Wow I think we've found the most insecure person on lemmy

Honestly if it came with documentation I'd be willing to pay for the game server software

Yes but no, companies don't buy servers anymore typical, they use services like AWS for scalability which charge an absolute fortune.

They could even sell the server for a final income if they're greedy enough

I'm not arguing with your parenting style or saying you're doing it wrong etc etc, I agree with it in theory but I'd like to share my younger sisters story.

My mum decided she couldn't have social media until she was "old enough" to protect her, this however caused her to end up getting a secret phone and create secret social media accounts. This eventually led to her being cyber bullied by students at her school who's parents were less cautious. But because she was doing all of this secretly as her mum had said no to social media, she didn't feel like she could get the support she needed. Fortunately she had an older brother who could help her, but I couldn't go to the school for her as I'm not her guardian.

I personally after this would lean into the world of not necessarily supervised social media usage, but educating and cautioning what it means to post on social media. How it will never go away and when it's there, it's there forever.

My sister fully understands this now and is doing alot better, but ultimately the damage is done.

I fully understand the point of view of no social media until 18, I just want you to be aware of potential consequences of being strict on it.

Alright Mr snarky pants calm down, I was adding onto your comment not attacking it

But there's no need to store them in what I assume to be plain text, this is negligence

Hence the quotations ;)

I once watched a 60 minute ad because I wondered (what would a 60min ad even be about) and I can't remember

Using adblockers and paying to use YT premium aren't inherently seperate, if you feel that's a fair price and are willing to pay that (like I am) no one should call you stupid for it. But people feel that isn't a fair price (which is also fair considering the amounter of users, $1 per month per user would bring in $2bn per month for YouTube afaik).

"experienced programmers" in would have web developers fall under that umbrella, I'd guess web developers are less likely to adopt adblockers if their livelihood depends on them

Just want to say when I said "confuses the dumbasses" I wasn't referring to people like yourself, I was talking about hyper capitalists.

If you take an industry, and make it owned and run by the workers, take the NHS of the UK for example. It's paid for by taxes, therefore owned by the public, and is run by the public, that's socialism. But just paying tax alone to have more services isn't socialism. Socialism is defined by the ownership and regulation of business and service by the people.

So paying taxes for the government to pay a private company to do the work is not socialism, for example madicaid in the US.

It doesn't seem like a big difference at first but the results are massively different.

I know this is a joke but we should stop making it. It confuses the dumbasses.

Used to be able to before vanguard. When I used SolusOS as my main OS it used to run better than on windows... Apart from the client but that didn't matter too much

You can't use logic with these people, you have to give them examples, even if it sounds stupid

Who's going to provide care for you when you're retired and ill? Another pensioner?

It's worth remembering Meta (Facebook at the time) spent a lot of money making it free to use Facebook on data plans across the world.

I saw that marmite on toast in there, it's my favourite breakfast

What's batshit about it? As a society we do exactly that, we tell boys to like blue and girls to like pink.
