Given that most NGO ad campaigns that I've seen looking for people to donate were emotionally manipulative nonsense, I disagree.

The subtext here is that some people hate it when the poor can enjoy things. I know it sounds like a joke and that it's hard to believe, but that's what's happening.

What exactly is scandinavian about this? I didn't get the reference.

All games ended up needing a GPU and a soundcard - in fact they became so necessary that all CPUs and motherboards today come with a GPU and a soundcard respectively. While VR headsets were a gimmick of the moment.

(Yes I know some CPUs come with no GPU but that's because you will buy a discrete GPU which only furthers my point)

I thought Half-Life was a series of PC games, but I own a PC but I can't play Alyx. What happened there?

My man, the post explicitly says "Banning gas/diesel cars gets there".

It is ambiguous because it makes it sound like we are talking legality here, but there's nothing illegal about making a project like this if you do not profit from it. Therefore, it is a weasel word.

"unauthorized" is a weasel word because it implies that it should be necessary for the developer to ask David Attenborough for authorization to create a clone of his voice using AI.

It's faster than Firefox.

Also it integrates better with Google services.

Citation needed for that number, I suppose, because the number is absolutely made up. There is no way to determine the cost of the externalities of fossil fuels (if they exist). Even if we were to say that CO2 is causing global warming so we need to remove it from the atmosphere, such technology does not yet exist, so we don't know how much it would cost.

Because the EU does not have a tech sector, so they can pass any tech regulations without any fear for blowback.

I doubt most young people in Spain are even earning minimum salary.

>When someone would tell me how expensive an iPhone is...

Also, of course if the average person in Spain had even the simplest economic skills we wouldn't be one of the poorest countries in the EU.

It isn't true outside of the US because salaries outside the US make iphones luxury items.

An iphone costs 1 month of salary in Spain and Spain has the highest youth unemployment rate of the EU (and those who are employed most likely make peanuts). How are young people going to afford it? If an iphone cost 200€, how many people would even use android to begin with?

Now extrapolate that to the rest of the world.
