jimbo, to piracy in If purchasing isn’t owning, then piracy isn’t stealing

The whole “illegal to download” bit is somewhat misleading. People almost always get in trouble for uploading, which just happens to be a part of how bittorrent works. When you’re downloading, you’re also uploading (Unless you’ve changed your settings).

I don’t recall ever having a VCR that prevented skipping ads. Maybe that was a Tivo thing?

Are you not depriving someone else of their legal right to control the distribution of copies of their work?

How much media production does piracy fund?

Is there some reason to think that running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations would have made a difference in a CPU benchmark? I’m not seeing anything obvious on the feature list for that version that would make that be the case.

So the parts of the screen that rarely ever change might be burned in…with the image of the thing that is almost always in that spot anyway…

Naw, it’s just a bullshit number. A large truck driven in poor conditions for fuel efficiency will still get 12-13mpg.

I’ve been here for like 6 months now, maybe more. Posts SEEM to be getting more engagement than when I started. It definitely doesn’t seem like there are fewer users.

Why do people make up dumb stories like this? It’s okay to just like something without spreading nonsense about the competing products.

When would it become an issue?

You ain’t never going to play all those Steam games anyway.

It’s too soon to say whether it not it was a waste of time.

watching evidence videos

You might run into some trouble with surveillance videos that require some proprietary video player to play. Not sure how often you come across those.

How does a seed box protect your anonymity?

jimbo, to fuck_cars in Yes, also Teslas

It must be nice living in a little bubble where you don’t have to think about social and political realities.
