I don't have a car because I'm a college student, but I do have a 2006 Suzuki GZ250, a small cruiser motorcycle. It's my first vehicle that I own. I absolutely love riding it, even though a Prius is faster, this feels much faster because it's a manual transmission motorcycle, and gets better mpg.
Unfortunately, I need to replace the battery soon as it seems to have some parasitic loss when not ridden for several days. I want to DIY it to save money, but I can't unscrew this impossibly tight worn screw mounting the cover to access the battery.
I think it should be a flat number of years like 20 years, giving the author plenty of time to exclusively control his IP and then afterwards they can still profit because they can still make things from the same IP and sell them to people knowing that they were the founder of the IP.
I feel like the death of the author clause gives a perverse incentive to murder the author so that their IP becomes public domain sooner.
I think the creators are free to bake in sponsored segments, but I totally agree with the rest of it. YT is treating us like lab rats and pushing tons of unwanted unnecessary stuff on us. I don't really want to reward that behavior with a monthly subscription.
This is a problem with so many monthly subscriptions: Instead of treating the continuously paying customers well to keep them in, they treat them as fat wallets that they can potentially milk more out of.
I prefer over ear headphones as they tend to sound better, don't fall off my ears every few minutes, and have better battery life. But that's just my personal preference.
I've noticed when I browse YT on Firefox with uBlock origin (usually for non-YPP channels or game OST videos I don't really want anyone profiting off of), everything grays out after a second. Currently I can click f to go full screen and remove that, but I don't think this workaround will work for long.
And the creators know how Google could pull the rug at any moment. This is why they also have sponsorships, which is a more stable revenue stream not dictated by Google's greedy whims.
Buy a supercar, and all the motorcycles I could ever want.
Go on crazy adventures like an Appalachian trail thru-hike.
All this would be less than 10% of my yearly income. The other 90% would go to charity, helping the homeless and bolstering free and open source software.
When I pay for a copy of a video game, pirating it is ethical imo. I already paid the devs for a copy of my game, so why should they care that I also play it on my phone on an emulator?
Two of the reasons why I chose a Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G (2022) over a Pixel 6a with much better other specs was that it has 256GB internal storage and that it has a MicroSDXC slot vs 128GB and no slot. This stuff matters to me.
Wait, really? I'm currently using my university account to back up some folders to OneDrive (provided by my University), and it saved my butt last November when my SSD borked out of nowhere.
I loved r/idiotsInCars and r/idiotsOnBikes, the videos would be so funny and the discussions around them were great.
