Meanwhile, I am permanently banned from YouTube for uploading a 45 second clip of an episode of Star Wars Rebels as a private video to share with my kids, after we just (legally) watched it and they thought it was cool.
Such a good system.

I made bootleg tapes for my friends. I remember Little Feat and The Band were pretty popular choices.
I really wish they’d pick a better name. Ableism aside, it’s just a terrible name.
Crime rules.
If I can’t type /pizza in EverQuest to get a pizza to wizard itself to my doorstep, I don’t even know what technology is trying to do anymore.
Sort of correct. Red Star OS has been in wide use for nearly 20 years now, but it is definitely not FOSS like actual Linux distributions.
Being defederated by lemmyworld is a badge of honor. Keep up the good work!
Kathmandu is where we’re going to, baybeeeeeee!!
That was a very cool read. I’m not particularly technical—I can build a PC and install an OS, and that’s about it—and I understood most of it. I had no idea that cursors were such heavy pieces of crap!
If it’s “failed” they can write off the investment as a loss. They get a tax break as a result. Capitalism rewards innovation (in tax avoidance), after all.
Oh my gosh, that’s messed up. And you can’t even turn it off??!?
What? Where? I haven’t seen an ad in Firefox since Carter was president.
Oh my God, that’s disgusting! Illegal streaming services online? Where? Where did they post those?
Netflix continuing to piss and shit and cum its pants after the one quarter where they had -1% subscriber growth, and the company lost 75% of its value. Investors are such smart cookies.
I have fond memories of meth, though.
I don’t know anything about Linux, but I believe they merged with the Yutani Corporation in 2099.
You can hardly blame Valve for a country’s currency collapsing.
Not to say that Steam doesn’t have some tremendous issues on this front (it does), but I truly wish more companies understood this. If you let me play / listen / watch your thing on whatever device I choose, for a reasonable one-time price, in perpetuity, I will pay that price.
Ten bucks for a Witcher season? Sure. A fiver for the latest season of Glup Shitto’s Starred War Adventure? Yeah, I’m in. I’m not gonna pay $180 a year to five different companies each to watch six or seven new maybe great but probably mid TV shows.
Same goes for games. I’m not paying $80 plus a $40 battle pass every year to play Call of Duty 2: 3: War Crimes Boogaloo, Part 5. I’m just gonna steal your shit. I will not feel bad about it in the slightest.
Does incognito mode do anything that temporary containers don’t? In a world of 2FA key password managers, having to log in every session is super easy—barely an inconvenience.
I’m kind of a dumb guy about computers, but destroying everything every time seemed like a smart call.
As somebody who once worked at an ISP: they absolutely do that, and it isn’t illegal. In fact, ISP’s host many of Ookla’s speedtest servers. The less infrastructure your test needs to go through, the better the results will be—there’s nothing faster than a network that’s communicating with itself.
