Shucks… Maybe if the college didn’t rob the students blind on tuition, and the publishers not rob the students blind on books, maybe they could afford to pay for software licenses. 🤷‍♂️

If the publishers win, I hope every book they publish as long as they exist gets torrented into oblivion leading authors to ditch them in favour of self publishing

Which is why we need to nationalize banks. Why the fuck are they private institutions when you literally can’t get by without a bank account?

Right? This dude was probably just hosting all of the content that the platforms removed over the years lol

so what to do now?

How about a Civics exam that you need to pass in order to vote? If somebody doesn’t know the basics of the government including federal vs provincial vs municipal, then their vote shouldn’t count because they have no underiof what they’re voting for in the first place.

Not all of us, but it sure feels like the province has been lobotomized

The problem is that this country is fucking brain-dead and tries to elect conservatives federally every chance they can. Shit, there’s an actual chance somebody as against the general public as Poilivere could be elected. There are actually working class folk out there absolutely excited to fuck themselves and everybody else over by electing him in. Every point they make against Trudeau will very possibly continue or be worse under PP yet they’re out there with raging truck boners hopping to vote him in.

And that has the potential to fuck the entire country over for healthcare instead of just a few lobotomized provinces.

Be careful what you wish for.

It really just seems like it proves that the applicant is able to work in an environment where everything is already pre-installed and running with no need to learn basic troubleshooting, and that they were able to sit through a few years of focusing on specific aspects of a textbook and writing incredibly mundane programs… and quite possibly lack the ability to learn on their own and think outside of the box…

Interviews and testing seem like they would be a far better way to vet applicants

And generally signs pointing out the potential for deer and other animals crossing. Will probably opt to drive like mad at night through them? Probably, but you can’t fix stupid nor should you let them take away the rights and privileges of the less stupid

I don’t even get postsecondary for a good chunk of areas… Like computer programming, for example. Why would anybody need a degree that says “I don’t know how to read textbooks, use Google, and learn in my own”? I’m sure there are lots of degrees just like that

If you’re traveling through an area where there is the potential for wildlife to yeet itself onto the roard, then chances are there will be signs posted and a reduced speed limit…

This still sounds like shit driving, and as somebody stuck doing pointless commutes to an office and back every day I swear people on the road have gotten significantly worse after the COVID restrictions lightened up.

So glad I left the publishing industry. I went in with a lot of respect many years ago, but it was so gross. All about how much money could be milked from students. Accuracy of information was in second or third place of importance

Don’t blame the cars for their shitty occupants. There are plenty of other things to blame on vehicles, but this isn’t one. This is shit drivers, shit drive tests, and try fact at after you get your license the whole thing just becomes a pay-to-play subscription. Should be mandatory re-tests every time (or every other time) it needs to be renewed.

How do I copyright myself and I every last bit of content that I create?

Why are they concerned? They have plenty of oil to drink

It’s more the fact that actual crimes can be nullified by a statute of limitations, but shit like this doesn’t seem to have any expiration date

Somebody should tell Nintendo that a bunch of their games are available from the Switch NES app. Maybe they’ll she themselves out of existence and we can finally enjoy their games in peace

VIMM’s Lair has been around for ages… If Nintendo really cared why didn’t they do something around, say, 2002? 🤔

Why is there no statute of limitations on this kinda bullshit?

They get it. Looks at all these “influencers” getting shit they don’t need for free all the time to spread word.

Piracy is basically the same thing, but it’s somebody getting something they do need/want and giving it honest word-of-mouth promotion

What they should do is properly DMCA - then the copyright trolls would be out an extensive amount of money, but no they’ll keep on using this completely broke system because the billion dollar major licensing companies aren’t negatively affected by any of it.

I swear we are living among a major population of zombies. The amount of stupidity is too damn high, and it seems to be on the rise, too. The number of people crying about Trudeau, but wanting to vote in Poilivere is so incredibly ass-backwards, but these are the same people who were protesting on government property about tyranny and losing freedoms without any repercussions… Imagine how good the world would be if these people had any modicum of critical thinking skills.

Lmao how is selling my house and buying another ridiculously inflated house part of my retirement?

But you clearly don’t want freedom of speech, because that would allow for people to leave comments exactly in line with those that you’d see on Reddit.

First you say you’d rather have freedom of speech when arguing about keeping racial bullshit alive on the platform.

Then you say you’re against freedom of speech when the platform starts to look like Reddit with people calling out that racist troglodytes have no place in modern society.

Hmmm, it’s almost like you don’t want freedom of speech, you want pools to blast diarrhea into.

There’s a big difference between blocking baseless, hate-fueled bullshit, and blocking actually credible information proving that people in power are encroaching on the rights and freedoms of others…

Hmm, need to figure out how I can trace my lineage back to the first recorded musician so that I can trademark some chords then go after every record label to have ever existed.

Then I’ll try to track down the first ever written script so I can go after the movie industry next

Oh dear, not building valuations… 🙄

Tangentially, as a homeowner in the GTA I hope this market crashes. I’d love to break even or even take a slight loss on my place. The difference between what I paid 12 years ago and what they’re going for now is just stupid. I’d like to move, but I don’t want to pay the stupid price things are at right now.

I’ll finally be able to buy Aldi’s nuts? I’ve heard that there’s nothing quite like sucking on a mouthful of Aldi’s nuts.

“It doesn’t really make sense to me. I don’t understand what the motive is behind that. Why would anyone want to steal?” said Othman Ali, a regular shopper at Superstore.

Why not? They steal from us through price gouging, and their employees through wage theft. Why is that okay, Othman?

Dear lord wtf, is there no dark mode?!

if you believe this copyright claim was made in error

It definitely was, since Yuzu doesn’t break copyright…

12 hours? Lol probably just some stuff to code on and screw around in. I’ll probably take a nap in there somewhere to kill time

Where can I copy one of those pins? That’s badass

If morality was tied to law, there wouldn’t be piracy because the greedy fucks at the top would all be imprisoned.

Huh? Why can’t you pirate on Android? The foundation is there… Shit, Aria2 could be used nefariously if one wanted to https://aria2.github.io/

Inflation was never the problem, though. Rampant greed is what needs to be addressed and fixed…

I said the same thing - donate pirated warez then call one of those piracy snitch lines that pays supposedly pays you. Lmao. Fuck the Salvation Army.

Donate, then rat them out to one of those piracy groups that apparently pay you to snitch lmao

Chic-fil-ation Army.

…THE PLOT THICKENS

“I can’t, Jesus is too sexy and I find myself wondering which hole would be the most fun. I’m thinking probably the left hand.”
