Yes, but with “fixing” the structure, you have robbed it of colloquialism. Maybe it’s just me projecting.

I lived among non-native speakers for the longest time, and shaped my English using my knowledge of other languages to bridge some gaps in communication. Now I’m back to a native environment and catch myself slipping up with my invented phrases.

The thing is, I can’t find another combination of words to convey the exact sentiment so succintly, even though I’m not sure it’s gramatically correct.

Man, English is so wacky. After reading that post twice the structure fell apart in my mind, and I’m a native speaker. Hats off to anyone who picked up the language along the way.

Are malicious audio files a thing? Is it pervasive on soulseek? Would it be OS agnostic? I was under the impression, that the only way to get malware is disregarding security popups when installing shady stuff from cnet.

I don’t know how to code, but have been my own admin for quite some time. Having malware in containers besides .exe files gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Did you miss out on Katamari Damacy or just forgot to list it?

Yeah, everything is a remix. I think it all boils down to preferences on copyright and corpos as entities.

It’s easier for me to accept that an inventor gets a 30+ year copyright (or lifelong for that matter) in our current societal setup. I even understand how most things today are a collaboration, so we need bigger entities to hold such copyrights. And this is the point where I personally start seeing the problems.

I feel if we keep this up, art will move towards a l’art pour l’art phase. Mass media will turn into something personally tuned and we’ll be charged a premium for something that was touched by human inspiration. Don’t know if I helped or digressed too much, but these are my worries in the vacuum.

both corporations and consumers have shown

I don’t think this a preference question. More like something intrinsic to a society based on market.

I’m kinda partial to Rage Against Vanessa Carlton.

Like when you set up 10 pins for someone else to knock down with a ball and it’s pretty symmetric?

Sure, a good game is a good game, but the title makes it look like an edgy maffioso game, like schedule 1.

This feels super click-baity. According to the comments it’s not money laundering related, but an actual laundary service for soiled currency.

It’s kinda funny as how it’s first like: Windows, Apple and Linux are your choices for home. If you choose the right one, you realize it was not a destination, merely a gateway to a plethora of systems, many fine-tuned for the nichest of needs.

My new hobby is complaining about my trials on Linux to those winfriends who I think will switch in the foreseeable future. My rational is that sharing my happiness comes off as gloating and as soon as they show an inkling of willingness, I’ll just point to what I said and tell them that’s the type of shit you deal with and can maybe find listening ears for the benefits at that point.

Because I am in a safe space: FOSS is the closest thing I find to actual love that I can get from a non-living interaction. Contrasted in the harsh light of freemium every keystroke for the commons is sacred.

Is this some kinda Brave browser integration? Newpipe hasn’t served me up any ads yet, so you got me wondering what your version does.

I really dig your stance, support developers where you can. How do you feel about TV shows though? Does the knowledge that most shows use product placement (baked in ads) alleviate entitlement in this case?

I will copyright some schematics so everyone can enjoy the thrill of piracy to really drive the point home.

They’re just slow to realize.

Exactomundo! Choosing the dialogue, choosing the spin, it’s one the major spheres of control.

My ‘breakthrough’ moment was during Covid. Just looking at all the news (from sites I deemed ‘my side’) without any real information, but loaded with emotional phrasing made me realize that I am being used. I love that we have multiple options for news, don’t get me wrong, but I felt betrayed.

Since then, I mostly read comments or watch the video of the event the media is spinning. Comments are pretty awesome, cuz real people help digest (or misinterpret) the harsh tone of the outside world.

Stuff’s happening really quick. Orbán is trying to leave the ICC (proclaimed at the press conference with Netanyahu). We suspect it’s in preparation to host Putin soon.

In these interesting times I urge people against blanket hatred, or any hatred at all. We are all being pumped up emotionally, and it is hard to understand what’s going on if you are blinded by (the justified) rage you’re experiencing. Even having feelings towards Orbán, Putin or Netanyahu helps the media shape you, as when they get that dog whistle in place, we are prone to accept opinion as fact.

Most of us are doing the best we can, and in the rarest of cases (maybe not in politics) do we find actual bad actors instead of misled.

Times can be scary, but if we connect ourselves emotionally to the feed, it only becomes worse.

Do you have any experience with Njalla? This would be my first time purchasing a VPN and I couldn’t imagine a better provider on paper.

I just don’t know anything practical about it besides it’s founded by a member of the swedish pirate party.

That’s a tough joke.

Super easy fix. Go Gecko!
