You had McDonalds? That was just a farm in my day. Eee-eye-eee-eye-oh!

They’re raising it because of RAM needs of browsers and GNOME.

If you’re a shell nerd like me, you’ll still be fine running it on a potato.

I did. That’s the bit that’s wrong. You don’t own a copy. Read the terms and conditions. I handily copied and pasted the relevant parts.

The fact you have a copy does not mean you own it. Ownership would mean you could transfer that property. You cannot transfer it (legally).

You own nothing on GOG. It’s a license like everywhere else plus the benefit of having access to DRM-free binaries. Your license permits you to download and use those binaries personally. But you do not own them.

That benefit of the rights to download and use those DRM-free binaries, however, is not to be sniffed at. It’s a fantastic benefit!

But you don’t own them.

This isn’t quite right. You do not own the game, you are purchasing a non-transferable license, bound to you:

2.1 We give you and other GOG users the personal right (known legally as a ‘license’) to use GOG services and to download, access and/or stream (depending on the content) and use GOG content. This license is for your personal use.

3.3 Your GOG account and GOG content are personal to you and cannot be shared with, sold, gifted or transferred to anyone else.

It’s simply a boon that they entitle you to download DRM-free binaries but technically, if that license is revoked by GOG, you are not legally entitled to use or store that binary anymore. Practically, however, is a different story.

Very much this. Watch a few chefs on TV / the internet and just trial and error. Cooking is a skill like anything else and you simply need to put in the time to get experienced.

I do highly recommend you own a wooden chopping board, a Mercer Culinary Chef’s Knife (or better), and a 1000 grit whet stone for sharpening. A sharp knife makes cooking easier and more enjoyable. And a wood board is kinder to a blade and is surprisingly more hygienic than alternatives.

Most corporate owned devices are managed with some kind of tool (for restricting what users can do, pushing out software and updates, etc). These tools are called Mobile Device Management (MDM).

The developer is detecting the presence of MDM tools and using that to present a splash page to the user about the licensing requirements etc.

Some educational institutes use MDM to manage students, even so far as to require it be installed on personal owned devices. The developer has been working with edu users to except them.

Good spot. And I love lowercase 𝑓 with ascender and descender.

Bad for Meta. They wasted a lot of time, money, manpower etc.

Edit: I’m just answering the person’s question. I hate Meta - I don’t have Facebook and I don’t have a Quest.

Pretty sure it’s My Name Is All En.
