  • There was an infamous conman in my country by the name Sülün Osman. He has managed to con people by claiming to sell the Galata Bridge itself. After he was caught, his defense was "As long as there exists idiots that believe I can sell the bridge, I will keep selling this bridge."

  • Biggest difference between Ubuntu and Pop is that Ubuntu aims to popularise usage of snap and uses apt as a backup option while Pop aims to deliver its software through apt and flatpaks, in the priority that the user wants.

    Flatpaks are more consistent to run, they can run between all distros but install dependencies seperately so could take up more space for installations.

    Apt makes use of the native debian installation, which works well for most but sometimes you could be stuck in a dependency hell between some software. Uses the storage more efficiently as it can share dependencies between multiple installed packages.

    Snap sucks. There's literally no point in using it. It can run apps on all distros similarly to flatpak but its worse in every possible way. It hits noticably to run time of applications.

  • As far as I can recall, EMPRESS called them out for linking malware to her crack releases. Please someone correct me about its details as I don't fully remember it.

    Edit: Looked it up, there was a torrent with a bitcoin miner injected that 1337 mods appearently didnt remove which caused the whole ordeal.

  • If anyone wants to keep going with this, try Google Play Gift Cards for said countries. You can pay for it via gift card balances, You can find them in key selling websites, or have someone you know in those countries buy gift cards.

  • Fun fact about Minecraft: It's written in Java which is a programming language makes porting to other platforms really easy. The way it works is that it turns the instructions into bytecode that Java Virtual Machine runs, essentially allowing any device with JVM to run it.

  • I don't get what the manga publishers aim to achieve from this. I've bought official translation paper versions of like 20 manga series that I've read through scanlations. If I didn't read the scanlations, there is no way I would ever buy them let alone read them.

    There is absolutely no fucking way I would pay per episode like publishers want digitally. They put the dumbest restrictions like I can't screenshot, I'll need to pay if I want to access it and all that crap. That's absolutely not happening. People don't start reading new manga that way.

  • Some companies pay enterprise level prices to browsers (this could also be attributed to many free software) to have a direct line of support. They want to be able to ask "what the fuck is going on with this employee's software" and have a straight on answer; or some insight from the people that made that software. Without that support the product is the same as your typical browser.

  • My experience with my usb wifi dongle was different. It would work way faster on Windows compared to Linux for some reason until I replugged it some time and ever since it works in similar speeds. I couldnt reproduce what went wrong on the Linux one ever since.

  • The sponsor ads work when they're neatly aligned aligned with the video's concept. It wouldn't budge me to see a manufacturer sponsor a PC build video where one of their products are being used. Or channels like GradeA where they advertise the sponsors in a similar way to their vids.

    What breaks it is when you can feel the ad clearly feels like a last minute insert (which it feels like almost all the time). Even the bigger creators out there do this.

  • You can write any term you want for your software. There have been instances of people adding terms to their licensing like "You hereby accept to forfeit your soul's ownership to the creator of this software."

    Enforcing it is a different problem.

  • If I knew the reason, chances are it would show "tried to cheat death" with a very close death time. I'd better off not knowing it; because I would definetly try to cheat against it. My lack of knowledge about it will let me live longer.
