I'm completely out of the loop, so I might as well ask you: where is discord so established? Never used it in my life. I used IRC, ICQ and MSN in their time. Now for work Slack, teams and zoom. Signal and Telegram privately. Email for everything.
What am I missing? What does discord provide?
Exactly. Getting media without paying (either in currency or in data for ads). Which they also address and talk about plex and jellyfin to consume the newly "liberated" media. I find his opinion on this quite fair.
What you’re refering to as Twitter, is in fact, X/Twitter, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, X plus Twitter...
How about just starving them? Much cheaper!
You absolutely CAN sell GPL-licensed applications for money.
I haven't bought a PC since my X200s ca 2008 so I'm really out of date on hardware prices, but the MacBook is just amazing. For dev / office work even the base one could be enough, swap is so fast you don't even notice it. I have a 16/512 model and it's more than enough.
For stationary computing, the Mac mini is awesome, under 1k with the same specs as the MacBook.
There's a lot of talk about switching to Linux (I use Arch, BTW) but for anyone looking for a new computer, macs are going to look real good. Still user friendly, excellent build quality, and Unix core. A Mac mini can be had for about 500 bucks. I've got an M2 MacBook Pro from work and I am super happy with it. Limited gaming tho, but I got a steamdeck for that.
Another happy customer of YouTube premium here. I canceled Netflix, never had Spotify. The only subscription I pay, worth it. The family plan works to 5 or 6 euros per person per month.
Would you like define pi to be 3 while you're at it?
