Many sites also waive it for seeding torrents 24/7.

And with HD torrents it’s like once every 30 days

Even if you seed they’ll email you after some time asking you to login to the site. Really stupid.

I hate ycombinator but here:

You could put it behind an elitist wall. How do you get in? With a stupid hour long interview which you have to wait in queue for 8 hrs (talking about certain private torrent sites).

But really, I don’t care. LLMs can’t replace real online forums.

Houthis will find out why we don’t have free healthcare

i hate all tech corps. you can use (and even like) their products and also think they are evil, oligopolies and all.

i cant abandon my gmail because i don’t even know how many sites and how many people i have given it to. i like youtube because it’s THE slop factory. Maps is also pretty good, love Street View, Chrome is ‘ok’ but Firefox is a perfectly usable (and in many ways, better) substitute (especially given Google’s ad shenanigans).

“Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an ‘open source’ sticker on it.”

unlike EU-corporate products

issue is to download it directly this way from MS you need a MSDN registered account

You can calculate the hash of your iso and compare it with Microsoft

Could be a power issue. 2.5" hard drives do require some power. Some external drives have two USB one for data and other for extra power.

Maybe one of your laptops isn’t supplying enough power or the port is dirty causing resistance and voltage drop. Or it could be something else entirely.

I don’t agree with either, tbh. I don’t support the latest tweet because I don’t believe America needs to “lead the world” in EVs or solar panels, it’s American exceptionalist nonsense.

Also, tariffs don’t necessarily mean American people pay for it. China doesn’t pay for tariffs, obviously. They can sell to other countries or for domestic use instead if Americans don’t wish to import their goods.

If the tariffs are imposed along with an increased state role in domestic production of EVs and solar panels, with proper planning like China did, the U.S. could achieve domestic production of the same quality in long run.

But in reality, there won’t be any proper planning. The U.S. government is incompetent. So, you’ll end up having inferior, overpriced cars.

Remember glass bottles?

I think everyone should post Yuzu links on Twitter. The place doesn’t have much moderation so it’s perfect.

It’s not just because they want to raise money, they want to raise dollars specifically.

That said, China has been pushing companies towards domestic capital markets, which run on Yuan.

“Public-Private Partnership” and it’s consequences

It is normal. Trump supporters have been like this since 2016. Right wing cranks existed way before that.
