Bro this notification popped up, and for a couple of seconds I didn’t see that it was lemmy, I didn’t remember this convo, I just saw the anti-consumer corpo speak and I almost lost my shit. I was straight up furious and I hit the notification to come in here and verbally crap in your mouth.

So yeah, you should look into a career with Micockssoft 🤣

Oh it’s subscription based, ok. I have a flash drive for that. Helps me erase the OS and put a whole new one in.

Is microg an option?

Edge of Tomorrow completely tossed most of this habit to the side and at worst didn’t suffer for it, but imo was incredible because of it. One can only see The Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, NYC, etc so many times before it gets old. The Louvre? Flooded and full of aliens? That was new.

Maybe. I know several technotards who think they’ve discovered black magic because of an Ebaums World quality site where they have to watch 20 ads per shitty 720p movie and they run around telling everyone they meet about the site. These sites spring up, spread like fire, and get merkd fast af. Meanwhile torrent sites last YEARS by being a little more underground.

What they took down is an easily accessible public server that hosts content itself and is accessed by tens of thousands of technologically illiterate people via their phones - with no VPN - constantly. These folks are streaming movie after movie, 720p cam jobs, making these sites light up like the 4th of July (or like a Christmas tree, whatever reference works for you).

Just a one-liner as root, and you’re done.

So many god damn meetings could be a fucking email - or a group chat.

Or skipped.
