  • Piracy from the big guy who’s exploiting little guys to make and sell products is fair.

    Pirating things off the little guy, who’s barely making a living is how the little guys stop making content on their own, and will instead opt to work for the big guy who can guarantee a livelihood, no matter how small. If you think you as a society isn’t contributing to it then just look around.

    And It is only getting worse. While you can fantasize about it, indie-anything who get lucky are exceedingly rare for a reason. But you won’t stop removed about how everything from the Big Bad has gone to shit. It couldn’t totally be because everyone thinks they’re entitled to others hard work, because they paid for “the internet”.

    But as always, entitled pricks are how we end up on ever more convulsive state of the world, no matter which side you’re on. So carry on, ig.







  • my $100 Walmart tablet lasts all week with light usage, I doubt this could compare

    probably not in a first release, but Android is convulted piece of shit compared to linux desktop environments. Not to mention Google’s and/or OEMs built-in system apps running 24/7 guzzling all your data in the background.

    In time, I guess it would beat out in performance and efficiency but lose in the availability of applications, same as desktop linux.




  • Right on time for the US government to lead their populace on an boogeyman hunt season by blaming anything inconvenient on an enemy state. without any evidence whatsoever… I might add.

    • unrest? Russian misinformation
    • online? Chinese bots
    • stop funding genocide? hamas opeatives
    • any criticism? people that want Trump elected

    And the funny thing is everyone there eats it up like good little tools they are. But argue, US companies are not under government fingers like China and Russia. No sir, and when it’s found that they’re doing the government’s dirty work time and again behind closed doors.

    “They’re conveniently just following the law, what do you expect them to do?”




  • Olympics does indirectly contribute to society. Countries who want pole positions invest more in sports programs, school participation for sport grows. generally more competition events are organized for picking the best players to represent. There are more sport facilities for athletes to train. Those facilities employ all kind of employees to operate.

    And most people love sports afaik. That’s contribution in itself.

    The olympic committee however rakes in all the profit off of the name, just like FIFA World Cup.

    So, I do have more respect for olympic athletes than football players. Most top football players are full of themselves and will suck a dictators dick to rake in more money.
