Somebody please teach the bot to just say Twitter instead of X, formerly known as Twitter. Will save 4 words

I'm not sure if mobile AMD users have to do the same

No we don't. Mesa and the kernel automatically decide to use the dGPU for intensive tasks. It is only on rare ocassions that I have to use the DRI_PRIME=1 to force the use of the dGPU. It has been months since I last did it

Well russell had far less damage in 2019 so he did not get a penalty. No expectation needed in that case.

Yes it's a luxury but in a lot of 3rd countries, these luxuries help people to learn and improve their English and general soft skills.

It wasn't a drain cover though

Well the formula 1 article refers to it as a drain cover. It did look more like a cap but since I don't know the technical term, I went with what the official article referred to it as.

If you put a shelf up onto a wall, and then when you load up the shelf the wall falls over. That's not on you.

It is on you if you are the one who designed the shelf and decided to fix it at point of the wall without measuring if the wall could handle the load. It is different matter if you had a carpenter to build and install the shelf. In that it is his/her responsibility to ensure that the wall can handle a loaded shelf. In this case, since FOM are hosting the race, it is completely their responsibility that shit like this does not happen.

It's not bad luck. It is incompetence by FOM resulting in massive damage to a team. People hosting the race(FOM in this case) should be aware of these things and ensure than drain cover failures like these don't happen

People are saying it is morally justified to pirate which is the same conclusion your seemed to have reached. Nobody is saying it is legally justified.

I don't know man. The companies have no respect for us as consumers. Why should we respect them and their copyright in that case.

"justify" stealing it from them.

In many cases, these services stream shows which they did not have a hand in creating but own the distribution rights to. In that case pirating seems like a weak case of stealing to me. The original crew have already been paid and rewarded for their work and now the streaming companies are just storing and streaming that content which is the same thing piracy websites do. On the other hand pirating newer content and content that is platform exclusive because they(HBO, Disney, etc) are the ones that made it seems a lot more like stealing to me. I am not going to feel guilty for pirating shit like friends or Seinfeld. I am also not going to feel guilty for pirating content which has been geoblocked in such a way that it is not available in my country through any legal means.

What I am trying to say with this is that there are situations where piracy is both convenient and justified

Guy pays good money for a 4k tier Netflix subscription because he does not want to pirate. Has a home theatre linux machine because he is worried about the privacy risks of his smart tv and hence doesn't connect his TV to the internet. Finds that he can only get a low bitrate 720p stream on his PC . He is appalled at the fact he isn't getting the quality he paid for and amused at the fact that he would have gotten better quality if he had just pirated and concludes that piracy is just the better experience.

go mental like Torvalds.

But if you need the help of his code and products, then you should begrudging acknowledge that he is not an idiot. If you truly believe that he is an idiot, you should find a solution to your problem without pulseaudio or systemd because if not you are just an hypocrite.
