KDE these days is better at being Windows than Windows. Dunno how long it’s been since you’ve used it (or how much/little you tinkered with it)

Seems like you might be the one who needs to get out of the house…

The nobel prize comitte has since long abandoned Nobel’s will in this matter

How long? Wouldn’t this just kind of suggest that criteria is simply different at this point? Maybe complex electronic devices didn’t exist back then, so one can really only guess as to what he would think. Because he’s been dead for a very long time…

The prize is named after the dude, he doesn’t get to decide the rules of its award in perpetuity.

Another symptom of extremely silo’d educations. As someone in a STEM field who took a couple years extra to graduate because they didn’t declare a major for two years, I see this shit constantly. Clearly, very intelligent people who have been once again let down by our education system, but this time at the University level.

To the point where I will probably get downvotes and angry replies about how learning that other stuff is useless. But I can tell you that it’s absolutely not. I’m an engineer, and “Logic and Language” is still, by far, the most important course I’ve ever taken…

The person is literally talking about their real life job… Maybe it’s a foreign concept to you, but I’m not sure you can get more “grass touch” than that, bud.

Just use mullvad. Pay for it with Monero if you’re super paranoid.

Private trackers are no more “secure” than public aside from the barriers to entry… However, it’s not like someone working for the MPAA couldn’t pass an interview or whatever it is they do these days…

I’d still use a VPN if I were still on private trackers.

That said, I use a VPN always, so… 🤷🏻

Who do you send the complaint to?

AKA, “let the poors die while I hide out in my bunker, and emerge as a feudal lord among the survivors nearby”

…Bob? Bob Dylan?

EndeavourOS was the first Linux distro I used when I switched a little over a year ago.

I have not tried any other because I have felt no need. And I’ve gotten so used to using pacman, and Arch repositories for maintaining everything, that I have no reason to try anything else

yt-dlp is the gold standard. Not only for YouTube either. Check out the man page, the amount of shit it can do is insane.

Never raw dog the net like that…

They’ll probably just end up making a (very expensive) method of obscuring themselves from the recognition tech. That way they won’t need to pass any laws, and ad companies (or cops or anyone else who knows how to jailbreak their hardware. Probably) can still take advantage of the technology in some way.

Because 💰

People like me? I would never do such a thing. That doesn’t mean I’m going to blame people who did, for the actions of avaricious capitalists.

It’s really easy to not be a scumbag.

Ads you say?

I’ll have to take your word for it…

What a bunch of libertarian bullshit. Every layman can’t be expected to be an expert on literally everything so as to make sure they don’t buy or consume a product that will hurt or damage them in some way, or do business with a corporation that will screw them over. This is literally the reason government exists.

Isn’t there a cloud nearby that needs yelling at?

You kind of just described what a meme is

I imagine they’re mostly going to target videos and channels that review those devices that you buy pre-loaded with 1TB of ROMs or whatever. Videos about and highlighting products that are blatantly infringing on like a billion copyrights.

If you make money from emulation, you’ll get fucked (and honestly I’m kind of ok with that). However, it is a bit extreme to copyright claim videos that are just talking about said products.

With all that’s said, I would think people doing video essays and shit will be fine. Then again, this is Nintendo so who knows.
