I'm certain this is false. Forgot to install uBlock on a new machine? Use someone else's computer? See a billboard sign? And if you're old enough, cable TV? Sometimes ads are disguised as regular content too. IE burnout paradise city with real ads on billboards. Sports games. Amazon prime is always tweaking shit too, definitely got stopped by a mid show ad a couple times.
Its kinda true. I like to think of gog and gog-games. One is a storefront. One is a clean ui with all the games downloadable for free.
I think many would still use the free one vs paid. Myself, there's something about owning it.
I pirated doom eternal back in the day. I was enjoying it so much I just bought it instead. 🤷
I get what you're saying with "copying" vs "stealing", which is true. But if you could clone your friends car for free you don't need to buy a car and the business loses a sale.
Might as well prevent forest fires by reversing climate change. Oh wait, trump has been ruining all that progress and pushing products that cause climate change.
Too many people just don't give a fuck and that's what frustrates me most. The only windows computer I have in this home is my work one. Because I need it for work. Any time I use the other ones it's so clean, fast, ad free. Less bullshit.
My only real anxiety over what's happening here is my nest speakers and smart tv. Both are connected to the internet but they're vlan'd off.
There was a post yesterday about pine speakers, please let them be good...
