Sorry, this may be unpopular, but software license click-through agreements are enforceable.

Source: I'm not a lawyer, but worked in a software contracts office with lawyers, so some of it ruined off. Essentially your legal options are, use the software according to the license agreement, or don't use the software.

A third option would be, I guess, use open source software so you don't deal with that bullshit.

Edit: Part of it is wrapped up in the Uniform Commercial Code, which is a whole bundle of standard laws which is quite complex. Basically you pays your money, and you get a thing, but there are all sports of knobs and levers to handle every contingency. You can nope out of the transaction, but you don't get the thing.

What if I were to buy back all my own DVDs and watch them? Would I need to voluntarily show myself ads later?

I listened to Sam for a little while, but then he got stuck on Genetics & IQ back in about 2017-18.

I was like - OK, but do you account for any other differences, like poverty and affluence rates? Nope, he could only fathom the two factors: "race in, IQ out - so people of African heritage are dumb", because his expert said that, he thought it too.

Yes, but glue is the surprisingly tasty ingredient on pizza too keep your toppings from falling off.

Just be sure to use non-toxic glue, because the other kind tastes terrible.

For a grad school project last year, I proposed a Fediverse version of LinkedIn, with the ability to find and hire people for projects.

It's just in the proposition stage, but I got pretty excited about it. If allowed the opportunity, I might work on it as my capstone project early next year.

Fedilab already works as a PeerTube app. A good one!

The bastard went ahead and did it anyway, even when told no.

Out of curiosity, what did you buy?

Yeah, it seems like Musk's innovation is calling it GIGAFACTORY!

Obligatory exclamation point.
