Then I am an outlier. To me, until you paid it off it belongs to a bank.

Own as in already paid off mortgage or still in the process?

To those who think it is a fair compromise: It is not.

Android already had one layer of this shit before. When installid freshly dowloaded apk, android would prompt you to confirm that the source of the apk is trusted. This was not like this before. Before you’d just install apk.

And I agree to a certain amount. But thing is, it was added for no specific reason. People who install apks form outside source, will keep doing it and they 99% of the time know what they are doing or being told to do so by someone who knows what they are doing.

Adding another layer to this wont solve the problem, except make users annoyed for 24h wait time. And this is only adding 1 layer now. Who the fuck knows what is going to be 1 year later. 5 years later?

A one day wait period to install an app on your mobile pocket computer.

And that somehow supposed to stop users from inflicting their phones with virus software? Like, it does not make sense. Okay, force all devs to upload their IDs, no biggie (I guess). But do not lock users into the “tough luck, you cant sideload” system. 1 day wait will not prevent anything. They just added a mild annoyance for 24h, nothing more.

I mean, yeah. They do. Would it be finally enough to stop all scammers online? All in on a clear “No”.

Actually safety is just “how likely you are to be killed by a car” isn’t it?

Wonder how this transfers to a plane 👀

I never liked taste of alcohol (can tolerate certain brews) but I love coffee. I also havent drank coffee so much in my life. It is numbing my tiredness and making me a bit more irritated for no specific reason. I do drink coffee in cases when I either am poorly rested, had no rest at all or need to perform physically for a long time.

It is funny and annoying when people ask you if you want beer, you refuse and then weird/funny questions come. Latest one was at the friends party. Lady asked me if I am not drinking in solidarity to my pregnant wife.

If you are fine with ink printers, get inktank which you can refill yourself with pretty much any ink you can find. Never buy ink cartridge one like ever. Also, I would opt out of ink printers if you are not using them so often and if speed is preferable. They are slow as fuck and in my experience, a seldom used printer would at some point clog and it is pretty much impossible to clean this shit out.

As for laser ones, get preferably Brother. I have Lexmark and their toners can be refilled at home which is nice but I believe Brother toners if not easily refillable at home, can be refiled at print shops for cheap. Also, look for part availability so that in case of some part become broken, you can easily get a replacement off the web. Then you’re set!

Publisher for Hi-Fi Rush, and PUBG. Wow…

I’d say they did much more harm to themselves rather than to anyone else. I fail to remember NK invading anyone besides an ongoing conflict with SK.

I got a dashcam with voice assistant and wifi. Wifi is off by default. Voice assist has only predetermined phrases like “turn on wifi” or “turn off screen”. Connecting to camera requires an app. Camwra is also in spewing mode during parking because it is wired properly. Also, I made it so that audio is jot recorded and only speed and time is shown on the video.

I fail to see how there can be anyprivacy issues.

Dashcam in question: viofo 329.

I’ll add a few from my own experience.

Few years back I found Civvie11 on youtube. He just had released the first Pro Blood video and I liked it so much, I opened my patreon account and subbed to him. At that time he had around $500 a month from patrons. I think not even a year has passed, when I checked for patron content, he had $3000 a month going only from patrons. For a small channel like his, that is quite a sum of money to receive. Today he has 485k subs and $4300 a month off patrons. Not bad imo for a not so popular gaming channel.

Another nice example: decino is pulling $1000 a month with a tiny 200k sub YT channel pretty much only about Doom gameplay.

For larger channels with multiple millions of subs and a patreon or some other crowdfunding sources putting ads into their videos they are pulling much more. Not to mention paid ads in their vids.

Also, twitch proves that people are willing to spend 5 bucks a month for their favorite content creator. This is totally possible to run youtube clone funded by viewers.

Patreon would like a word.

On the other hand, If everyone would use adblockers, maybe content creator market would evolve into viewers supporting their favorite creators directly, or youtube having a subscription model that is much better than a current one in a way of user experience and creator support.

I have recently had a funny discussion with a husband of my wife’s friend. In short, he’s not an IT guy but does run ad blockers on each browser and device as he can. He was wondering why people wont use ad blockers since it is trivial to install and even chrome uBO lite works well on youtube (dunno about that fact, I have migrated to FF as soon as they announced Manifest V3)

Normies just wont. It is just not what they do. And they are the majority.

Not that I love ActMan, but day to day news about Valve controversies do make me feel the same about these claims as ActMan. It really feels like if suddenly everyone wants to sue Valve to the ground so they got destroyed and other lesser fair gaming companies secure their market.

Valve is no angel. But if we compare to others, they are next best thing to a Saint.

According to recent events, some fucked up people are willing to be filmed like this. Here’s link to the video if anyone is interested.

All these good reviews made me think I’m losing my mind. Half a season was cool. But the first time bell rang was his sister reveal. Then it went downhill for me.

With my YT, Steam, and email account being old enough to drink, will they till force me to upload ID?

700mil is slightly over 2x USA population. And?

We can bend this logic a bit more. We have 8 billion people on this planet, and only Pakistan would be paying for a service that the rest of the world is using but not paying for.

We are talking about percentages here. 20mil is a lot. But 3% is not so much in the grand scheme of things.
