To be honest, books are the only form of media I don’t pirate. They deserve my money. Sucks that I have to use big shops to get them digital, but it’s so easy…

After some more thinking, I guess the original piracy has to come from somewhere :)

Genuine question : why not just download a pirated version of the book then? Seems like a huge hassle for the same end result

Being overly Paranoia? Can’t think of another valid reason.

Lol, OK. Yeah. Didn’t think about caveats. :D

Ah, fair enough. So that’s similar to “infinite universes of infinite possibilities, except light can never go faster than 300.000 km/sec”?

In an infinite list of letters, every single book ever written, every word ever spoken (and to be written/spoken) should be present no?

I guess the only caveat is that in an infinite universe certain physical laws could be universal (which would prevent eg any universe to break the speed of light)? But some version of me having hair past my 30s should certainly exist no?

Or am I getting this completely wrong?

Don’t want to get into a whole argument, But ltt suggested to stop throwing dirt. GN turned around and just continued slinging dirt. Just feels weird to me.

A whole lot of shit slinging at LTT for no real reason. At when LTT rebuked the claims and suggested to stop doing so and work together in the future, GN just decided to double down and continue.

A bunch of childish stupid drama tbh, but very one-sided.

To be honest, GN is not worth your viewing time anymore. He’s just trying to stir drama on tech YouTube for the sake of starting drama…

He got multiple olive branches offered to stop the drama and he just threw them on top of the fire. He’s being a manchild for no reason.

Cheers. Rom hacks are like indie gaming lite. Some of them are great fun.

I use a seedbox abroad and secure ssh to transfer stuff to my own server. Don’t see what additional security a vpn would give me.

Or native gestures in Firefox. Either would be perfect.

Is there a single good article on Forbes? It’s always fucking clickbait without actual content.

Yeah, as long as Firefox (or a fork) doesn’t have native gestures, I can’t fulltime swap to it. Gestures addons are not the same. Anyone that used vivaldi (or opera) for any serious length of time knows what I mean.

I work for a large eu government agency. Why the hell they still insist that we promote our workings on Twitter completely eludes me. It does not make any sense whatsoever. They should get off and stop promoting that cesspool. Go to any of the myriad of competitors or just go back to Facebook and Instagram…

Fair enough. I’m raising my kids in a similar fashion. I dislike the sexual repression in the west (from which I unconsciously still suffer). But I’m still worried about other boys :)

Until your daughter comes home with a boyfriend with a fucked up sense of what sex is and ruins her day/week/month/year/life.

I’m certainly not pro government tracking anything I do, let alone porn watching, but if I see how my own kids get exposed to it through friends. No matter how much I try to educate them, friends still show them absolute vile stuff…

Been using it for close to 10 years. Never had a single serious issue with it. Apps break now and then. A simple reboot of the server or the app fixes it every single time.

A lot of public torrents download and seed at insane speeds. Like “must be in the same building or even the same disk” speeds.

Haven’t seen a queue in ages tbh. Weak argument, not to mention that it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever
