Don’t forget the smugness. These types of places always have such smug staffing, like they think they shit gold or something. It’s like bitch please, you’re demanding someone pay a day’s wage for you to fuck up ground beef. Fuck off out of here with your foofoo bullshit burger.

Might want to reconsider the mobo/cpu choice, given the current situation with Intel chips failing at a pretty high rate.

Interesting sales tactic, but that still makes this post basically a giant advertisement. Also LOL @ them being butthurt they couldn’t make a living off of this a few years ago so they got mad and put it away.

It’s so weird seeing just how much of the internet has transitioned into the “Fuck you, pay me” model.

Why though? Why go through the trouble for zero benefit? Not like you’re going to get the support contract that’s tied to these paid, enterprise-level versions.

At least it’s not one of those stupid “reaction face” thumbnails. A clickbait title is easy enough to parse as “not worth my time” but those punchable face thumbnails? Fuck me, the person that started that trend needs to find the nearest running belt sander and start licking.

<laughs in massive data breaches> Better buckle up Buttercup, because “being in a database” is a reality. Thanks to data breaches such as Equifax, pretty much every US citizen and all their important details are available in numerous databases.

We willingly purchase devices that listen and watch our every move… to be added to private, corporate databases that get sold around like cheap prostitutes. At least with government databases, voting gives at least a teeny, tiny modicum of control.

And even better, while I cant name specific breaches in relation to global populations, it’s a safe bet most everyone else is compromised as well.

On the bright side, at least it makes random identity theft occurring to any one particular individual akin to winning the PowerBall.

Now would probably be a good time to mention private trackers. GGn usually has everything, isn’t too hard to maintain good standing, and has a relatively decent community.

Everyone claiming to be nice is living a lie and ignoring that everything everyone does ever is essentially motivated by their own self-interests.

Recognizing that makes it a hell of a lot easier to deal with people and avoid buying into the forced bullshit that attempts to force itself into every aspect of life.

I dunno how well it works, or what it requires but https://svgur.com/ exists.

The “free speech” instances are just cesspools of a different shade. Sticking to any one singular platform, you’ll eventually notice them start to slide towards a groupthink/echochamber of sorts, regardless of the focus of the instance.

Easiest way is to just browse multiple instances of different types. At least the unhinged insanity of each side cancels each other out for the most part.

Multiple copies from multiple sources, strip down to just text, run a comparison. Won’t tell you if you have a “perfect” copy, only whether or not what you have matches what is published. Remember that even when purchasing, books often have typos and minor errors.
