notepad doesn’t have spellcheck and if you don’t use a third party firewall to block its network activity it will transmit information about what you put on it to microsoft and the advertising companies its partnered with.

open office? Libre office? We have options

firefox is cool too

O&O shutup 10

Get it, use it and you’ll love your windows machine.

Also…use brave browser instead of google chrome. or microsoft internet explorer in denial

Fuck amazon.

I like starwars more than any other franchise.

But I’m not going to buy any of the fallen order games for at least 2 years. the bugs will be worked out and the deluxe versions will be a much lower price by then

Did you know there’s people out there that know how to jailbreak all tesla cars?

They can disconnect those cars from the centralized service to keep them from being controlled by the corporation that made them.

those BMW and ford cars that have certain features locked behind a monthly subscription service can be jailbroken too.

You’re not doing anything wrong if you pay to have something you bought modified. If you paid money for it, you own it…I don’t care what the fine print in any ToS has to say. You buy it, it’s yours.

if a scumbag billionaire wants to do it and feels like they can get away with it, they’re going to do it.

if a dozen or so executives at a corporation think they can get away with it, they’ll do it. That’s why there’s microtransactions in $80 games. I still remember hearing about the first $60 games with microtransactions in them and now these fuckers are trying to charge over $100 for an unfinished game where the only things that work in it are from microtransactions.

I have a lot of Native American and Scandinavian…I heard from one of my great grandfathers that my ancestors were some of the first Europeans to come over to this continent…long before Columbus did.

I have a lot of Scandinavian ancestry actually.

Piracy is ethical.

Piracy is wrong and immoral and you should never use mullvad or the two services torguard offers to pirate things.

Never use torguard’s proxy service inside of qbittorrent and never use torguard’s VPN service for everything. It would be very wrong and immoral to steal a tiny amount of a billionaires money! Billionaires deserve our tax dollars, they exploited our governments to get it after all.

I quit school and just lied to every boss I had about having a diploma.

Which makes that one narc we’re all seeing above that much of a loser.

They don’t need to be fighting for that. But they’re doing it anyway

Not that I’d ever pirate anything with the use of the services torguard offers

Using their VPN service for everything would prevent the nanny state from controlling what I see and using their proxy service to torrent would be unspeakablely evil!

Freedom of thought and speech is evil

and having the right to do what you want as an adult is bad!

We need a corporate nanny state to give us permission for things! We’re adults after all.

What a fucking loser.

Go tattle to the billionaires for a cookie

Remember those hallway monitors that got off on having that authority over their classmates?

That narc loser is one of them

Because they’re all the shitty kids you knew in school that would tattle about everything and remind the teacher to assign homework

The kind of kid that if you ever talked back to him when he was talking shit you’d get detention and then he’d have that shit eating smirk on his face because he knows how to play the teachers against you

We’ve all known people like that

Lemmy world also went down several times from a lack of cyber security and at least two other fuckups that caused it to go down

I bet that person was the kid in class that always snitched and reminded the teachers to assign homework

The kind of person who became hall monitor and let it go to their head really fast

The kind of loser that becomes a cop just for the ability to boss people around

The majority of the shows on most of these services suck anyway.

But I have to pay hundreds of dollars per month for every single one of these services…because that’s the moral thing to do when I’m only interested in about 1% of the content on most of these services. And I have to buy the same movies multiple times when one of these services decides for my own good that I don’t own it anymore.

I never torrent or find places to stream these things for free. I would never use mullvad or any of the services offered by torguard to do that. That would be immoral.

Using torguard VPN, and torguard’s proxy service inside of qbittorrent would be extremely immoral and you should never do that!
