Reminds me of Sgt Bilko.

Sounds like they need better bootstraps.
Or at least a business model.
In think ‘shrewd’ is probably the word, even if using it ironically.
First thing that came to mind.
Lemmings on MS DOS. I think it was DOS, I was like 10.
I think it’s dangerous now, without regulation and protection, and I think it’s a long way from how I feel it will eventually come to be viewed; as something more akin to performance art or a form of therapy.
Seems like a match made in heaven.
I don’t know about you all, but I have been posting as an adult human male for a numbers of years now despite being a 4 year old Alaskan Malamute. No one seems to notice or care.
It’s good old-fashioned xenophobia and is by no means unique to Americans or English-speakers even in the modern era. Anyone who has spent enough time in certain parts of France, Italy, or Belgium has probably encountered it at some point.
It’s everywhere but it is probably most prevalent in countries with a strong nationalist core and, in my opinion, ironically occurs most often in countries that have really fucked around with having an empire in the last century or so.
M$ just decided to be dicks about it
A most concise yet comprehensive company bio.
There are literally two albums that I love that I can’t find on Bandcamp or piracy, but they are literally the only thing keeping my Spotify subscription alive right now.
I think I’m just going to have to stream them into my DAW and do a poor man’s rip, then cancel this shit ass.
Across social, economic, and political spectra, you can always tell the good guys from the bad guys by their stance on access to knowledge.
Damn they already breed better than us too.
The only thing that MIGHT take me off piracy is the ability to do legally and for reasonable cost what I do with piracy. If I buy something, I download and store it wherever and it’s mine forever. I have no problem paying for my content, once. The problem is that we’re being driven towards paying for our content over and over. Just like we’re being asked to pay for our everything else over and over.
(At the time of the layoffs, Electrek reported that Musk got rid of the entire team because its Tinucci did not lay off enough workers on her own.)
This single anecdote tells you just about everything you need to know about how Elon Musk approaches any kind of interpersonal interaction. His emotional IQ is non-existent.
Plex server on a purpose built Linux box with about 34tb. I mostly use Usenet for sourcing stuff, because it’s so quick and comparatively private, but I also use torrents for some harder to find stuff. I also buy a lot of the more obscure music I want from Bandcamp and just download the highest quality version.
I ran in parralel with my streaming services for a month, just in case I ever had trouble finding current shows we’re watching, but I’ve never had trouble finding good quality rips of shows the same day they are released.
I just can’t tell you how good it feels to look at my TV, movies, and music collection and know that it’s mine. Every episode and song and film is mine to store and protect, and not subject someone else’s license agreements.
I canceled my Hulu+Disney+whatever package this week, as well as my Netflix. Piracy all the way.
Not a lady but I’ve been married to one for a couple decades and I think we have good communication.
I’d wager that there is little difference in the urge to get off. I’d wager that the biggest difference lies in where ‘getting off’ falls within the whole sequence of events.
For most men, getting off is the last period at the end of the last sentence of the last chapter. That may create urgency in their partner that might not otherwise be there.
It reaches out it reaches out it reaches out
That just means they are probably less relevant skills.
