Any game that is in first person and sitting somewhere has a big VR community: flight sims, combat flight sims, racing sims etc.

The TPM included DRM as its objective 20 years ago. They backtracked at that moment because of serious backslash. Now, it's present and a dependency. Then, it will be needed for banking. Afterwards, for social media and social credit like in China.

If you think they are going to stop where we are..

Oh, they are working on that too. Win 11 depends on TPM modules, and it's not by mistake. Once they have the full software and hardware pipeline, they can control the media we see (for profit, but also for authoritarism because the jump is so small).

Yes

Tv oems are the ones that set up the hdmi club. They want the content encrypted with drm, from transit, to your pc, to your cable, to your screen. Look up the analog hole. This battle has been going on for 20 years. Share this with interested people.

Another option is to connect a Steam Controller (via its dongle, not via bluetooth). Pressing the controller steam button wakes it up always.

Just add the vpn config through the UI, no need for all of that.

They do have active protection; education. Under attack since the dawn of time.

Artists are on a gift-based economy. They gain status by giving away works. If you are the best artist in the world but don't make an effort to share your works, you are irrelevant. The more they give away the more they are recognised. Even if they give them away via pirated works. See: movies, songs that everybody knows and resonates with. Status is their currency, not money.

The status then allows them to obtain more money than other people, incidentally.

CEOs are on a market-based economy, they sell goods and services for money. They don't sell their status. The goods and services they sell are not theirs, but created with the stolen sweat, blood and lives of the people that work for them, which get a minuscule share of the profit for the amount of life they put onto it.

In gift-based economies such as the ones of artists, open source developers, fashion, cultures without scarcities of the specific resource that makes the economy (such as small plentiful tropical tribes, communes, etc), the status is the currency.

Thanks for sharing! This is an incredible comparison.

Exactly. All of that things that Germany has, meanwhile Spain is not even a federation. Yet it has the same level or more of autonomy on its regions than a federation.

By name it is not a federation (define federation..) Yet Spanish autonomies enjoy more autonomy than some federal states.

Spanish regions have their own police. These police forces are autonomous from the central ones.

https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polic%C3%ADa_auton%C3%B3mica

Some even have a specific name: Mossos, Ertzaintza, policia foral, etc..

The Spanish regions have autonomy on both collecting taxes, and assigning their own budgets. They are autonomous in the case of emergencies, healthcare, education (which allows them to set their culture), cultural ministeries,, with their own regional bodies that make their own decisions.

All this is more federal than the federal states of Germany.

Being a consitutional monarchy or republic doesn't have anything to do with federation.

Being a constitutional monarchy instead of a republic just means that they have a predesignated figurehead that represents the country, instead of electing that figurehead. The person is just a figurehead that rubberstamps things, but doesn't take decisions at all. Be it the king (in a constitutional monarchy like Spain, Norway, UK, Denmark, Sweden, etc) or however you want to call it (in a republic like France, Germany, etc).

The government gets elected.

Spain's government is more federal than federal governments like the German one.

Spain's Autonomous regions have way more leeway and freedom than regions in federal governments.

It's about search engine squatting, if you now search "Russia meatgrinder" you get that, instead of articles about losing the war.

It's not only being comfortable. Arguably western democracies are even more comfortable with healthcare, job security and more social climbing.

Is the mix of hyper individualism, zero civic culture, and crab bucket job economy.

They never want to create any new government, or anything. Not that they know how.

They just want to destroy. Russian stooges.
