Sure bud, pirating some Microsoft Studio video games and windows ISOs right now. What? I found them on the open web!

Illegal =/= immoral

Just because I pirate, doesn’t mean I’m an asshole

If it’s built into the video I watch in mpv can’t I just skip?

Nothing says “We’re confident in the software we’re selling” like willing to work for exposure in hopes that somebody shills $20 for a subscription.

There’s a reason we use .env files and put them in gitignore.

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish there would be some trees around.

No… no… proceed, im all ears

They buy cheap android tv boxes and get the widevine decryption keys off them, then use them to web dl directly from the source

Unless you know exactly what you’re doing, you’ll have to spend a lot of money on trial and error because Google will keep nulling your widevine keys.

Cheap android tv boxes

The whataboutism doesn’t help. It’s a wrong practice regardless of nationality. But since the house and senate is bought by the corporations, at the very least ban those who you can.

It’s a scare tactic. You as a customer won’t care if the business gets a new owner but if they threaten to shut down all the kids they have will start kicking and screaming to make the government dial back the decision.

Sure, they killed CentOS a few years and then shut off their git to public access. CentOS successors such as Alma or Rocky now rely on ripping cloud images to access sources (because they still ship GPL software, so they must).

Just a recent example.

GPG has a chicken and egg problem. I have mine publicized on Ubuntu’s key server, which is likely one of the bigger ones (but iirc it is of little relevance as it syncs with other keyservers). Out of the emails I am sent only one of my contacts bothers with encryption. Which is sad, but what can you do? The web mail interfaces rarely if ever support GPG, and even if they do sharing your key with them defeats the purpose.

Arm machines that are repairable to compete with Apple would be very cool in my opinion. Maybe team up with an integrator like sys76. Could be very cool. I’d personally line up to buy.

I have 150 passwords in my password manager. I’m not buying 7 YubiKeys (and to be fair that’s not what they’re designated for)

When vaultwarden supports this I’ll play ball. If I don’t have control over my authentication methods, then they aren’t my authentication methods.

Only a 3.50€ VPS on OVH. Gets the job done. For music I just use firehawk52’s Deezer ARLs to download the music. For TV shows/movies the obvious is piracy. The whole subscription model drives me away from services.

But the G in GNU stands for GNU

I never deleted my root system with rm but I did dd go sda instead of sdb and ended up losing my data.
