Whenever I read stuff like this, my mind goes a bit hazy. Because I'm just finding myself asking 'Why and when did the simple mechanic of passwords get this difficult?'
Maybe if password requirements weren't stingingly stupid, companies cared more about actual security and not an obstacle course they've gotta send people through to do one thing. We wouldn't ever know or need to know systems like this.
Ads should never have to be a source of income for anybody, in the same vein that paying for tips having to be a source of income.
The problem are the fat-cats hoarding all of the money so they can piss it away by flaunting and throwing down those millions so that we can suffer ads at their expense. That is a problem.
Millions are spent on marketing, that's not a secret. You should sit down and think sometime, where those millions could've been spent on than just shoving ads and ads down our damn throats.
And we need to hold the people who allowed the company to break ground to provide us those utilities that lead to allowing us to pirate.
And soon we'll have to pass so many ridiculous laws to where we mind as well just go back to relying on oil lanterns and telegraphs.
Yeah, it is portfolio-padding. I see this happen all of the time. Like, I see programs and other technological products start as newborn projects. It takes 1 - 3 years average to see them blossom, they have their big break and then somewhere down the road, the creator(s) are looking for buyers. Because they've made this project now with the means of profit so they can live a life worry-free from all of the years they worked developing said project.
And you know, I get it, I mean I'm not going to disagree with the principle. Don't we all want to live worry-free with money for the rest of our lives?
But I do also get a tinge of hatred towards some of them because of the hundreds to thousands and even millions of people that have believed in them to use their products faithfully. And now they're facing a new entity, god help us if it's someone from a private firm or someone who's a shareholder ass-kisser. Because now we're going to experience the dip and we'll be troubled with moving on or sticking with the shit that now has degraded because the whole thing is entirely for-profit.
I swear there is one dude who is like a frequent news reporter, I see his name nearly all of the time around the instances. But yeah there seems to be just a handful of people who represent the minority that just chat away.
My store is out of them but right now it's wafer rolls. They come in orange, vanilla and strawberry flavors. All of them are damn good and I end up eating the whole jar once I start eating a few of them.
No, they want ZELLA USB-C MICRO THUNDERBOLT APPLE ANDROID 100% chrging pad.
No, their idea of value is bothering with a bunch of shit you could honestly give less of a shit about. Audible? Oh cool, you mean another service you gotta sign up for and keep track of? And you have to cancel that separately or get a subscription charge, which happened to me before. Aggravating.
Prime Video...E-Book...Games...
Yeah they're trying to shove all of this content in your face and you may not likely be interested.
Wow, not too long ago we lost AnimeSuge and now they're already after HiAnime.
Hey, why don't you fucking go tell Crunchyroll to get off it's lazy ass and get shit available? It doesn't have everything!
It has long stopped being useful for a long, long time. It is just but a symbol of piracy. It hasn't even had it's original creators for close to 10 years now? Maybe longer.
It's discouraged because it has lost it's place as the place to go to for pirated material. All you'll find is nothing but people slipping in malware on things you want.
Good on Discord. If these corporate cretins want pirates so bad, do the work themselves, not push others to do the dirty work.
