are you looking for contributions or help on anything? I think I might at least look at providing a Dutch translation for the front-end if you’re accepting PRs.

To plan, organize or review routes.

This seems more like Garmin Basecamp, it’s not supposed to be used on the routes themselves I’m guessing.

Also made communities, setup a patron and donation mails.

This just seems like a dude wanting to scam money out of it and/or taking credit for continued development, disregarding any effort made before the fork.

I guess you didn’t read the article then?

Weird how US news sources always feel the need to mention children, not even sure how it’s relevant here?
