Well, the US is the country with the most people of Norwegian descent, ahead of Norway. Of course it helps up the number when you can include people with less than 100% ancestry in a much larger country.

Yeah, it's not a happy show.

Stargate SG-1, despite the tragic backgrounds of some of the leads, well, we see one plot unfold in the pilot, is one of the more fun and positive sci-fi shows around.

They say if you don't pay, you're the product, but that's obviously bullshit, paying solves nothing. The saying should be never trust corporations.

And GOG. They used to have several games up there, and then delisted them.

Streaming services, digital services in general, should be made to compete on having the best platform, not on exclusive content.

It's all the same wires going to the same machines. Internationally, too. I can see maybe allowing for different pricing for countries with very different wage levels, but if it's online, it should be available everywhere.

Windows 7 is my last Windows. Windows 10 is my current Windows. Looks like a safe bet to keep skipping at least one version. I did also go from XP to 7.

I might agree if Google had nothing to do with YouTube. But since it's theirs, I would only be worried about individual content creators and archivists, and they'd be better off with a support mechanism not controlled by Google. The ones not already raking it in with Google's, I mean.

Appeal rejected, but familiarize yourself with the content policy for future reference?

I imagine they're banning people all over the place now, I got banned from a sub for talking about apartheid in Israel a while ago.

The AIs are the ones gaslighting.

we should be paid our fair share for every data point they collect.

And every time they sell it, every transaction it leads to.

Copyright only exists to serve society, to promote the creation of content. It's not about restricting anything, other than as far as it helps more people create, more creation happen. Corporations stomping on individuals does not promote creation.
