I get distracted when I leave the kitchen, so doing the dishes while waiting until the next cooking step is done fixes two problems for me: 1) I get less mess afterwards, 2) less destroyed food because I left the kitchen and forgot to check it.

We have the same about a shit whip – „z gówna bata nie ukręcisz”

In Poland it is „nosić drewno do lasu” (bring wood to the forest). Similar, but a bit different (pointless not just by being pointless, but by being impossible): „nie zawrócisz kijem Wisły” – 'you won't turn Vistula (our biggest river) with a stick'.

Non-toxic glue would be starch or gelatine - both used as base of some 'real glues', both with valid culinary use, including exactly this use case. We just don't call those 'glue' in this context.

I like our European rules, when we are guaranteed PTO by law and employers would often force you to take it when you accumulated too much unused off days. The system cares even for those who would not care for themselves.

Otherwise they should be forced to state the game is a rental not purchased if it requires a server that may shut down.

But that is what they already do. Currently this might be hidden in the EULA, that no one reads, but even making this plainly visible during purchase wouldn't change much. I is not like the players have much choice when they want to play that specific game.

Those would be different kind of regulations. Not just 'you need functioning brakes' kind, but also 'you must serve this route that hardly anyone uses and and you cannot make any extra money from'. Or 'no extra fees, even where some people would pay them'.

If that means proper regulations (as it should) I bet they would hate it.

And that is the problem with this idea.

Subscription to a software is not mutually exclusive with self-hosting. Developers deserve to earn money, especially those who do not rely on collecting data, showing ads and enshittification of their cloud platform.

Sounds like what happened to Kerbal Space Program 2… it didn't end well

Didn’t they just move the code that was previously executed in the proprietary kernel module to the new also proprietary userspace driver

Probably. And that is exactly what was expected from them since the beginning of their Linux drivers. Kernel is not a place for such big and proprietary piece of code. So this is the important change.

Yes, the driver is still proprietary, but it does not break the kernel any more the way it did.
