A kids book owned by someone who is using the money and fame to campaign to destroy the lives of a bunch of my friends and millions of others.

You can like the book at whatever age idc, but please understand the sentiment that the author should not be getting revenue from those books because they are trying to legally define people out of existence. I’m not a fan of erasing media and, not having read the books, I have no way to be offended by their content, but I do not want Rowling profiting from their sale. Spread pirated digital copies in place of print until it ends up in public domain.

Okay but irrelevant ads is the dream. I’d prefer not to get recommendations at all either. I’ll hear from word of mouth what’s worthwhile to watch, or I’ll look for it myself. Recommendations consistently muddy things up, it makes all modern social media useless, I have no idea how people can put up with it.

I don’t know if there’s a clean way to do this right now, but I’d love to see a software project dedicated to doing this. Once a data set is poisoned it becomes very difficult to un-poison. The companies would probably implement some semi-effective but heavy-handed means of defending against it if it actually affected them, but I’m all for making them pay for that arms race.

Hey they said one of.

So that’s what they meant by “fun for the whole family”

Ah, alright that’s a fair point. Once one of those splits happened then that single life form would have become the common ancestor for all other life. I’m satisfied with that explanation.

Well it’s good to know my schooling might not be a complete waste at least

Well the job market for developers is still pretty tight at the moment. I don’t have the insight to say for sure why (though I have some guesses), but I know that for me and every junior developer I know it’s rough out there.

What if a bunch of the earliest life spontaneously formed by the millions independently in different places? Would we all really have a true single common ancestor then?

Edit: I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I believe that all life on earth came from the same “species”, being the same kind of structure spontaneously generated in the primordial soup, but that there could’ve been a number of those structures that were generated and were all identical to each other. This would mean that any of them could evolve from the same starting point in terms of “design”, but not literally be the exact same object, meaning that we could have a number of origin ancestors that were all identical, and were potentially not an exact one singular living thing.

It’ll be fine. Sharks are older than trees so we can switch to them.

It’s likely a scheme to entice people onto their platform because they’re not as trusted as valve or gog. If they become a monopoly then we’ll get to see all the various catches to that.

I rarely actually pirate anything. The only time I pirate is when I’m otherwise forced to go through that specific company to do the things I want due to monopoly shit.

Used to pirate windows before switching to Linux (I still give people I know helpful tips on the process though, not everybody can make the switch yet). Used to pirate MS office and a couple other pieces of software back when I had to use them for school. I would pirate substance painter if a Linux crack was available, but I haven’t been able to find one and I can’t get the windows version working, so I simply don’t use that software. And as for shows and movies, that whole mess of subscriptions, yeah I don’t watch pretty much any of it. I buy physical copies when possible and watch stuff with friends who have the services. I use bandcamp for most of my music, sometimes YouTube for discovering new stuff.

I will however keep up to date on all of the piracy methods because i will not be caught helpless by some shitty company who thinks it’s found a way to corner me.

I wouldn’t complain if we brought back þe thorn.

Idk if you can even get a 32 GB hard drive anymore. I can only find 64 GB drives for around $14

But they don’t have to reach the ground or get in your way, and you can make them light and breathable but also repel water and protect you from the wind, but you can also open them up and move them out of your way by wearing them as a sort of cape which also lets the breeze in… They also look neat. I like cloaks.

Ooh, do you know of any good ones? I wanna download a car!

And then we all flush at the same time too and the entire school gets launched into the air.

It’s a real shame then that I’m a complete idiot.
