They could potentially release source only with no art assets. Then you wouldn’t be able to compile the game without either owning the game or pirating the assets elsewhere. But it would allow community members to update the game when it breaks or to add new features. Similar to the Mario 64 decompile.

While all this would be great for consumers it would probably take legislation to get publishers on board with something like this. Publishers have a financial incentive to let the games languish then force you to pay to get a “remastered” version.

I feel personally attacked by this comment.

I spent like 8 hours yesterday figuring out how to install viewtube on my NAS because I got the YouTube Adblock warning on my iPad.

Having it enabled by default is a pretty massive security hole. I preordered the raspberry pi 1 when it launched and I don’t remember SSH ever being enabled be default in their images. Where did you hear it was enabled by default?

Foss licenses are copyleft, they bar individuals from enclosing the commons built by the collective for profit. Anarchism isn’t just letting people do whatever they want. Anarchism means against hierarchy. Having rules that prevent unjustified hierarchies from forming is entirely with in the bounds of anarchism. Including rules that prevent using copyright as a coercive hierarchy.

That’s pretty good, but that drive is refurbished.

That’s a good point. According to BackBlaze’s Q1 2023 report Seagate drives have a 2.28% annualized failure rate. Which is quite a bit higher than the next closest comparison HGST which has a 1.1% afr.

That risk seems worth it to me at this level of discount.

I realized I probably should have added more context so I’ve edited the above post a soon as I posted.

It looks like the seller also accepts Apple Pay and credit card.

Thanks for the response. I used PayPal for the purchase. I could still probably cancel the purchase for the next little bit if needed. I know its pretty easy to contest an order with PayPal as a last resort. Link to paypal’s dispute policy

I’m also posting this so that others looking for a deal on prime day can see it and the community can critically examine the listing. So it may be useful for others.

Yeah, I’ve went ahead and ordered 3. I’ll try to remember to post here if I have any issues.
