We played bioware games for the stories and the lore, gameplay although important wasn't the most important and that's why despite Mass Effect gameplay we loved it.
Some of the people that worked on that Bioware are working on Exodus which was a very interesting story.
Good job on moving away from Ubuntu, in the end Debian has been there longer and it's more trustworthy.
Personally I think Mass Effect Andromeda has the best gameplay of the series but everything else ranges from just okay to bad
Did you even read the page you linked?
>Shortly before the end of World War II and the later beginning of the Marshall Plan, President Roosevelt ordered the American ambassador in Madrid to inform Franco that any "political or economic aid" from the United States would be "impossible" as long as the dictator remained in power.
>The decision was ratified in August 1945 by a joint declaration of Stalin, Truman and Attlee. In February of the following year, France closed its border with Spain, leaving the country completely isolated. The UN asked all its members in December 1946 to retire their ambassadors from Spanish territory, and did not revoke its condemnatory declaration until 1950. Spain joined the UN in 1955
[...]
>The government protested against the isolation, stating that Spain had "the right to buy on international markets", and criticized the international community for sabotaging the country's "right to live according to its spiritual values"
>The Spanish international reputation would begin to improve gradually in the late 1940s and early 1950s, after the consolidation of the Cold War, due to the explicit interest of the United States in promoting anti-communist governments in Western Europe. The diplomatic displays of approval by the American government helped to strengthen the regime and stabilize its economy, which would eventually lead to the liberalization policies that marked the 1960s
Which is exactly what I said in my previous reply. Isolation FORCED by the international community (Franco fought against the USSR and Cold War wasn't established yet), they embraced it sure because they had no other choice. They could trade with Argentina (Franco-Peron protocol, signed in 1946)
Calling them freedom fighters is not knowing anything about them. Their first actions were stealing from banks and most of the victims happened after the dictatorship was over.
They were the same people.
Spain was isolated due to it's political Allignment in the 40's, things changed a lot from 1954 on wards when they realized they had a friend in there now that the enemy was the USSR.
As far as I know regarding La Liga's censorship it's due to a commercial court judge in Barcelona; meaning a single local Judge has given the green light to block the internet in a whole country.
Average price of AC instalation in Spain goes from 550€ to 5000€ depending on what kind of instalation, equipment and units. Average wage is between around 1300€ net per month.
In Spain it's not cheap.
Edit. And also local towns have rules, I can't just install one that have a device on the outer wall/window and I own the whole house, in the flats you depende on the community to decide.
Even in Spain depends on the zone it can be everywhere or nowhere. In the north it's rare to find AC.
No one hates AC, it just wasn't needed.
If photos are important for you GCam is a must, you can download it
Why? Technofeudalism is not going to impose itself
I have been using GrapheneOS for a few months in Spain with and out of three banking apps only one gave me trouble, I had to enable "Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode" on "app information". Personally I refuse to pay with the phone so I am okay not having that option.
If someone wants to try Graphene os maybe that option will work on their banks too.
I only know expats and they can't wait to see Maduro gone.
It's a day some people in the US don't have to work so I think that's something worth celebrating
My external home assistant doesnt work either, I have to use the VPN.
Thanks Tebas.
I got rid of a fine but just being nice, acknowledging my mistake to the officer and apologizing without the intention of getting away without my well deserved fine.
So what are going to be the consequences of this? In my country some healthcare institutions and emergency systems are working.
My bad.
Note to self: wake up before replying.
I have been in forums my whole life and discord is far from them, discord is just a chat akin to irc. Forums and IRC worked together very well, when I was moderating a huge gaming community we had several IRC channels for those who wanted live participation.
It's impossible to follow a discussion in discord because when you arrive it may be over and they are talking about something else, that doesn't happen in a forum you can just post and add your take. And managing knowledge is easier in a forum, I can still find my 15 year old replies, or access all the news I created back when I was a mod.
Generally speaking Apple isn't as big in Europe
I said in another comment I pay for some services too, but if my online experience have taught me anything is that I can't trust them to be around, or be good forever.
I used House of the Dragon as an example, I watched it on HBO max but I also downloaded it and shared it online. One of my favorite shows (Future Man) is now on D+ but I am not going to delete it from my collection.
It all comes to: "I don't trust others with the data I care for"
Besides what other have said it's a matter of time netflix starts to delete cancelled series because they are a waste.
If you are in a lenient country you'll be fine with a public tracker, and it's easy to deploy sonarr and some torrent client to download things automatically.
I have never stopped pirating since I got internet. My TV provider gives me Netflix, I have HBO Max through a sweet deal, amazon because of the delivery and Disney because a friend share the account, yet I still download all the shows I want, for example, I downloaded House of the Dragon week after week while I watched it on HBO Max, I think the only episode I watched pirated was the leaked one.
Why? Because I automated this process along time ago and also because I know sooner or later I am going to stop paying for that and this way I am prepared for it, because I don't have Apple or Rakuten, or many others. Because I have my own library of stuff (paid, and pirated) that goes back decades and I can access it from anywhere in the world.
Considering how frecuently movies (and third party shows) disappear from one platform to appear in other that seems hellish.
It's easier to pirate stuff.
