Dude, it’s not even just people who pirate might go and watch something. They’re more likely to buy merch which they make more money off of. I’ve bought plenty of merch for stuff I pirate.

Plenty of forks out there that still work thankfully.

They’re gonna do the delay tactic too but this is more insidious.

The amount of money the husband is asking for isn’t all that much, pennies to them and in the greater scheme of things this is a nothing suit to them, low stakes. Since it’s low stakes they’re trying this tactic first to see if it’ll stick and create that dangerous precedent. I don’t suspect it’ll go through but with all these right wing pro capitalist judges it might, and it’s worth trying for them since it’s such a low stakes suit.

The reason they all fail is because of lack of content for end game BUT they fail in that way because they refuse to learn from the titans. Why do you think minecraft and terraria have had such a long healthy life. It’s cause they have a robust modding community. They need to make the game around making it easy to mod for regular people. Look at minecraft skins, they’re easy to make and sites have easy tools to help make em so everyone dips their toes into it and creates unique custom content to add to the minecraft skin library.

Might be a bit dramatic. All sectors of industry are using more and more tech, we have more people in the workforce now that are tech literate than we did decades ago.

These are random numbers to explain my point. Look at it this way, in the 90s maybe 20 percent of people knew how to use computers but 12 percent of those were truly tech savvy and knew the ins and out of using a pc.

Now a days 90 percent of people know how to use a pc (regardless of the form it presents itself, be it pc, phone, tablet, etc) but only like 30 percent of them might be truly tech savvy.

It’s still a step up from back then, and because of the nature of tech in industry there’s always gonna be plenty of people who know how to use pcs well and if there aren’t then that’s just more money for us who do know.

In paint 3d it’s open image > click crop button > crop > save. My mom could do it with no problem since the Ui isn’t cluttered with stuff and the crop button is right there.

Totally agree, sometimes I just need to crop an image and it’s not intuitive at all on the big programs. I’ve found paint 3D is fairly solid and non complex for most simple things one needs to do with images.

Photopea dot Com is pretty solid and it’s a website not a download. Has good complexities for the non profesional that wants to do more but doesn’t need or want photoshop.

They’ll literally never lower prices. Look at what prices for everything are right now. Their excuse was that covid was driving up prices, now that covid is over they realized they could charge more so here we are.

Not just those, iirc it’s some sort of chip that is no longer put into phones cause of money reasons. I’ve only owned phones with a jack slot and my current phone doesn’t have fm capabilities, I’ve checked.

That’s probably the reason why there aren’t any truly good apps out there. Similar to how phones don’t even have radio antenas anymore. I miss being able to use my old phone with a speaker for the drive in theater. Had to get a new radio Bluetooth speaker to replace it.

They’re not smart enough it figure out anything not mainstream. I heard most of the big sites blocked recently were live TV feed sites.

The cerveza crystal edit wasn’t a meme edit. Iirc it was a totally legit copy of the movie aired in Chile decades ago when they got the rights to air the movie on their local TV. They wanted to make extra money and that company paid the TV station to do in movie product placements. They’re hilarious.

Damn you’re calling me out. It’s emerald now.

I mostly pirate games that don’t have free trials. I’ll play them a bit and if I like em I’ll just buy them legit and often buy them for friends so we can play together. I’ve bought like 3 copies of terraria and 2 of minecraft way back in the day in addition to a bunch of other smaller names. I also pirate AAA games because fuck em, they don’t need my money.

It’s not only you. A couple years ago I sold and set up brand new display tvs. They were atrocious with how much they lagged out of the box. I stay away from roku for that reason, their TCL roku tvs are the worst for lag, or they were back then at least.

I use windows and android and my earphones switch just fine between pc, phone and my car. Or should I say the audio switches with no issue between them.

Same, I blame games not having a trial version anymore. Streams free weekends are actually great for this. I’ve bought a couple free weekend games I’ve played in the past.

Maybe it’s your devise or I’m misunderstanding? When I click a notification it takes me to where it’s at. Gilded on the other hand sucks balls at notification.
