Here is a few off the top of my mind:

Streaming services take away content all the time, license expired and goes to another service.

Streaming services do not have everything, they are actually quite limited on content.

Streaming services often remove episodes from seasons, so you don’t even get all the episodes.

Pirate streaming sites go down all the time as governments crack down.

Streaming services cost more and more and more, with less and less content.

Some media is only available on older mediums such as VHS (and never came out on dvd, streaming, etc) but pirates have archived these rare movies.

You might feel like the world is available to you online, but I have been around since the start of the internet and have seen many, many things go the way of the dodo 🦤. Things go away. Websites gone, files gone, laws change, etc. if you’re not archiving it, you may never see it again.

Firefox focus browser. Single tab browser but blocks ads. Works for YouTube.

If you look down at anything, they will say it’s a phone.

It will be used against you at every opportunity.

I know that one, once we get bored of Hytale we will check it out. So many new experiences now competing with Minecraft audience.

No Linux Minecraft bedrock got me and my wife to switch to Hytale instead. Get F’ed MicroSlop.

So I’m supposed to enjoy life when I’m making 10% the income I made 2-3 months ago? Things are fucked dude!

If that is a refrigerator then he lives in the compressor pumping Freon.

If that’s an oven, he hides behind the crisper drawer and regulates the temperature for you.

Way back when AOL was on floppies there was software called AOHELL that would generate fake name, address, and fake CC just to sign up for AOL free 40 hours.

I’m sure credit cards were always a problem. I think the first 4 or 8 numbers of the card are the issuing bank and location. Something like that. So it’s super predictable.

“Call Jenny”

GPT: calling 8675309

No, call Jenny in my contacts.

GPT: oh sorry, you don’t have Jenny contacts in your contacts.

Ugh 😩

If they used AI, then I consider they lost all credibility.

I notice all the brand name chips are $6-8 but the off brands and Walmart brands are like $2-3…

I never got that working, so happy it didn’t work because I use heroic now.

I upload to YouTube. I know it gives up a lot of my privacy and I’m sure it’s being fed Into AI… ugh. 😩

I also upload the same videos to other video sites even if they don’t get many views.

Heat shrink and melting hot glue.

Oh and when I cut ropes/strings I burn the ends.

My late intel MacBook has:

MacOS - Windows 10 - Linux

It’s RARE I use win/Mac but it’s great for that once every few months that I need to run some specific tool.

From what I have seen they call it a “rehoming fee” for their free animals…

I wonder if there is some archive or torrent for STL files, like an archive of thingiverse or something. Would be nice to archive that just in case.
