Wait… You built a computer. Installed an OS on it, one of the easiest OSes to install… And now are having an issue installing steam… And somehow it’s the OS’ fault?
This is either fake, trying to pirate windows, or your trying to avoid responsibility for not being able to assemble a simple computer. Wtf?
It should be VIM
No one comes back from VIM.
Those who say they have are dirty liars… or have it paused in the background.
Theres no used to be when it comes to these rants. It’s just a ticking clock to the next one
Wait Sudo?
You guys don’t log in with root, and remove the password to make it easier to log on faster? It’s a little configuration but definitely worth it for time.
Downloading and watching is a crime. One night be able to say they didn’t know what they were downloading but likely the file name and site or torrent is a good clue that’s bullshit.
Your probably discussing chance of getting caught. You likely will see a DMCA complaint or something like that to your ISP at worse for downloading but enough of these might get your service terminated (some ISP don’t care.)
Sharing the files and usually sharing a lot of files publicly or semi publicly will get you more attention and that will get the media companies more likely to take you down as a distributor.
VPN and smart browsing habits will reduce a lot of this risk though.
Think of downloading is one star in GTA. They will chase you if they are you. Uploading is two stars when they start shooting at you. Profiting of it is like three stars and that’s when they get more aggressive. You can get busted at one star but it’s just very unlikely.
You can deny it, but have you really thought about it.
Think about American Politics. “Well conservatives are just fascists.” Sure, I mean there’s the party that wants to control what people say, Cancelling them if they ever said anything they don’t like. Want to remove all rights from people in specific parties, and mandate how others act at all times… and then there’s the republicans which are also clearly fascists.
I’m not trying to say “Republicans are better than Democrats” they’re not, they’re clearly not. But Democrats aren’t that good either. It’s a problem with a desire to control others and when one party wins, they should feel they have a mandate to GOVERN but instead there’s a feeling they have a mandate to RULE or CONTROL. Luckily most politicians are somewhat sane about this, but god damn, some of the die hards on both sides have lost their mind.
Power corrupts, and Absolute Power corrupts absolutely. That’s kind of a fact of being human.
IT’s also lacking viewers. Odyssee is a great idea, but I converted all my videos over and get 0 views. Odysee’s biggest problem is they need to advertise for viewers, but anyone who goes “Watch me on Odysee” sounds like an idiot, or a scammer (I know Upper Echelon pushed it for a while, but he pushed all sorts of stillborn projects, so it just was yet another one…
It basising a lot of it’s reward structure on a crypto currency doesn’t help much either.
If you’re demanding I watch ads, it’s not “free”. you’re demanding my time and probably attention.
I really think we need to stop with this idea that “Something is free” because no money is exchanged. Some stuff ARE free, there are repos on git, where you can download software, there are websites that ask for nothing. However Gmail, Youtube, reddit, and the rest are not “Free” just because they aren’t directly asking for money.
I love Chris Stuckmann, and I love his reviews, and I respect his opinion “the movie theater is important.”…
But I also know I don’t want to go to a “Movie theater” It’s not really an “Event” for us. if the choice is go to the movie theater or watch an episode or two of 8 our of 10 cats does countdown… We’d actually choose the latter.
I respect the movie theater, but at the same time I also hate the movie theater and that moving going experience.
