So, a service is something yourself have to pay for continuusly. A VPN Server from hetzner for example costs like 30€ a month, so in order for it to be lifelong, meaning like 80 Years, you`d have to pay 28.800€. And I say that with only 1 active Server.

So if you only pay like 300€ or less once for lifetime, you`d still have to rely on people paying the subscription in order to subcidize the cost of the people who paid only once.

But since people who use it regularly will buy a lifetime license, you always need a steady stream of New users to subsidize the old ones

Edited the comment, used the wrong word

Just saying: Lifetime Licences for Services are a ponzi scheme

If you want security and at the same time want to be able to identify your device if stolen, just scratch your name into the back. Or paint it with a marker. Or whatever

The actual fuck?

And what if I go on a hajk for 2 days and stay in some crackhouse without any connection that night? Will it just lock up and not allow me to call for help until i Am vErIfIeD tO cAlL fOr a tAxI? What if I get hurt and have to call someone to pick me up?

And how does it detect if something is „Stolen“ again?

Why do I have the feeling you will end like the jar man, but instead the label will peel off and you will get poisoning from the glue

If the AI tells them to

For a 10% coupon, ssh into localhost and enter code sudo rm -rf /*

Because especially big media giants love to log all seeders on a torrent and sue them

I hope you have a vpn

Not that the blockchain itself is a Bad idea, but after like a year or 2 of becoming popular it will be impossible for anyone to have a locally stored coin because they will be just multiple petabytes big

You got Delta force working on Linux?

Yay, an OEM Bios so I have to throw away the Mainboard after a few years, but it says Linux in its name so it has to be good

Im talking about the “Game” Aliya’s Awakening: DOGE 2042

I did not at all think this was AI generated, it only reminded me of an AI Slop Game I saw a few hours earlier

Not because it looks too similar, but both play in a dystopian world. I did not mean to accuse you of making Slop, I was just commenting that your game kinda has the same Premise, but if you actually gave a thought about it and made an interesting Trailer

Sounds like that shitty AI generated Arg on epic games, but if someone put time into it instead of (insert meme about fecals here)

This.

You cant decide about your instance? Well how the fuck did you decide to use reddit then instead of all the other forum based Websites then?

Could you tell me where I said you should just contribute yourself? My grep dosent seem to find it.

I said ‘don’t complain about things people are making in their free time for you to enjoy.’

Yes, exactly

Like, take his 10 year old Video of sticking in aß many Keyboards as possible

He somehow knew all the standards, could troubleshoot it all and still just seemed very competent

With the Linux video, I think he’s like trying to behave like a new user? (Like please tell me who the fuck would be a new user and not go to the forum once there’s a problem, but instead use this terminal and ignore all warnings?)

But even then, like, he knows his channel is not directed towards very tech incompetent people he is trying to emulate. But instead of just doing it like he himself would use Linux, he still put up this costume of ignorance and pretended like this is hard to do. But if you even had the slightest experience with the terminal, even cmd, you will instantly see for how dumb he is taking you by „Trying to emulate his viewership”. And even if you don’t want to make a positive video about Linux, just talk about how office dosent work on it, or how kernel level anti cheat is bad

But instead he is still making videos about trying some very special shit no one would ever do (like install arch as a beginner, install SteamOS even tho there’s Chimera and Bazzite, etc) failing at this very special thing, and then talking about it like this is the Linux experience.

Like, for real, I will bet my nudes that this decade he will try to install Gentoo, say that its the Linux experience, fail badly, and say that Linux is bad.

But its true

No one is paying these people to contribute to Linux. If someone would bring you donuts every day for free, you wouldn’t start barrading them with comments about how he comes late sometimes.

And if you want that bug to be fixed, pay a software engineer to fix it, out of your own pocket. If they then dont do it, then you can start talking about them being late.

Be grateful for all these people making your computer more than a brick.
