Purple is a kind of red to me.

But what about Fortnite and Valorant?

I mean, if you are a designer that needs it but doesn’t know how to download and crack stuff, 12$ might be worth that time.

You don’t. Unless you want your hobby to turn into a 24/7 support job.

You are free to do that… But not in the fucking MEMES community.

Cost and availability.

Most of those laptops cost over 1000€ if not even closer to 2000. And they don’t seem to ship to all countries.

While you can get a good used Thinkpad for 500€ everywhere in the world.

For the love of god can you shut the fuck up about this stuff all the time???

And would it have grown into more than that? Into something that everyone, and not just military and scientists can use?

How would you have communicated without someone owning a server and paying for it? Reddit and other centralized platforms emerged for some reason… You would have to literally make that illegal, i.e. make it illegal to host your own server and let users use it.

You can’t just imagine some fantasy utopia, and compare that to the current system.

Reddit would probably never have existed without capitalism…

For fucks sake… This is literally about an RFID sticker that is put on the outside of whole cheese wheels.

So unless you buy whole 40kg wheel and then eat it with the rind… you are not eating any.

And also fuck that article for even mentioning that.

Ah yes… it is easy as long as you do something difficult first.

Reminds me of that comment on Dropbox where some guy said it’s going to fail because he can easily build something similar with an ftp server.

How else would it work? You need some power structure that actively forbids a free market and private ownership. And that power will sooner or later be abused.

You can’t just imagine some utopia where nobody has to work, and everything is free, and call that communism.

All those channels in the screenshot in this post.

connect it to a 5 TB hard disk (initially) and dump all my data into it

Don’t forget about backups! That 5TB drive can die at any random moment.

Where do those books even come from? And why do the people not just contribute them to libgen instead of locking them behind some obscure tech?
