Why all the downvotes? If you don't like him you don't like him. Is he contraversial or something? Do people find him that annoying? At least he's not a sellout like AVGN, although I feel really bad for what happened to his content.
I should have phrased that better. I agree copy and pasting commands off of the internet is a terrible idea. Be they from ai or from a forum or wiki. By 'try' I meant look into. As in explore that path. To you and I 'try' means something different than a new user. I will be more careful in the future
We spend so much time and effort trying to disuade the people with "negative behavior" who we have discarded from our "civil society"
Where I live the grocery stores have carts whose wheels lock if you try to take them too far from the store. As if anyone trying to do that would know until they couldn't push them anymore. Thing is the store doesn't unlock them. Somehow they make it back and then they end up to front carts. People will try to use them until they realize they can't be moved. Some do get unlock, but the wheels aren't round anymore. People dragged them flattening out part of the wheel. If there are no other carts, which happens often because there are so many with locked wheels, you get to click and clack through the store with everyone looking at you like you are some kind of asshole.
There are literally hundreds of cameras. Including ones raised high on trailers in the parking lot. The same pole has blinking blue lights to simulate a police cruiser and a loud speaker reminding you the parking lot is being monitored. Back in the store as you walk in there is an electric gate and a camera and monitor. On which is writing which also reminds you you are being monitored. You have to wait to let them get a picture of you before the gate will open.
But the best of all of this. After you finish checking out your groceries as if you work there, you have to keep your reciept handy before your cart is checked by armed guards. Body armor. A gun. Not the police (as if that would make it better, but at least their job is to "protect and serve" the public) As you walk up they are usually shooting the shit with each other, and they maintain that pleasantness while they check your receipt (as if they actually are). You are at complete ease until you realize you went through a security checkpoint with a riot squad.
All of this. All. Of. This. Because our society sees it as acceptable to punish the entire public for lack of empathy for those who need it most and to prevent petty crime.
It's worse than that. Amtrak gets government subsidies. Conservatives take that to be Communism, so even the "capitalist" solution, the only train we have, is constantly under threat.
What does it mean in practice for windows 10 to reach end of life? There are no more security updates? My vm will stop working? They are preventing you from using your computer?
I've been rocking it on a fairphone 4 for 3-4 years. I pretty heavily modified it to get it where I wanted, but I enjoy doing that kind of thing. App lounge is slow, but I don't use any proprietary aps so F Droid and Obtainium gets me everything I need.
I've had Shelter in the background for proprietary apps. Traveling in particular.
Intent and result matter. If the goal is to provide broader perspective and that is accomplished even to a minimal degree, perhaps neither is the idiot. The idiot is the onlooker trying to decide who's who
I feel you. That's why I put "pirate" in quotes. My thing is if it's meant to be bulk downloaded, it would be set up that way. I don't take that stance with movies, games, etc. It's something that just doesn't feel good with me. Probably having my exams posted on chegg 🤣
Exploitation is hard work
