You don't have to, the exchange is fictional and even if it was real none of those are you.

What about Federation would make the apps better?

Rooting out the incentive the company have for you NOT to find a stable partner and uninstall.

That's the obvious political side effect of the european stance in this, I still think there's no magical difference between the US and Europe and the more blatant evident differentiator is that they are not tanking their own economies by regulating Meta's data gathering.

You can also spin the other way around: America doesn't do the obvious right thing because of the pressure the corporations can put on the legislators.

For the same reason the EU is doing anything at all: those companies are american.

You can bet your ass if those were europeans you would see the opposite happening. See: tiktok.

Linux has never been the hard part of linux. The biggest hurdle of linux

Is storage, especially when migrating / dual booting from Windows.

There's absolutely exoteric stuff in there that you will need to run once and then never again, so this knowledge will be lost for years, until you need it back.

Especially if you want to keep your old data.

Oh I see what you mean now. That would be seed-and-run.

That's unethical as far as pirating goes...

I'm not sure I understand.

The users go to a streaming site, they look for a movie, they click the clicks, they watch the movie, they close the browser, the temporary files are deleted.

What downloads? What stored files?

That's what steaming is (temporarily downloading), but if I'm not seeding, and neither are my fellow consumers, there's no "peer-to-peer" to speak of.

I'll mention it here, since nobody did for some reason, but torrenting is sustainable so long as people keep the files and reseed. So keeping a copy is not the end-goal of people using torrenting technology, but a necessary part of the process.

The goal, functionally, is still streaming. (So much so I used to set the torrent to download the file progressively and run the incomplete file in VLC, watching it while it was getting completed).

What keeps me away from streaming site is that I'm confused about how they sustain themselves. Aren't the costs giganormous to constantly be streaming stuff around?
