This lawsuit is specifically about Steam threatening to delist games if the creator tries to sell them at lower price than is listed on Steam.

I use an Dell docking station with my laptop. Any webpage with Spotify embed turns off my external displays because somewhere along the line the video signal loses the DRM certification. It's infuriating.

If it doesn't use servers, where is the content stored? Or stuff just disappears when a user whose computer used to serve the files is turned off?

YouTube reencodes your uploads so I don't see how could you decode your original data.

Mercedes for example - and it works better than Tesla's on shitty roads.

It would be probably cheaper and much better for the world to set up something like this for Elon, where everything is exactly how he wants it.

Yes I know, it was just pretty funny that the first comment I saw was about a paid 3rd party app not paying for access, when this was one of reddit's "official" reasons for the changes.

General submissions have tons of comments, so there are actual discussions going on, motivating users to check back often. Also (at least for now), the discussions have less noise.

Content-based subreddits (like instantkarma, holdmyfries) where there is minimal discussion can be easily replicated with a bot, until organic submissions reach a critical mass.

That leaves community based subreddits, but when Reddit aggravates the community leaders they can easily move (like piracy did).

We have similar system in Europe, cc and debit cards, PayPal (And similar) payment processors remain popular.

Half the time a site just refuses to work. I click on a link to a tweet, and it's either "Ooops..." or a sign in window. This can't be good for a social media site, that mainly gets its value from the number of users. Disregarding laws in Europe regarding the firings is also a very shortsigthed decision that will bite them in the ass.

They aren't going after the users, they are suing the ISP. The comments are about the ISP's leniency towards torrenting, so they are trying to find the users to validate their claims and add the comments as evidence to the case.
