I can’t say I don’t have this problem, but the reality is that really is a non-issue regarding piracy.

It comes down to two things actually: procrastination and unnecessary use of your resources. Meaning, you should just start what actually gets you interested, and move on. And instead of data hoarding tons of media, try to consume what you have first instead.

Yet Brave, Opera, Vivaldi and pretty much any other browser (Chromium or Gecko) allow you to use uBlock if you want, even if they have their own built in.

Torrents, Alternative Streaming Sites, IPTV, Debrid… the options are plenty enough. In other words: Fuck streaming subscriptions.

For Christ’s sake, dude…

By your post history, there have been at least 15 days since you started trying to figure out how to crack ChatGPT. Haven’t you, in 15 days, learned anything about LLMs at all? Why would you even want the ‘best’ of ChatGPT if your lack of understanding is so basic that learning from a base model (available for free in many different places) would be more than enough for your current capabilities?

Sorry… I’m usually not this type of person, but stop asking stupid questions and do some fucking reading!

Since I use it only eventually instead of running 24/7 I like Surfshark. If I’m not mistaken it’s under Netherlands jurisdiction, which makes it much more trustworthy than USA VPN providers. It also has good cost benefit and good performance overall.

I never looked into it too deeply though. But as I said, for sporadic use I am definitely satisfied.

Most certainly a false positive. Throw the file in VirusTotal and see what it shows. But cracked games, from Anker or anywhere, are constantly flagged with false positives from antivirus software.

I know the US government and legal system will side with Anthropic, because that’s what these fuckers do, but I hope they fuck off and, if they intend to escalate, China retaliates. These Silicon Valley companies are full of shit and full of themselves.

For me is it’s awesome, out of the box, syntax highlighting, auto-suggestions/auto-complete and the up arrow history function (that includes substrings).

I only use Win11 as a remote game server to play games with Moonlight/Sunshine without worrying about compatibility issues. To work and daily usage, it’s Linux all the way.

Just a matter of time until I transition 100% to Linux though. In the meantime I run WinUtil every once in a while to make sure to disable most of that shit.

Yeah… I don’t know how the general public is using AI, but it’s definitely a very useful tool. I understand it comes with a lot of issues regarding privacy, content rights, and predatory mega corporation practices, but the tool itself is useful. And we don’t even need to rely on Google, Microsoft, OpenAI, Anthropic nowadays to use it. Open-weight models that run locally on open source agents are already pretty capable for a lot of daily tasks. I think a lot of people fail to understand is that it can be used responsible as a tool to help on tasks and automation instead of being a tool to be trusted blindly. I sure will not try to convince anyone to use it, specially if they don’t want to, but playing pretend that it’s a useless technology does not help either.

Maybe I have misunderstood what the point of the article is but… What a giant load of horse shit.

If anything it just proves that the CENTRALIZED social network is the problem. X/Twitter amplifies what Musk wants and since it’s so big and influential (also because of Musk’s financial situation) it contaminates the perception of reality in all other mainstream social media.

I fail to see how this is an example that decentralized social networks such as the ones from Fediverse could make things worse.

Social network algorithms doesn’t care if you like or not the content itself, what matters the most to them is how long your screen stays parked on a post.

Maybe you’re watching something you think it’s terrible, and then you enter comments to see how people are reacting. It might be making you furious, but that makes it, mathematically, a successful post that grabbed your attention and therefore the algorithm will throw more of that shit at you, because it wants your attention.

It is evil because it ignores human nature and it doesn’t measure how you feel about it. It rewards highly controversial topics because it knows these posts grab people’s attention one way or another.

As others have mentioned, you’re not forced to. But Debian is indeed way more conservative in that regard if you use their stable release. Particularly I think you won’t have issues with either regarding hardware compatibility or performance. But for what reason would you want Arch or Cachy OS if you don’t mind me asking?

Just so you know, if you install Distrobox you can run pretty much any app from any distro (except drivers), regardless if you choose Debian or Arch. So if I were you, I’d choose Debian if you’re worried about stability, and choose Arch/CachyOS if you want to keep up to date features and drivers. Then use Flatpak and Distrobox to download pretty much any app you want.

I particularly use CachyOS and have zero issues with it with my Asus Vivobook with a Ryzen 5825U released on 2023.

Is it a new action from them? I’ve been reading a lot complaints about it lately.

If they’re banning people for using VPN, they’ve reached a new low. Not that I care though… Reddit is just a shadow of what it once was.

For instance, the MIT license being popular is pretty hard evidence that FOSS doesn’t necessarily mean anti-corporate, and for many users GitHub still more or less does what it says on the tin.

I’m pretty sure that MIT license is that popular out of ignorance, instead of an informed decision to allow corporate to steal and make money out of their code.

I believe the core reason is that, when MS bought it, and while they make it worse day by day, the number of projects in Github was already huge and it just keeps growing. That being said, it is still the main platform to find FOSS projects, and to have your project be found.

A lot of people are migrating though. The good thing about the FOSS community and philosophy is that they don’t really need to rely on shitty companies like Microsoft. They can (and many actually do) just move on, at least regarding their own personal projects.

Not saying you’re wrong, but I wonder how many people that were willing to pay 250 dollars for lifetime would actually pay more than 3 years of subscription.

I believe most lifetime buyers do it for FOMO. They pay it believing that they won’t ever need to worry about it again and that they’re making a good or safe deal… but most of them won’t be using Plex that much anyway.

With this price hike Plex is basically killing the lifetime option. Sure, they might get more subscribers at first, but in the other hand they will also lose a lot of impulse buyers that will hardly pay them 250 dollars in monthly subscriptions at the long run. At least, that’s what I think…

I believe Linux will experience a slow, steady growth because the technical alternatives for most Windows features and softwares already exist, making it pretty much a matter of time until people realize it. But the friction, like IT retraining, vendor certified vendor support from Adobe and other shit, and general user habits, are still too high.

Edit: Although, on a second thought, maybe not even that slow given Microsoft incompetence at managing Windows.

Valve’s Proton support bringing gaming to Linux effectively, Windows 10 reaching its EoL deeming millions of perfectly functional PCs as e-waste by requiring TPM 2.0 and a short list of CPUs, and Microsoft’s aggressive and incessant push of invasive telemetry and AI features (like that shit Recall stuff), are certainly driving a lot of users toward Linux. If Microsoft keep making decisions like this, I’m not sure how long they will be able retain their user base.
