2026 year of the Linux phone?

Details on said struggles?

It’s a great idea.

It can’t phone home if you keep it offline when gaming.

There may have been a “dip” but never was it close to being moribund.

It almost died when?

Any pirated content that I’ve looked for over the past 20 years has been easily accessible.

They might want American made, they just can’t afford it.

Your idea for an alternatives to website sounds like a great idea.

Early 2000s, pre-smartphone internet was better. That isn’t a romanticized claim.

You should ask them directly :p.

Unlike a cover, a remix differs in that it uses the original recording, and is not just a re-creation of it.

This means to release a remix legally, you must seek copyright permission from the original artist or band who created the song or the sample you want to remix or reuse.

Facebook was leeching? No way…
