  • i'd really like to. but there is ONE big problem:

    Keyboard layouts.

    seriously

    I hate having to deal with that. when I set up my laptop with ubuntu, I tried at least 3 thymes to make it work, but no matter what I tried I was just locked out of my brand-new system. it cant just be y and z being flipped, I tried that, maybe it was the french keyboard layout (which is absolutely fucked) or something else, but it just wouldnt work.

    On my mint PC I have a similar problem with the default layout having weird extra keys and I just sort of work around that, because fuck dealing with terminals again. (when logged in it works, because I can manually change it to the right one.)

    Now I do have about a TerraByte of storage encrypted, just for the... more sensitive stuff...

    While dealing with the problems I stumbled across a story of a user who had to recover their data using muscle-memory, a broken keyboard, the same model of keyboard and probably a lot of patience. good luck to that guy.

    Have you tried turning it off and on again? You may have Cancer. Heres a different issue on Windows: rtfm ...

    Get me my cat-hat, I'm going for a walk.

  • for every upload there must be a download.

    for every download there must be an upload.

    It must be symmetrical, meaning that you boasting, you being better than other people is only possible because others aren't good enough.

  • Be carefull, the ISP may be well-meaning to torrenting, however that doesnt change that technically, uploading unlicensed content is not legal in switzerland.

    As well as breaking other laws (by downloading/spreading extremist content for example) can get you in trouble still.

    *Apparently it seems that in switzerland Games for example are in a different legal category from a Movie and such and are technically also illegal to upload. Though I dont really think rhant a private person just suddenly gets into major trouble because of this.

  • As I said, its not that way for me, because my hard-drive is right there, I plug it in, move to the right folder, which is where I want it, where I know it.

    Those "oh so easy" applications are bloatware, need sign-ins, money, need crappy mobile/console interfaces, and very often still dont have what I want to watch (language, captions, resolution or even "nah, we dont have the rights to this series (anymore), because we rented them to someone else, even though we have initially created tge whole thing")

    imagine I want to make a meme or gif out of star wars, VLC or Windows Movie Editor or whatnot is just better than trying to film Neftlix.

    I will state again: for me "pirating" and locally storing content is the significantly easier option.
