Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.orgto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Not enough people buying Premium, eh?1·6 months agoOh yes, it’s gotten that bad. Like, I have a streaming stick and I can’t root it yet. I tried watching a single video on vanilla, no ad-block or anything. One video had like 4 - 5 ads within the 5 minutes of length. That is fucking inexcusable.

Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.orgto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Not enough people buying Premium, eh?4·6 months agoBecause of Google going out of their way to cripple YouTube in the name of advertisers, even going as far as to cripple Firefox’s performance just for using it because their videos would sometimes stop resuming, you’d need to refresh .etc
They aren’t seeing shit from me. I will use UBlock Origin as I please.

All I see these mini-PCs as, as just personal PCs. The kind you boot up, record things on like private documents, power off and proceed to do other tasks and things on your more expensive machine that can handle the workload. Like they’re meant to be PCs you do not want people discovering or see you using, so to say.
I just have a hard time seeing mini PCs as primary devices for everyday use, especially when their upkeep is poor and temperature management is poorer.

I’d rather him die a martyr, a symbol for all to look up to. Rather Luigi than Trump.
Land of Double Standards.
Pulling an excerpt from George Carlin: “Politicians hide behind three things in this country: The Flag, The Bible and Children. No child left behind! It wasn’t long ago you were talking about giving children a headstart. Headstart, Left Behind. Someone’s losing fucking ground here.”

My father just paid off the mortgage of his home. It is his.
And he paid it for over 25 years as people like us lived in and left it. It is just unearned entitlement for any of us to come to him, demanding or expecting something he earned through hard work.
And it is something generations after his wont understand. You try being 66 years old and enduring the grind for so long to finally have something like a home to yourself. And not have a thought of reluctance of just giving it away.
It is ironic considering how much of a clutch todays generations have with their phones. Does anyone think they are the kind to give a home away when it is paid off? You tell me.

Nyxicas@kbin.melroy.orgOPto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•You need a VPN for everything when it comes to pirating.1·6 months agoVPNs are not required. Instead of egressing on your ISPs network, you’re egressing on someone else’s network. It’s kinda like paying for a second ISP so you can egress your ISP to go encrypted to your other ISP. What does it accomplish other than putting you in another law jurisdiction?
I…what?
How am I paying for another person’s ISP when I’m mooching off of their network to pirate from?
Okay, so the two examples you’ve provided about those VPN services, have nothing to do at all about piracy. One is about cyberstalking and the other was about a child abuse investigation. Those are arguably more serious than piracy in comparison.
At that point do you think you’ll get some form of compensation from the VPN provider?
The fuck are you on?
For a while whenever I took breaks from typical games and music, I’d go after software. Old software like Photoshop CS2 for example, just for nostalgia’s sake.
