Win + R isn’t the terminal but rather the run command.

We’ll find someone else to blame, like women!
Wait, no–
As a neutral nation you need to have some way to ensure that neutrality as there is no NATO or other group of nations to have your back.
Hence the military spending.
Not the point I was making.
This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"
Did Linus blame anyone though?
No. He simply stated a fact.
But that doesn’t mean it isn’t piracy?
Downloading old Nintendo ROMs because the company refuses to redistribute them is also piracy, even though I would say it’s morally justified.
Its protection.
From your point of view, yeah. Not from the point of view of the creator and the platform.
Linus isn’t clutching his pearls nor is he crying, he’s just pointing out you are circumventing the method of payment to the platform. It is detrimental to both the platform and the creator. That is a fact. Your choice has an impact and you should be aware of that.
But at no point did he say “you’re a bad person if you use adblock”.
What has got you so worried?
I really don’t get the hate he got for that take.
Circumventing the method of payment could be argued as being a form of piracy. From that point of view, adblock is piracy.
Like them or not, YouTube is not a charity and requires the serving of ads to continue funding the service. You could argue about how they go about it, but it’s a fact they need some sort of income to continue to exist.
Same goes for YouTubers. They get a percentage of that ad revenue. And they also need some form of income.
But just because he said so doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand why adblock is used. He didn’t say “don’t use adblock.” He’s shown how to use adblock before and since. He’s also mentioned that buying something from their webshop gives them a lot more money than turning off adblock.
Saying “watching movies for free is pirating” isn’t the same as saying “you shouldn’t pirate movies”.
Using adblock isn’t engaging with YouTube on YouTube’s terms.
Magnetic field ≠ electric field
This might match your criteria:
(Jokes aside, I do agree with your sentiment)
Does it?
Previous benchmarks have shown the 8 GB models seriously fell behind in performance.
How to avoid: right click the start icon (or press win + x) and go to “Shut down or sign out” that way.
I try not using the Windows start menu anymore because I hate seeing the little “notification” bubble on my profile, when dismissing it it returns within a few days!
Yes Microsoft, I am aware I cancelled 365. Thanks for reminding me why I did so.
Most sane take in this whole thread.
Some of y’all get a little conspiratorial.
Sorry, I was replying to a comment about offshore wind in the EU.
Supposedly you’d set up some proper regulations, implement checks and balances but given the current US business and political climate; good question.
They have no upsides
Except the lack of greenhouse gas emissions, once up and running.
If we actually started developing them on any sort of scale most of those negatives you mention will be negated.
Flexibility, as in the inability to quickly ramp down, can be solved with storage or with generating hydrogen.
We need more nuclear reactors
I’m sure those developers don’t need any material like, say, software, or a desk. Or other staff to write those paychecks and resolve disputes. Or give direction. Nor would the company need to host any downloads or other websites.
