Big tech can cheat the system by paying their taxes on countries in which they are lower, but when you try to do the same:

Then they must be held liable for what they allow to spread on their platforms

Yes, at least that’s what was on OP’s system

OMG nice build! I’m waiting on RDNA4 to finally upgrade my setup to AM5 and by then I hope we already have the X3D variants of the 9000 series from AMD too, but daily driving my RTX 2060 6GB in 2024 on both Windows and Linux has been quite the painful experience…

Wow that’s crazy, did she read the book even after that major spoiler you didn’t know you were giving her?

I’ll be so excited if I actually win this and get to play it with my boyfriend, sounds like such a good time :)

Over the last year I’ve been dating a potterhead and I never read/watched the whole series (due to generally disliking fictional books and not really watching movies). However, I love video games and feel like playing Hogwarts Legacy would allow me to know the universe of HP a little better while also being more connected with my boyfriend’s interests - we could also play it together!

does WoW run on linux??

Doesn’t matter if you know what it means, but you can still pronounce it (for the most part)

That’s the beauty of the added gramatical complexity these languages have compared to English, although there are still cases where things get ambiguous. For example, the following words are written differently but pronounced the exact same, generally relying on their context to differentiate them:

• sela/cela;
• censo/senso;
• assento/acento;
• cozer/coser;
• concerto/conserto;
• tacha/taxa;

I’ve always been told that Portuguese is like “Spanish and French had a baby”.

Having studied Spanish, French and English I can confirm that those similarities are definitely present!

My wife and I were in a cab with a native Portuguese speaker who knew a bit of English and a bit of Romantic languages. My wife knows a bit of French; I know a bit of Spanish… and between the three of us, we were able to speak to each other in a kinda “creole type” delivery. It was really cool to experience.

What an interesting story! Where I live there are a lot of Haitian immigrants and communicating with them also involves that “creole type” language. In comparison talking to Cuban / Venezuelan immigrants is made much easier due to the similarities with Spanish. Regardless, the fact you can have a basic talk with an entire continent because of this is so cool.

Lastly, I have to ask… do you think “bradypneic” would be pronounced “BRAY-DIP” or “BRA-DIP” in English?

Definitely the second pronunciation (“BRA-DIP”) is the correct one!

Paying for it is not the problem at all, in fact it’s preferred over a freemium model.

The practices I mostly refer to are:

• microtransactions in any context;
• requiring additional software (PSN overlay) that doesn’t support all platforms;
• PSN account requirement for a game that’s sold on Steam (have they forgotten about the shitshow that was Helldivers II?).

EDIT: history has also told us that paying upfront for a hero shooter doesn’t work out in the long term if the game wants any shot at being popular, just look at Overwatch’s failure to capitalize on it’s momentum by not becoming free-to-play earlier (and everything else wrong with Blizzard and their management).

Wow that is outrageous. I paid the Brazilian equivalent for that amount yesterday on a 16 slice pizza with four different flavors and a white chocolate border + an 8 slice small sweet one from a local shop with delivery services and all.

No wonder these companies don’t see the financial benefit for bringing their operations to the country…
