Yes, although if one is buying used, then you're likely already avoiding digital purchases through this online service.

So just keep buying used. Pretty easy workaround.

Article says you can still play those, just not re-download on the same system it seems.

Your examples disagree with your initial statement actually. How did you get the log? How did you carve the figure? Both of these require energy consumption, as we aren't at the stage where we are magically planting trees and teleporting them into our workspaces for carving/burning.

Just to be clear, this isn't brick on a whim, this is disabling access to online services on a whim.

Seems a lot of commenters are getting that confused due to not opening the link.

Alberta does not pay for the welfare of Canadians in other provinces, it has never paid towards any equalization systems. It has taken billions in debt though, including during COVID when oil flatlined.

The reason Danielle et al were cozying up to US politicians at private events, pushing narratives like embracing America's new direction, isn't for independence or a new federal plan - it's to become the 51st state.

That's not at all similar. We know exactly how many voted for Bernie.

The only actual test of separatism in albert has been support for the pension plan and that has been so abysmal they've put the entire push on hold.

There is no Alberta Pension Plan that exists today. All provinces also already run their own police forces. So there has been no movement on this in Alberta.

I heavily disagree with this one. On first glance what you say feels true, but there are so many mega popular people now that you will never know of despite even being from the same country. People with dozens of millions of fans, selling out arenas doing multinational tours and you won’t know them at all.

But everyone knows Britney Spears, even if you were never in her target demographic. This sort of global fame now requires so much more to reach because of how many are really locked into hyper personalized online experiences. I used to be able to reference the latest big movie or show and people would know, now that’s mostly turned into an explanation that the movie or show even came out and exists.

I'm surprised you made the switch to liquid and not to powder. It's so much cheaper and not as fussy as liquid. That plus a tiny bottle of rinse aid that lasts forever winds up giving me the cleanest dishes.

There is no research that states such. Most online articles are referencing a study done on professional dishwashers, in which they complete their task within 2 minutes and some rinse aid was still found on the dishes.

Home dishwashers, the ones that take 4 hours on average, are not going to result in the same thing. Claiming such would be like claiming you won't use dish soap since technically it can still be left on your dishes when quickly washed.

That's exactly how a digital ID system would work, and yet people argue against those all the time as well.

Additionally, the corner shop does not have far lower data privacy risks - actually it's quite worse. They have you on camera and have a witness who can corroborate you are that person on camera, alongside a paper trail for your order. There is no privacy there, only the illusion of such.

Do you feel this way when you enter credit card information when making a purchase online?

For their pricing and subscription practices alone, they deserve far more backlash than they get.

There is a cost burden to not being 100% correct when it comes to programming. You simply have chosen to ignore that burden, but it still exists for others. Whether it's for example a percent of your users now getting stalled pages due to the webgl shader, or your lunch scraper ddosing local restaurants. They aren't actually forgiving regarding correctness.

Which is fine for actual testing you're doing internally, since that cost burden is then remedied by you fixing those issues. However, no feature is as free as you're making it sound, not even the "nice to have" additions that seem so insignificant.
