Dude, what you speak of is just plain silliness. Do you not understand that in the realm of pirating, you take risks just for simply downloading in what the laws say is 'illegal'?

There is no such thing as 'safe' when it comes to downloading except getting a clue or a suspicion about what you're downloading and where it's from.

Again, it is common sense. Pirating is all about risk and reward. Risk, whether you infect your machine or get penalized by your ISP or get fined/jailed for your piracy. Reward, the files you acquire that aren't a blip on the radar of your ISP and doesn't contain malware or viruses.

Common Sense. That's not a joke.

It's Google. Of course not.

Nah, you'll fucking update me anyways whether I want to or not, MIcrosoft.

Let me know when the last time it was, that a petition did anything important on the grand scheme of things. I'll wait.

I think the bigger issue with the entirety of Linux as a whole is, getting everyone on the same page to make a distro that everyone can use and not be intimidated by. There's a distro for everyone, but there are still obstacles in some distros that people are going to run into, that'll make them turn back to Windows.

Whether it can't run a game they played, run a piece of software natively, driver support and maybe even features they thought were best suited on Windows than Linux.

I didn't see where it stated what kind of older, unsupported hardware Windows 11 would feasibly be installed on. Like what, 5 years before it's release? Even then, why would anyone have Windows 11 on computers 10+ years old?

Ubuntu has gotten fairly pretentious in it's nature. I remembered it being like one of the best distros to use. I've fallen off from Ubuntu since 11.10 though.

Musicians need to write songs about how bad the recording industry is. Make a single. Bite the hand that feeds because that same hand is also slapping you.

 

When you're in a call and you want to talk to someone or a couple people, but you're in a group with someone you don't particularly care for. So you have to sit there and listen to them overtalk and maybe you don't even like their voice. But you can't mute them or be rude so you have to waste time until they finally leave.

 

I don't miss dial-up internet, I just don't. I don't even like the sound because it's just digital screeches and it's a sound that makes me cringe a little upon hearing it. Because I remember the times when I'd be listening to music with headphones with volume high and then that fucking digital screech just blares into my ears.

I don't miss waiting 30 minutes to load a page. I don't miss a bit of it.

 

Mine is - DO NOT go to the building you work at. Like if you're a retail worker, it is not wise to go to the store you work at or the restaurant. Because they see you come in shopping for whatever reason, they'll possibly be on your ass about you being able to come in and shop but not work that day.

 

Like X is the worst year for books or Y is the worst year for games .etc

 

Notepad++ - This piece of software is a very advanced form of Notepad. Fuck that basic Notepad shit that Windows or any other OS gives you. This one is all you'll ever need for basic note-taking needs. But it does a hell of a lot more. One thing I love about it is that, if for any reason I put my PC to sleep, it crashes, power outage, I can run this again and everything I've ever written and no matter how many tabs - it's all retained.

AIMP - The definitive media player that you'll ever need for just playing stuff (music only, sorry if I mislead those thinking it can do video). Winamp and all the other software are just around for nostalgia (though Winamp has it's uses where you need it to play specific formats like video game music such as SNES with .SPC). One feature that attracted me to it was, it used to infuriate me when I am playing something and something crashes in any other media player. And you boot up that media player and you have to play your playlist all over again or that song from the beginning.

Not AIMP, if I accidentally close it, crash or whatever, I can bring it back up and it'll have the song or whatever on Pause so I can resume. Why isn't shit like this more implemented in software?

 

My pick is Psyonix, the team behind the one and only Rocket League.

And why they're my pick is because they've been prioritizing elitist gamers over generally everyone of all skill levels. This is evident when you are penalized for leaving matches in Casual Mode that escalates from 5 minutes to even hours. Basically limiting and restricting your playtime on a game people had once paid for.

And I say once paid for because this game once had a price tag along with DLCs. Sometime a few years ago, Psyonix sold itself to Epic Games and flipped Rocket League to Free-to-Play or Freemium. They delisted the game from Steam and unless you had been accumulating anything before the delisting, you are SOL.

In the Epic Games version of Rocket League, you have to build back up everything that was once readily available when it was on Steam. Having to pick up common body parts, having to pick up decals, flags, wheels .etc

All of these are just one continual dump after another from Psyonix on the fans that truly are there to have a fun time and not be a foaming drooling tryhard of an elitist player.
