I have never heard of it although I lurk the major audio forums daily. From what I see on their site I think Reaper + free plugins will get you farther.

You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

if you do this bullshit for years with zero impact how is that a win? And why even paintings? I mean, let’s be real, not a lot of people care about art. If you want to go this route, at least throw soup at things the masses care about. But really, just don’t because no amount of attention will have any significant impact. You either give people incentive to change or you force them, anything else is not effective.

1. “Haha this is funny”
2. remember alls the shady shit that late stage capitalism brought us
3. double check it’s actually a meme

So you think a person that would turn off UAC wouldn’t just put NOPASSWD in the sudoers? I doubt that. And even if they had to enter their pwd… Wouldn’t that just be annoying for the casual user instead of increasing security? I doubt they would be like “Oh I have to enter my pwd now, that really makes me think twice about whatever I was going to do with sudo.”

Honestly I don’t think it’s that bad. I have to use sudo just as often on linux as I have to accept the elevation box on win. Win11 has some serious issues but UAC is harmless.

Fair enough but then you shouldn’t complain about the lack of confirmation (like the meme does)

Yeah maybe, but if that exact same people would use linux they would sudo or 777 everything which wouldn’t be much better security wise

It’s not like I want to defend windows, but If it needs admin permission you usually can’t start it without confirmation.

well, you call it dystopia, they call it brainstorming :P

I’m neither a systemd fan nor a hater, but in my experience not even enterprise linux distributors can get it to work correctly all the time. That tells me that maybe it is too complicated.

Isn’t that exactly the point of the meme? Internet 20 years ago was about sharing mostly. Internet today is about monetization mostly. And content quality isn’t what makes you big, it’s your ability to game/abuse the system

If they are 100% transparent in regard to where the money goes, I’m in. The problem with something like youtube premium is not that it’s unaffordable to the majority of users. It’s that at this point you have to assume that they don’t need the subscription fee to cover their costs, but to shove that money up some CEOs or shareholders asses. Yeah that’s not gonna happen unless they force me to and even then I’d think twice about if I really need that service.

I unsubscribed when they killed account sharing and planned to subscribe just for one or two months per year to binge every show I like… but I may not subscribe again for a long time now, considering that these guys take their villain role very seriously, I mean it’s really hard to not dislike them right now. They’re like the Cersei Lannister of streaming services

Either they blatantly lie about the outcome of the password crackdown or they see no issues at all to showcase how mind-bogglingly greedy they are. I think I’ve read this week they claim that subscriptions increased by 6 million worldwide. You’d think that is enough increase in revenue for a while, but no, let’s increase prices now. Weird timing imo, unless they’re testing how far they can go

No it’s not. If an ad break comes up on tv and to avoid them you go for a pee or get some snacks, no sane person would call that piracy. It’s pretty much the same with youtube, I could just leave the room while an ad plays. Adblock just automates the task of not watching the ad.

Pretty much every sports game does not involve violence and people still rage like there’s no tomorrow. I’m pretty sure people will throw slurs at you over a game of yahtzee or something, as long as it’s online and there’s a ladder/ranks

“Can’t get worse at this point, eh?” Amazon: hold my beer

You’re not wrong but on the other hand if you only have morals if it’s easy then I’d say your morals ain’t worth shit

May be worth the 3 bucks if the freevee stuff is ad free too then. Otherwise they can go f themselves.
