At this point installing win11 is a bug that can be easily fixed by installing anything from Linux to BSD to even something as incomplete and not meant for use as a daily driver as AROS at this point.

Fighting piracy is like a caveman with a pointy stick trying to fight a 3 headed hydra from Greek mythology. The only way for them to truly defeat the hydra is an idea they would never accept because they aren’t allowed to treat customers/consumers as people.

If my desktop didn’t get disconnected every night due to router restart and I wasn’t worried about my VPN killswitch deciding to activate, I wouldn’t mind doing a little bit of seeding of some old stuff.

If possible, please use legal paid services.

I’ll start using them when streaming devices start treating us like actual humans. In other words, piracy is always gonna be the #1 option.

Same. Middle of spring quarter at college and I decided what better way to spend financial aid then buying a portable gaming console?

If he’s anything like Justin Case, I wouldn’t trust him.

Gotta love how some people alive today cannot comprehend the fact humans have been able to build large structures long before we had things like crains and electricity.

I imagine they are the same people who look at something like a castle in the UK built in the 12th century or the great wall of China and assume that it was impossible for humans to have built them because they believe humans were too dumb (ironically) to have figured out how to lift rocks using any other method than crains.

Doesn’t matter where you are in the world, vote if you can. I’m lucky enough to be in an area of the US where we get mail ballots, so the worst I have to deal with are right wingers complaining mail in ballots lead to fraud and then doing it themselves by dumping mail.

With just shows in general, I have a fair amount. Don’t know the exact amount of cartoons, but I got a 1TB external drive almost full of them, a single live actions show from the 90s, a single live action movie, a few animated films, and a whole comic set. As for games, I don’t count by size, nor do I know how many since they’re not stored on a drive. I specifically got a 2TB external drive (both drives Seagate) for if I ever find more shows/whatever I wanna collect, but I have yet to find something I desperately want.

That, and I still need to use it to back up files so I can switch operating systems on my desktop.

Edit:

No idea how much music I’ve downloaded from yt using things like NewPipe, but I got a good amount. I’d assume this counts as piracy too, since I’m certain the people in charge of the music industry don’t like you being able to do that.

That whole SubGenius thing sounds crazy and I love it.

The bullets I’ve been dodging are small things. Mormon missionaries coming over trying to get young blood to join them. I’ve gotten better at saying no and politely lying about not having time for them. Saves me a lot of headache.

All the few shows/movies on my hard drive I end up watching when I get around to it and feel like watching. Though, recently, there have been 3 specific cartoons I’ve been watching a lot more of due to not feeling like watching other shows.

So far, the only things I have got that were bad quality and unwatchable were 2 cartoons. One you could easily tell it was upscaled and just looked a bit off, making it feel uncomfortable for me to watch and enjoy. The other, first episode in and they cut the theme song and had the channel watermark, for a show that’s a few decades, so I didn’t bother checking the other episodes and just deleted it. With the first show, I looked immediately because there was a specific episode I needed to check, but the other, it took me over a half a year to finally check to see how good quality it is/was.

So many ideas popping into my head, but no I wouldn’t because I like my body as is. Even with all the defects, I’m still proud of my fat ass.

Easily hackable? Might have to look into that in the future, so long as we aren’t talking hardware modifications.

Edit: looks like something I’d try in the future if I ever end up with a spare PS2 because I don’t trust myself not to brick my current PS2 somehow, despite the instructions I found being real easy to follow.

By play time on console, xbox360. Also due to it being my console of choice for controller scheme and playing Borderlands, Hitman: Blood Money/Absolution, and a few other things.

Close second right now is probably gonna have to be PS2 since I got one sitting on my desk, I have a.physical copy of the final Ratchet & Clank PS2 title I need to have played every PS2 title in the series (Deadlocked), and it allows me to play Devil Dice since I don’t have a PSx.

I pretty much only do it on my phone, pretty much the only place I watch videos. So I just use either Newpipe or Pipepipe, a Newpipe fork.

I don’t care what quality the things I’m downloading are so long as the file size is small enough. There are very few acceptions to that rule. Biggest one is if someone tried to edit shows using AI to enhance them by upping the resolution. Had one series I was so looking forward to watching after a long time torrenting that I had to delete because you could easily tell an AI (or someone who doesn’t have a clue what they’re doing) tried enhancing the resolution and made it unwatchable for me.

Edit: Damn, reread and I wish I could get 5mbps in the apartment complex I’m in! I’d be lucky if my download speeds spiked to 1mbps. All this with what is supposed to be the best ISP in the area, which is also an absolutely shitty company (xfinity).

That’s a theory I can actually agree with. Sounds plausible enough to be true, given what we know about large corpos.

I know I’ve seen that on 1337x and was absolutely disappointed. Don’t remember what I was looking for, but definitely a shame.

It’s absolutely amazing how we went from the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer in the beginning of computers to everyone knowing how to do at least the bare minimum on a computer in the 2000s to now circling back to the majority of people not knowing how to use a computer because pretty much everything they do can and probably is done on a phone. It’s also real scary to think since I’d assume most of us Gen Z-ers aren’t properly able to object to privacy eroding tech bills because we’re too tech illiterate to understand the impacts.
