yup, buy old rigs/laptops “for parts”. This is what I’ve been doing.

Also go to thrift stores and look for old DVRs. you can take the HDs out of those and they’re usually in the 1tb range.

Mainly i’ve been buying old laptops purely for the ram and ssds.

my guy out of ALL the illegal shit he’s done you honestly thought THIS was the thing that would stop him? no. He has literally killed children. He could do it on live TV right now and nothing would happen to him. He could round up all the people he doesn’t like, go on fox news, and put a gun to the back of each of their heads and pull the trigger on live TV and nothing would happen.

You’re in a fascist dictatorship. Laws don’t apply to fascist dictators. he’s murdered and raped people, children even, he rigged the last election, he has a gestapo that kills american citizens with zero consequences, he has concentration camps.

There’s only 3 ways he’s going to be stopped, only 3.

1. the Military coups
2. the US people rise up and storm the capital
3. he dies. and this option is the worst because they’ll just replace him with someone younger and worse.

that’s it.

I didn’t say it was constant. I only said every now and again on the free trial I’d get an ad. Maybe it’s because I only used it with Qutebrowser. I don’t know. but I know that sometimes I would get an ad on a video.

there’s no point. I tried the free trial of youtube premium cause i’m on Qutebrowser and the adblocking isn’t the greatest. even with Premium i’d still randomly get ads every now and then. IF i were paying for it I’d be pissed.

Now I circumvent this by just opening all the videos in MPV.

sure they’re leaving but…where? what’s a viable alternative?

I mean if I had it my way everyone would just go back to IRC, I still use IRC. it’s great, nothings changed, it’s perfect. combine that with like mumble or teamspeak and you’re good to go.

I checked out Stoat lastnight and it’s very slow. took well over an hour to get a verification email (I assume because many others were signing up) and the current server offerings are minimal. Also a good majority of the themes listed simply don’t work. it’s growing and I’d say it’s the best alternative right now but it’s not there yet and I worry it or the various instances of it could hold up if there was a massive Discord exodus.

Matrix is a no and xmpp ain’t much better.

potentially. it’s going to become more of the norm as more nations enforce stuff like this to “protect the kids” coughget your id and know what you’re doing onlinecough

Also keep in mind Discord is just about to launch their IPO in March so the timing lines up.

they do. desperately. it’s been stated for awhile now.
