You and literally everyone else in the world

Yup. The first one I remember is a concert where I went to see the opener and didn't much care for the main act. While I was on the floor during the opening act, I was next to a girl who seemed similarly enthused about that band. We definitely both noticed each other fangirling over this relatively unknown opening act. Then, afterward, I bumped into her on the balcony while the main act was playing, and she's like "these guys kinda suck right? I think I'm gonna head out and get a drink at $nearby_bar". And I totally missed the hint.

Even once mobile internet was introduced, it was really expensive and many businesses didn't have a web presence that would work on mobile. It's only since maybe 2011 that someone could look up a business on their phone and be relatively confident that they'd find contact info on a mobile friendly page and not blow out their monthly data allowance in the process.

Fun fact: you get more accurate info by simply running man hier

I think the joke is just that this is psychopath behaviour

It's entirely possible to use, enjoy, and benefit from Linux while also using proprietary software. Your attitude only hurts the reputation and adoption of Linux by perpetuating the notion that you're either all-in or else you're out. Your idea of "Linux the lifestyle" is a fantasy.

This is just like that time I tried lucid dreaming

I like the Borderlands approach where clicking interact would put it in your inventory, holding interact would either equip the item if it was equippable, or else pick up all the pickups around you if it wasn't.

How is that your takeaway from this entertaining fabrication?

As tasteful as Lawrence Ollivier in Othello

 

Seriously this was very surprising. I've been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it's a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn't "true open source" but it's a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app.

I updated the YouTube backend recently and to my surprise and delight they had added support for SponsorBlock. However, when I went to enable it, it warned me "turning this on harms creators" and made me click a box before I could continue.

Bruh, you're literally an ad-blocking YouTube frontend. What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to be facilitating ad-blocking and then at the same time shame the end-user for using an extension which simply automates seeking ahead in videos. Are you seriously gonna tell me that even without Sponsorblock, if I skip ahead past the sponsored ad read in a video, that I'm "harming the creator"?
