There’s absolutely zero evidence that anyone knew before he was invited. And after it was revealed, not one political figure in Canada has said something along the lines of “good people on both sides”.

As a Canadian sure it’s a guff, and the guy paid a price for his mistake and didn’t fight it, but compared to America I’ll take shit like this 8 days a week.

“Release the butt plug cut!”

I know you’re being antagonized, but I object to this statement. I used to read headlines/excepts on Reddit about “so-and-so thinks this and said that!” and then I’d go watch an unedited video of the speech, and I was like, “that’s your takeaway?” It’s always some shit like:

Interviewer “Do you think if Russia launches nukes, it will impact Medicaid?”

Interviewee: “I think if there’s nukes in the air, Medicaid will be the least of our concerns.”

News headline “POLITICAL FIGURE ISN’T CONCERNED ABOUT CUTS TO MEDICAID!”.

Well no, in my example the shirt is the image and the signature on it is the NFT bit. Physically, it’s just a bit of ink, but the shirt itself is no different than one you can go pickup at the store.

Whenever I see these Musk posts, I always marvel at how people seem to think one man builds spaceships, programs self-driving cars, pushes all the buttons on Twitter, and does all the research himself on monkeys.

Try telling that to sports memorabilia collectors though.

“Look at my hockey jersey!” “Yeah, so? I have the same one.” “Yeah but you’re wasn’t signed by Wayne Gretsky.”

Or even trading cards, or comics. Or hell, even plain w-shirts with a brand logo on it for $250. People assign arbitrary values to stuff all the time. I don’t understand it at all, but there’s a whole ton of people that just eat that shit up like it’s candy.

I had never heard of it either. I had PIA when I was on Windows, still haven’t gotten it setup on Linux though.

A dedicated KVM would be a better option but I’m not willing to spend that much money.

Honestly the worst part about a dedicated KVM, at least for a home setup, is the 30lbs of thick bulky cables.

This, the difficulty of simply paying for the things you want. I used to pirate music back in the IRC/pre-Napster days, and then iTunes came out. “I can just click a button and the song is on my computer, high quality, no fuss?” That was the end of music pirating for me.

I have Amazon Prime and I’ve tried Netflix in the past. The amount of time I spent sorting through their shit movies to find something worth watching was abysmal, not to mention no way to filter out the huge influx of low-budget non-English content.

Counter-counter point, remember when you could poke someone in the back to get their attention without going to jail for it?

I couldn’t load the video, most likely due to pihole/adblocker, but from the pictures it looked like her lower back? How high up does her ass go?

Not necessarily. If all I wanted was ‘cake’, then sure, I’d go for the free cake and the people selling cakes would lose out.

But the people who are selling cakes have to give me a reason to buy from them. It has to be a better tasting cake, it has to be delivered faster, it has to be fresher. If the people selling cakes can’t do that, then it’s their shitty business model, and not the fault of the people giving cakes away for free.

Take GIMP vs Photoshop for example. Photoshop is objectively better than GIMP, which is why people still pay for it. Now if Adobe decides to just sit on their laurels and one day GIMP improves and passes them in terms of capability, then that’s Adobe’s shitty business model, and not GIMP’s fault.

I’m using qutebrowser as my daily driver, and which it doesn’t have extentions it does have a basic adblocker. The really useful thing I found though was a greasemonkey script that just sets the playing speed of youtube adds to “Ludicris Speed”, so the creators still get paid.

While I appreciate the sentiment, isn’t that effectively the same as “if the restaurant won’t give you the complete recipe for their pizza sauce, how do you know they’re not trying to poison you?”

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

You mean the schuckster trying to make a buck using another free API after the last one booted him out? Guy’s a slimeball.

I had a mobile app for Reddit on my phone, you know when I used it last? 9 months ago when I was sitting in a waiting room waiting for an oil change. Every other time when I’m away from the computer I’m doing non-fucking-computer things.

This guy’s whole shtick was to make enough money to quit his day job, so he wrote a wrapper around someone else’s content using their free API. “Oh he did it all by himself, that’s amazing!” It’s really not, especially if you’d rather not share the subscription profits with other employees.

The FOSS alternatives? Done by guys with day jobs. They’re passion projects. I can respect that.

But you lot, who will drop to your knees the minute the guy wants to repeat his shtick now that Reddit kicked him to the curb? Zero respect at all.
