As a Brazilian, I agree, but allow me to make a slight addition:

Edit: I should have circled near Arizona, I guessed Las Vegas as being up north and I guessed wrong.

One could also use w3m or links. All the RAM-hungry things (such as CSS3, JavaScript APIs and heavy multimedia files) will be finally gone for good.

For now all I can think of are drugs (every single one, including opioids) and euthanasia (not just for terminal diseases, should be available for everyone who decides to).

At least it knows how many R's are there in the word strawberry.

It's not exactly a misspelling because "fervo" is a valid Portuguese word, but it's not what the author probably means. "Fervo" is the singular first person, present tense, of the verb "ferver" (to boil), as in "eu fervo a água" ("I boil the water"). The cultural element, which is probably what the author intended to say, is spelled "frevo".

Edit: there's another misspelling I found, "Janiero". It's actually "Janeiro", "Rio de Janeiro".

Lol... it's funny how sometimes the reality seems like a simulation or a comic movie. The judge deciding against the Google monopoly is called Mehta. Remove the letter "h" to see this fun fact.

It's just a curiosity I had to point out. Good thing that Google's influence will become smaller. I mean, in a scale between 0 and 10, Google's power is going from 10 to 9.5 (Google still has Android, Google search, Google ads, among many other things), but it's better than 10.

Youtube isn't the only video platform being used as a search engine. TikTok is also often used as a "general-purpose search engine", and TikTok search works on both mobile and web versions. In some countries, such as Brazil, its usage significantly compete with Google.

you still pay for a license

Sorry, I didn't get what your point is, could you elucidate it? Because even for a physical medium, which can be held on hands, the user is still paying for a "license" (i.e. the license to use the software/game). Even for free (free as in free beer) games, the user is still receiving a "license", even though it's a gratis license.

but if you don’t own it why pay for it?

I'll use Terraria as an example for the following statement. The only way to "own" Terraria would be either owning or being Re-logic, the company behind Terraria. Even if Terraria was distributed through CD/DVD, the gamer owns just a copy, the copy that's written within the medium.

why pay for it?

It's worth mentioning that GoG has both free and paid games. For example, "Endless sky" is free, anyone can get it there without costs.

As for paid games, why pay for it? Well, it's a good question, why pay for a game? I guess the answer tends to be subjective and strictly personal to everybody that answers it. I paid for Terraria because it's a nice game to me. I paid for Slime Rancher, Kerbal Space Program, BeamNG Drive, among other games, because they're nice simulation/open-world games to me. Not everybody thinks these games are nice. I wouldn't pay for games such as Football Manager, DayZ, RDD, because I wouldn't play them, because they aren't the game genres I'd like. Therefore, I particularly pay for a game and play it when I really like the game.

Do you know what the worst thing about being from Antarctica is? Those country lists rarely include it. Penguins should invade and conquer the world, for the greatness of the Penguin Country.🐧🇦🇶

Beyond all of those, there's GOG.

I have the same feeling about Facebook. To me, my Orkut memories are more vivid than the ones from Facebook.
