uBlock, Revanced, and yt-dlp still 100% free lol
Content creators need to consider looking into alternative platforms though. Seems like YouTube is hellbent on self destruction.

They nailed the retro-futurism aesthetic with that window UI
Shucks… Maybe if the college didn’t rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷♂️
If the publishers win, I hope every book they publish as long as they exist gets torrented into oblivion leading authors to ditch them in favour of self publishing
Right? This dude was probably just hosting all of the content that the platforms removed over the years lol
It really just seems like it proves that the applicant is able to work in an environment where everything is already pre-installed and running with no need to learn basic troubleshooting, and that they were able to sit through a few years of focusing on specific aspects of a textbook and writing incredibly mundane programs… and quite possibly lack the ability to learn on their own and think outside of the box…
Interviews and testing seem like they would be a far better way to vet applicants
I don’t even get postsecondary for a good chunk of areas… Like computer programming, for example. Why would anybody need a degree that says “I don’t know how to read textbooks, use Google, and learn in my own”? I’m sure there are lots of degrees just like that
So glad I left the publishing industry. I went in with a lot of respect many years ago, but it was so gross. All about how much money could be milked from students. Accuracy of information was in second or third place of importance
How do I copyright myself and I every last bit of content that I create?
It’s more the fact that actual crimes can be nullified by a statute of limitations, but shit like this doesn’t seem to have any expiration date
VIMM’s Lair has been around for ages… If Nintendo really cared why didn’t they do something around, say, 2002? 🤔
Why is there no statute of limitations on this kinda bullshit?
They get it. Looks at all these “influencers” getting shit they don’t need for free all the time to spread word.
Piracy is basically the same thing, but it’s somebody getting something they do need/want and giving it honest word-of-mouth promotion
Idk if this counts but I found my home in a less popular distro, kind of.
I’d tried a few back in the early '00s. While my friends were experimenting with drugs and shit, I was experimenting with Linux distros and virtual machines lmao.
I started with Suse. I’m not too sure what made me switch or where I heard about this one from, but I eventually moved on to Mepis. It was originally rooted in Debian, then moved to Ubuntu before being discontinued.
My good friend at the time was big into Debian. I felt like pure Debian was too much for me to take on as a noob, but I wanted to be able to reach out to him for help now and again when I needed it. Switching to Mepis was pretty much a no-brainer. It was easy enough to get accustomed with. I was still mostly a Windows user, so the transition to KDE was simple. I’m old enough to remember the days of DOS so bumping around a CLI was also not that big of a deal.
The hardest parts were understanding how to install software (the concept of the repository was new to me), and the basic terminal commands. From there I was mostly good.
I remember when Mepis moved to Ubuntu, there were a lot of groans - myself included. But ironically, I’ve been a pretty much dedicated to Ubuntu for my linux stuff for ages. These days I’m running it with i3wm and I have no major complaints.
To be completely honest, though, I still don’t really fully understand the standard file layout… I get it conceptually, but then stuff gets so fragmented - binary files in usr instead of bin, how to track where installed stuff ends up, etc.
I’ll figure it out one day, when I really need to… But that time hasn’t come yet. A quick find
in the terminal always gets me what I need.
I used to like Ubuntu, but I got so sick for not being able to do things due to packages being out of date, and/or snaps getting in the way.
I ditched it for arch and I’m so much happier
