It's not too big of a leap

I think it is. I'd like to see at least one documented case of this happening before people start demanding that cars be able to move while plugged in. Plus, in the very scenario you describe, the car would still be able to move, no? Attaching a charger does nothing unless you're changing to parked at every red light.

The only time you'd need to drive away while charging is if the attacker walks up while you're sitting in your parked car, or kindly decides to let you get in before doing anything.

I can't find a single instance of someone being unable to escape because of their charger, so maybe let's worry about it if it ever becomes a problem.

Are you suggesting that no one is allowed to see Nintendo do a new bad thing and say "I'm no longer willing to give them my money"?

Not to mention there's nothing 'amicable' about a massive corporation, infamous for their lawsuits, approaching a single programmer with a deal that is obviously the only way to avoid being sued, despite the fact that emulators are legal.

If someone purchases a Switch game they have every right to back it up and use an emulator to play it. Instead of strongarming these projects into submission, the ethical thing would be working with them to sell legal access to ROMs.

I'm not against the idea, but I do think it's a bit unfair. There are dozens of projects KDE relies on that never even get the chance to ask for donations this way, simply because they don't need a GUI.

I believe KDE should at least offer to share the donations with other projects, projects that would otherwise have no voice. Something like the old Humble Bundle donation method would work really well, and let users to choose how their money is allocated.

I don't think that's a good example.

The answer is simple: there is no "correct" way to enjoy art. Anyone saying vinyl is higher quality than digital is deluding themselves, but that doesn't make vinyl a worse way to listen to music.

It's more convenient to beat a video game on easy, and yet, many people find greater satisfaction in playing harder difficulties. It depends on how you would rather spend your time.

According to the attorney-general's department, these are the criteria.

I don't think this protest causes harm, serious damage, a public safety risk, or serious interference to critical infrastructure, so it's not terrorism by Australian law.
