It pleases me when I use a service at a low price tier with the knowledge my usage is being subsidized by those willing to pay more for features I deem unnecessary.

It stinks when the basic tier just doesn’t cut it. But overall I’d probably rather have power users subsidize things.

So there is a huge community, a lot of people on this planet who are not able to play their favorite video games, because they are not willing to pay for them […]

Why are dirty Burundi pirates not willing to save up their eighty-eight cent per day wages to play their favorite games? 😠

Hondurans are making ten times that. Some of them still aren’t willing to pay? I could vomit.

Sounds like what well-meaning parents might ask a game store employee about buying their kid for Christmas

omg they WHAT

Great to know, wouldn’t wanna be associated with someone who seems to specialize in far-right businesses.

Interesting, had to check and see: 4chan is registered with Cloudflare.

A part of me would rather these baby Hitlers operating in the open in case it’s harder for the FBI to follow them around the dark web. Downside is clearnet makes it easier for low-braincell nazis to communicate. Woulda thought we’d have socially stomped out extremism by now so doing it technologically wouldn’t be necessary…

Alas.

Hopefully it’s not a common last name + a first name that suddenly became popular, could imagine it getting scooped by someone else.

Established in 1997, Vimm’s Lair has been a popular place for folks to download classic video games that originated on a wide array of platforms, including N64, Sega Saturn, PlayStation 1, and Atari 260. Many of these games can’t be bought in stores or found in digital marketplaces, making Vimm’s Lair a useful place for those looking to check out pieces of video game history. However, Apple’s recent decision to allow emulators on the App Store has seen a massive influx of people looking for classic roms, and it seems all this attention has put Vimm’s Lair in lawyers’ spotlights.

Society’s mechanisms are far too slow and lack the precision to deal with Mark Zuckerberg — a man that acts with a lack of morality that I find putrid — and the complex machine he’s used to torture humans for profit and power. And as I’ve mentioned before, Mark Zuckerberg can never be fired. We’re stuck with him forever. He can — and will — run this company into the ground.

While Elon musk is a greedy and churlish executive, and a disgusting, shameful man, Mark Zuckerberg is something entirely different. He is far from stupid, and unlike Musk seemingly feels no compulsion for anyone to like him. He craves numerical dominance, at any cost. He must force human beings to use Facebook, and once they are there, he must make them move in the way wishes and do the things he wishes all so that he can see the number go up.

Thanks :)

👏

I recognize there’s a likelihood you are usually being paid for answers like that. Thank you for satisfying my curiosity for free :)

Too young.

David Charles Hahn (October 30, 1976 – September 27, 2016), sometimes called the “Radioactive Boy Scout” and the “Nuclear Boy Scout” was an American nuclear radiation enthusiast who built a homemade neutron source at the age of seventeen.

Sad read, poor guy.

Never thought I’d read someone:

attained Eagle Scout rank shortly after his lab was dismantled.

Do you think it’s possible for old decommissioned drives to be donated in a compliant manner?

Reference for others:

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard to manage information security. … It details requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) – the aim of which is to help organizations make the information assets they hold more secure. Organizations that meet the standard’s requirements can choose to be certified by an accredited certification body following successful completion of an audit.

Chromecast, a used crappy version, is $50+ after taxes it looks like, then Roku seems to be even more

That said a lil media center PC (maybe Raspberry Pi) or an Apple TV - both more than $20 once properly loaded, even used I imagine - is probably much less enshittified (spy-y & ad-y).

200 sh.itjust.works users voted not to federate with Threads. Far fewer in favor.

Man, censoring words as a platform is such an advertiser-suck-up strategy that it’s wild an instance in the fediverse would even consider it. Really rubs me the wrong way!

🙅‍♂️
