That's what you get for being indecisive!

Because then your browser would itself have to be a torrent client.

The way torrents download is fundamentally different from how a standard http download works, which is why they have a specialist implementation. Browsers dont want to bother bringing a whole load of new code and associated bugs into the browser to do a job which isn't really connected with the browser's main responsibility, which is browsing the web.

Just because torrents come from the web shouldn't make it the browser's responsibility to deal with them.

Thanks. I've been keeping my eye on colour ereaders, and the tech has improved so rapidly in the last couple of years I do wonder if I just hang on for another year then the colour reproduction could be even better.

Can't wait forever of course, that defeats the whole purpose, but it might pay to wait just a little.

I've had two kindles so far, but my next e-reader won't be from Amazon.

I'm trying to move my tech life away from closed ecosystems as much as possible, So I'll probably go for a kobo or boox.

For me the dream would be a really large colour ereader around 10 inches, where you can view even the densest manga or comics comfortably without zooming or scrolling. I think that's what I'm holding out for.

People should do whatever the hell they like.

There's no harm in trying out a lot of different distros for the fun of it if that's what you find entertaining, and it's educational to see the state of what's out there.

Not needing to stay locked to a specific distro is part of why Linux is great, and very unlike Mac or Windows.

If you like being loyal then be loyal, that's a fine choice too, and freedom of choice is what this is all about.

From a speedrunners' perspective, that's a blessing, not an issue!

It's pretty ridiculous.

What happens if you go there and Sony have moved their EULA page and it just 404s? Does that mean there is no EULA at all and you can play without terms? Doubt Sony woild see it that way lol.

EULA should be displayed within the same context it is accepted.

I had so many good times on forums back in the day.

The personal nature of them was great for being social and making friends, but it was also good for the quality of the content for and user behaviour too.

When everyone recognises you and remembers your past behaviour, people put effort into creating a good reputation for themselves and making quality posts. It's like living in a small village versus living in a city.

The thought of being banned back then genuinely filled people with dread, because even if you could evade it (which many people couldn't as VPNs were barely a thing) you'd lose your whole post history and personal connection with people, and users did cherish those things.
