I totally give them credit for that, but Steam was also a behemoth before all of that. They’ve been massive for over a decade at this point, maybe two. Everyone that’s tried to be a competitor has come in clearly not understanding the basics of Steam’s business model.
I like supporting my creators. I don’t pirate music, because Bandcamp is a thing, and I don’t pirate video games because GoG is a thing. I also subscribe to Patreon and the like.
What I don’t like is giving my money to shitty companies that try to tell me how I am allowed to manage/retain/consume that media.
“I don’t think we should bomb children”, “I think medial-debt shouldn’t be the largest cause of bankruptcy in our country”, “People should be able to oppose genocide”, “cops shouldn’t be able to assault innocent people without consequence”
“expect perfect”
I think your definition of “perfect” might be a little off, as I think those are all fairly reasonable to ask of a candidate.
Yes, Harris would have been better than Trump, but that is a pretty low bar. She spent her time trying to get as close to that bar as she thought she could get away with.
I’ve downloaded all of the videos for a few channels. I know they will eventually get taken down, so I want to have backups ready for when that happens.
Not usually. I don’t typically look too much at the instances I’m interacting on to know if they care about reports or not.
I generally tag people who are being shitty. It’s totally fine if they disagree with me about things, or downvote me or whatever. But if they just insult others, or openly lie/mislead, or yell at others without bringing an actual argument, then they start getting tags. After enough tags, they get blocked.
The good news is, you have no tags! :)
Remember when they got mad after Trump said “I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters”? They said it was cult-like behavior by his followers.
But when Biden bombs children, or backs a genocide, it’s somehow not cult-like behavior to keep supporting him.
But it’s never enforced. I get a lot of spam from US companies that don’t have working unsubscribe mechanisms, and I report it all the time, but nothing is ever done about it.
It’s always been super spotty for me. Sometimes it doesn’t work for a few hours, sometimes for a few days. It usually ends up working again after a bit. I ended up moving to mostly using yt-dlp instead, as it’s more consistent. I don’t know of a more reliable phone-option tho :(
I use LUKS and backup to a usb-drive that I have at home. I rsync those backups to my work once a week. Not everyone can backup to their office, but as others have said, backing up to a friend/family member’s house is doable. The nice thing about rsync is that you can limit the bandwidth, so that even though it takes longer, it doesn’t saturate their internet connection.
I love it when I have a mouse. It’s terrible on modern touchpads though :(
Let me donate directly to Firefox development. Stop giving their terrible executives giant piles of money.

The unsubscribe button from audiobooksnow.com gives me a 404. I’m guessing that’s not by accident. Fuck them, never buy from them unless you want a bunch of spam
I moved to using a safety razor and it works great. You can get blades for super cheap.
Also, I don’t need shaving cream, just hot water in my shower. That doesn’t always apply to everyone though. Some people’s skin/hair are different, and they need different things to shave.
I use rsync for a similar system. One of the nice things is that you can set a bandwidth limit so that it doesn’t saturate your family’s internet connections.
I have one as well, and it’s so much fun. It’s pretty much just for my SO and me, but sometimes I have friends join. It’s super cool having GM commands and all that.
Good work, I hope you have fun with it!
