These are all great examples. And sometimes, you just start your own, like inviting a few neighbors to a cookout.

Too early to say, but assume Social Security and Medicare/aid are fair game.

So good. Now let’s eat Grandma.

Don’t know much about proxmox, but I know that Hyper-V tries to create every VM with Secure Boot turned on, and every Linux distro I’ve tried won’t boot the installer like that.

Maybe double check the settings of the VM.

In this day, I’m pretty sure the entirety of the middle class and below would if they could.

It’s handy for things like learning languages or remembering medical terminology. And if you can couple it with mnemonics, it can be more effective than simply reading.

I use it, but not consistently. That’s mostly my fault, though. The app is really easy to use, generally, and you can really get into the weeds of settings if you want.

Mostly, though, I just use the defaults and that’s good enough for my needs.

Free Flashcard app. It’s been around for many years, and there’s lots of extensibility and free card decks.

Yawn. Is this what we’re doing, now? Virtue signaling and ragebaiting when somebody doesn’t explicitly support piracy?

This isn’t a controversy. Mark’s entire business is tied up in YouTube, and promoting piracy is against their ToS; he could lose his channel for that.

Looks like the previous version only had two positive hits on VirusTotal, according to comments, whereas this newest version has 29.

Some said the previous version is still available. I don’t really have skin in the game, so nobody should take my advice without doing your due diligence.

Right, but that’s exactly it. It’s still only just anecdotes and subjective claims. It might be that it’s indeed a valid form of treatment, but the evidence we have doesn’t seem to point to that as a rational conclusion.

Whatever you personally experience might in fact be a placebo effect or confirmation bias.

Studies are currently inconclusive on the efficacy of Binaural Beats. According to this meta analysis, five corroborate BB, and eight do not.

So it’s still woo until studies consistently fail to disprove that BB does anything.

The gears of justice grind slowly but finely.

Added to my wishlist! Good luck!

From one artist to another: if you don’t absolutely love what you’re doing and know 100% what you’re going to do with your degree, get out now.

If you like fashion design, learn how to do it as a hobby first, and get a degree in something with actual opportunities. If you get really good at fashion design, you can build a portfolio and pivot to that, but as someone who struggled with an art degree, it can set you back for years if you don’t have a reliable plan.

And if you have a reliable degree and later find that you don’t want to do fashion anymore, you’ll still have that reliable fallback as you move onto other hobbies.

I have to wonder how long they can run on community goodwill. With handhelds like the Steam Deck and similar, surely it’s gotta be only a matter of time until they have to change or die.

Naturally. I can hope for it, but I would never expect them to counter-sue. They’re the person harmed, so they get to decide what justice looks like for them, and sometimes people just want to go back to normal.

Sanctions are really the only thing the judge has at their disposal, and I doubt Nintendo’s lawyers are dumb enough to get sanctioned.

Go for it, Nintendo. Emulation has already been proven in courts to not be sufficient evidence for wrongdoing. Also:

However, its latest move feels particularly heavy-handed, as it has issued a copyright strike against a YouTube channel that reviews emulation handhelds.

Go fuck yourself. I hope you get hit with an anti-SLAPP across your litigious faces.

Also, I feel like they kinda deserve it for being global vexatious litigants and squashing free fan projects at every opportunity.

That’s kind of my thought as well. It’s certainly possible someone might go through the effort to find a single pirate downloading The Lion King, but that’s a lot of effort (read: money) to find just one person.

There’s certainly the possibility that an ISP could note that you connected to a VPN, but given that it’s not a remarkable event, since people connect to VPNs for all kinds of legal reasons, they aren’t likely to track your particular IP’s connection to a VPN apart from a court ordering them to care. They get paid their monthly internet plan price whether someone pirates or checks their email.

If someone was running the Pirate Bay from their home servers, however, more parties would likely be interested in finding that person, and that person’s threat model probably exceeds just using a logless VPN.
