From Limewire to QBitorrent, I've been sailing since I've had a computer.
It's crazy that people aren't aware of the alternatives out there, when all it takes is a little googling. But I guess that's just a sign that the likes of Netflix and Spotify have a stranglehold on mainstream consumers though

Guess what!
There's a whole generation of old men about to pass away, most of them tradesmen. And in my experience, crotchety and unwilling to teach.

Because this generation generally has less interest in trades, likely from being viewed down upon (see above), there is going to be a severe shortage of people working in the trades.

This will possibly mean two things:
Companies are going to scramble desperately to get new apprentices, so -good news- more jobs. But, expect a startling lack of quality in the years to come.

No one properly optimizes games anymore. Devs used to have to work with extreme limitations, and make the absolute best of what little they had.

Now with tech advancing quicker than people can keep up with and get accustomed to, and megacorporations like Microsoft prioritizing deadlines rather than overall quality (or the mental health of their developers), that doesn't really happen any more.

Was it because... It was a steaming plate of nothing? Hilarious that Bethesda used to be the gold standard for gaming, but they're still stuck in 2011

....yea, I'm not adding "C"RPG to my vocabulary, literally any one would be able to deduce what I mean just by the topic.

And the most infuriating part is, they really fucking think that their lobbying isn't blatantly obvious

Lol, living up to the Normal Boots standard

You unfortunately can't teach something like this to someone who doesn't even understand the consequences of it. Or care. Leading a horse to water n all that.

The setting up of servers and understanding the fediverse will prevent most artists from participating in this, I feel...
I'd love for this to take off though, I'm fucking pissed that Epic ruined Bandcamp.

I wonder what the Normal Boots reunions look like.
They all seem to be trying to out-do each other in trying to be a complete fuckwit

The Fedi-Files

*Maybe don't go with that one, it sounds like a show Chris Hansen would host

If it's such a small fraction, why is it so impossible to use it for other means?

Name one country with a bigger military budget

At the most, they'll just get a million dollar fine. Maybe.
90% of their users don't care about/understand privacy.

"Why would I care? I've got nothing to hide."
You're right, you don't.
Not anymore.

Investing in making people die over-seas, rather than the wellbeing of their own population that essentially pays their wage...
Yea, anyone would find that blatantly suspicious. Their goals are perfectly clear.

But people have drank so much USA Koolaid that they cant possibly imagine a country running any differently.

Whew, watch out, I mentioned the same kind of sentiment on a post about the billions of dollars that America is sending for the war, and got lectured on "that's not how government budgeting works and you know it blah blah blah"

I knewn it all along

What good babies 🥹

No no no, you gotta NUKE it, man
