So far. I only have 3TB in my NAS (RAID5) at the moment. I'll see if the money I save on streaming services will pay for another array by the time I run out of storage.
First off you're gonna want to grab yourself a source port like GZDoom so you can run it on a modern PC with all the extra bells and whistles. Go grab the original DooM and DooM 2 off Steam for $10 each if you somehow don't already have them. A lot of stuff still needs access to the original .wad files.
I mean you're right, but it's so fucking exhausting to care about everything wrong in the world. Gotta pick your battles. Personally I have a semi-decent Jellyfin setup, but I'm not going to berate anyone for taking on a netflix sub if the momentary distraction helps get them thru another day in this dystopian hellworld.
DooM (1993), but mostly because of the community. Constant new levels, mods, engine updates, total conversions. Even commercial games released on the engine. It just never stops.
There have been third party Facebook clients, there used to be a few back in the day. Facebook didn't actively kill them, they just coincidentally kept changing their API in arbitrary ways without telling anyone. Eventually it just became not worth it for the devs.
Network effect. It's not the platform or the business, it's the userbase. FB is in this niche where it's kind of the only way for a lot of people to keep in touch with family. People joke about FB being full of boomers, which is kind of true, but those boomers are all somebody's parents. Twitter was always for celebs and brands, Reddit was for weird little niche communities.
It doesn't matter to them if that's how your brain, personally, works. They're playing the percentages. It's how -most people's- brains work. And they're not operating on a one-visit basis.
I like to think that I'm pretty aware of this kind of thing, but I'm also fairly sure I've walked past a product on my odyssey to acquire milk or bread and thought "oh hey I should try that.." then picked it up at a later date. If you asked me why I did that at the time I'm not sure I could have given you a straight answer.
Sure, it's annoying for you. It's annoying for me, too, because it fucking works on me.
It didn't suck as a solution when it was implemented. The buses function like small diesel trains; they don't have to deal with traffic, and can travel faster because they kinda lock in to the rails. It didn't need as much land as a freeway or cost as much as a dedicated train line because you could just retrofit old buses. Plus the advantage of being able to run a standard bus route at each end of the line, no need for connecting services.
Assuming for a second that the blood drinking bit is true, if it was an allied military doing that they'd call it a hazing and shrug it off. But since it's China its a "ritual". Wooooo, spooky!
Depends. Some older versions of zip encryption are vulnerable to a known plaintext attack. That is, if you know part of the content of one of the original files, you can recover the password. This utility might be helpful. bkcrack
So do I, but no.
