You present the worst ideas possible but attach them to Approved Brand and a leading blurb and people will immediately regard your racism science with sincerity. Really demonstrates how these monstrously bad ideas got wind in the first place.
Absolutely, I just know lots of people are acclimated to cloud services and don’t see building their own library as worthwhile vs just getting it online. You can totally have best of both worlds.
It honestly takes very minimal effort to maintain a digital library for yourself. Swipe up an old office computer from a business auction for less than $50, install linux and start running that as a server from home. Store your media and books on it, set up remote access so you can stream it to yourself from any device. You can functionally replace streaming services for your media needs this way. It has the added benefit of being slightly more material than any cloud services you could access.
If you’re new to this stuff, you can also should pick up a <$100 laptop and slap a user-friendly linux distro on it, and try daily driving linux as well as maintaining your server. Even the oldest, crustiest laptop runs Linux fine. You’ll pick up so many great tech skills doing this and you can still keep a windows daily driver for work or whatever.
These sweaters are giving me the urge to consoom.

I can’t wait to enjoy this change in 4-5 years when I pick up Battlefield 6 for $1.50 on a Steam sale.
They should fully integrate touch screen and controller based navigation for the steam deck. Its wild how the store doesn’t work that well on their hardware.
If you don’t mind paying, Kagi’s the gold standard imo. Been using it for years. The pricing has been pretty garbo at times but they’ve settled on a good model now. Used it extensively for research back when I was a freelance writer and it’s stuck around as my general-use search engine. It’s great for research, functionally really well designed.
Westerner’s depending on Amazon is such a simulacrum of where their country stands in the world. Reaping benefits from something you know is wrong and directly hurting someone. Only, while understanding the modern geopolitical landscape is complicated and takes determination/education, understanding that Amazon’s business model is untenable against humane working conditions is obvious on the face of it. You can see it when you drive past their warehouses.
So while I almost never hold people personally responsible for consumption habits, I find it extremely grating that Amazon is so successful specifically because people can’t say no to same-day delivery. Like, fuck, go down to the shops. Do you even need plastic junk delivered to your door today? Most people could benefit from leaving their homes more.
One great benefit of the stop killing games initiative is the spotlight being put onto EULA’s. we all knew this is the wild shit EULA’s tried to dictate for years now, but now we have media actually reporting on it. even if SKG goes nowhere, at least we’ve had a revival of this massive consumer issue.

russia is the no-no country for doing bad things, like starting pointless wars and terrorizing a civilian population. so you can’t support them. you’ll have to find other alternatives to your services that support bad countries doing bad things.
I hope my kids don’t grow up to murder me over unhinged conspiracy crap.
UberEats but for national defense. If you tip below the threshold they either don’t come or spit in your ammo.
hey man, you have your spaces.
Yes, kill the beloved man, a meme figure of himself, a genuine inspiration to some. I don’t believe state-backed executions of dissidents has ever lead to any notable events.
America would probably launch a land invasion of Australia before they ever let Pine Gap go. Previous attempts were met with harsh penalties from the US.
YouTube really recently stepped up their efforts to detect and circumvent adblockers. Before last year, there was no such thing as an adblock error message. Now, anything but uBlock will likely trigger it.
Part of this is Google’s step to gain more control over the browser ecosystem and lock down the ability to even use adblockers.
I think it’s both a matter of these solutions not being sufficiently problematic, while also being unfeasible to actually fix.
