What service was this?
Idk how MAC spoofing helps me save on car insurance but alright
Hi, non “stuck up puritan ass” here.
It’s not a disease, it’s a disorder. They are 2 objectively different things and it’s important to distinguish between the 2, you overly hostile ass
Often typically
I think we’ve passed the point where any non-free service could compete with a free one. The short term gains of shoving ads in everyone’s face is in full force.
I do think in the future when these companies have burned through every ounce of investor money we’ll go back to paid services, but I think that’s a decade out or more. There already exists a few paid services similar to YouTube such as diet quibi Dropout, Nebula, and Floatplane (I think it’s premium), and I think those will serve as the models for future services.
They’re all rather affordable and their models are setup for people that want to follow creators (nebula and Floatplane) or for people that want to follow specific shows (dropout). They don’t advertise to you, there are no sponsor spots, and they’re always working to improve their platforms for the user. Hell, in a recent episode on dropout, the CEO admitted that their player had issues that they wanted to fix completely unprompted.
Hopefully future services will model themselves in a similar way, of not an improved formula, but again I think it’s a long way out
Any chance you can drop a link to 11 hours on the Russo-Japanese war? Didn’t even know that was a thing
I follow a few YouTubers that took off ads once they had a Patreon up, and that has to be my favorite way to do it.
So my Linux loving friend had their Debian installation nuke itself the other day. They went to boot it up and it just vanished. Completely gone. For zero discernable reason. It worked the night before without issue, it worked for months before that without issue, only to boot up and have everything missing.
All this is to say that using non Microsoft operating systems doesn’t magically make everything better. Everything in computing has issues and there’s no such thing as the perfect system.
Plus, even if Windows was perfect and fully FOSS, you and I both know you and all the other unix people would still hate it. It’s been the same circle jerk since the day unix existed.
