Windows is frustrating for average people, the thing is that they get used to ms bullshit because they think there are no other way.

Dinosaurs will die - NOFX

My general rule is that i shouldn’t spend more energy than the person asking for help because there are people that call for help not because they are unable to solve the thing on their own, but because they rather someone else did everything for them.

We are one old guy away from the first world i see

They put up guard rails to protect the ego of facists from developed countries only.

Maintaining a browser is crazy hard. If Firefox goes to shit, it would require some serious foundation to maintain a good fork.

P2p is the way the web naturally flowed, protocols like bittorrent wore able to distribute content better than giant streaming companies without relying on giant infrastructure.

Now sharing is frowed upon, hosting your own server at home is frowed upon, the web used to be more made by users, now to do anything you need to go through a big company.

The difficulties you face on piracy is just a reflection of how capitalism is fucking the web.

Live in Rio, from this list i have almost everything in a 15 minute walk distance the only exceptions are

• shopping mall(30 min walking)
• public hospital (used to have but it closed, now the closest is 30 min walking)
• Movie theater(30 min walking)
• Sports arena(1h walking)
• Public University(2h walking)

Although i have a lot of services close, it is still a chore to go walking because a lot of the walking is uphill, i wish there was more public infrastructure to help people move up and down like trams and stuff like that, way back them the city uses to have trams everywhere, but now there’s almost none.

What isn’t on the list, but i absolutely didn’t want around, was an neopentecostal church. Unfortunately, they are everywhere and super loud and disrespectful.

That and the noise, bars can be pretty loud

Next step is selling recaptcha for phones.

Most saas products no, most of software i saw advertising on those kind of channels yes.

You go accepting one small thing after another, and soon you will be locked into a crappy service.

Most of the “tech” youtube world is based around presenting mostly useless consumer products as it was technological advancement.

Most of their SAAS advertisers could be replaced by a “docker compose up”, hardware ones, most of the time are just regular tools with one or two gimmick.

The way to get money advertising on linux is by misleading business people into getting useless enterprise services.

That and using multiple instances of the browser instead of one instance with many tabs helped me a lot. If i have to switch tasks i go to a new workspace and only open the software related to that task there. Once I’m done i just close everything in the workspace and move back to the previous one that is the same way it was before i switch.

On what the article touches, he is not wrong. Buying a new car, even if it’s an electric one, will have more impact than a lot of time using a gasoline one, especially if the country doesn’t produce electricity in a sustainable way.

Also, if you want to help the environment, you shouldn’t be replacing cars, but removing them, public transportation, and walkable cities are so much better in this regard.

Which video editor did you use ? Mint shouldnt fell clunky out of the box, maybe the editor you choose was too much for your hardware, or you had some hardware/instalation specific issue, Da Vinci Resolve is quite heavy on resources, maybe Kdenlive would perform better on this machine.

There are many lightweight basic video editors o linux, give them a try to check if the clunkynes go away.

Not exactly a piracy tool, but syncthing is quite useful to keep pc and other devices in parity if you don’t plan to leave one on all the time.

You didn’t mention gaming, but if you plan to use your tablet for emulators, you can sync save files with it if the emulators are compatible cross pc and android like ppsspp.

To be fair, nowadays malware behavior is more likely to come from the companies than the cracks.

Curators are a good way too, some blogs or podcasts do a lot of heavy lifting in discovering new shows, some communities with similar tastes are also good to find content, way better than algos and ads.

Guess the ghost dog wants the country to starve. I hope he doesn’t get what he wants.
