It’s not the shire that worries me, it’s where the fuck the rces in Worcester is going…

Something like Woostuhshuh, apparently, for some reason. 🤨

Fucking bones. Inside my body. Everywhere. And my brain is trapped inside one of them. Fuck. 😖

But you still have to take steps to do it or your hand will never get better.

As someone else said in another comment a broken foot might be a better metaphor. Or a leg. Two legs even.

You’re telling people with broken feet and legs to just walk to the doctor.

No, it was democracy manifest.

Or use NewPipe if you don’t need to sync with your Google account.

Would have to be quite a small puppy, though.

Well, that’s good, we wouldn’t want Pythagoras to get hurt.

That’s their end goal: no choice whatsoever, you watch 30 minutes of ads, followed by the 30 second video the algorithm wants you to watch (which is also an ad), 30 more minutes of ads, and so on.

And, since they also own chrome, you can’t go to any other page without first spending at least six hours watching youtube.

Have you met people…?

That’s tragic, LG monitors used to be great.

But it’s trivial to torrent their content at whatever resolution I want…

Tighten’t.

“Does it have denuvo (or any other form of malware, including microtransactions)” should be the first question.

If the answer is yes, never look at it again, and permanently blacklist both developer and publisher.

If the answer is no, then go on with the rest of the diagram.

In my case they’re facing a 100% revenue reduction regardless of when (or whether) it’s cracked.

I’m never going to buy denuvo infested malware, and developers and publishers who try to pull this shit go straight into the blacklist.

I miss the pancakes.

Personally I prefer to taste the pancakes rather than just smelling them, but I guess I’ll take it.

I use a 13 year old PC because a newer one will be infected with Windows 11. (The company refuses to migrate to Linux because some of the software they use isn’t compatible.)

And I’m saying that I could have been that developer if I were twenty years younger.

They’re not bad developers, they just haven’t yet been hurt enough to develop protective mechanisms against scams like these.

They are not the problem. The scammers selling the LLM’s as something they’re not are.
