There are some ski lifts that give lifetime passes. Its used as a cash injection to fund investments rather than lending off an institution that will want their money back.
Sure you’ll want your lifetime video data for free, but I bet there are a bunch of lifetime members that don’t watch much over a lifetime and/or the risk of future video watching outweighs the loan interest they’d have to pay otherwise.
Say something dumb in an IRC channel? Get banned.
The good ol’ days when I was young and irresponsible and got banned for it. I learnt how to converse with people online through this. Talk shit, get banned. I also feel like I forgot some of this on later platforms.
I hated it at the time, but like most learning experiences, grown to appreciate it later. I can’t believe I had free and unmoderated access to the internet’s back in the early 2000s. Shout out to those mods for putting a teenager in their place!
I hope you’re taking steps in the right direction (I mean acknowledge it’s all shit is half it right?). Its taken me a journey over the last 2 years to try and understand it all, and I’m in a better place because of it.
Still don’t understand it all of course, but it feels better knowing I’m not the only insane one.
I know the guy working on makepad is trying to solve this problem along with vr headsets, Apple tv, etc. It’s really painful because of dependency bloat messing with build times so he ended up rewriting a bunch of things 🤷♂️.
Prank bro is a shit head.
But if America had less guns, then the debate over someone losing their freedom changes drastically.
Ah, see that’s where I am going wrong. I don’t engage in any content, but I do code in Rust.
I want to believe, I really do. But people were saying this prior to him winning the first election… And the second.
Let’s just hope he doesn’t get elected 🤞
I reject your reality, and choose to substitute my own. I’m going to remain 36 forever… Please…? 🥺
I think he means that by contributing to the likes of threads legitimises the platform. And when you “create content” there, then you’re essentially doing free labour for the venture capitalists, since their asset is only valuable if people use it.
So, I’ve been running Linux as a desktop for a number of years, never had a problem of it dieing weekly or monthly. I’ve had my share of “ah shit, I should restart because some package updated and tings got a little spooky”, but never out right ded.
In saying that, I’m used to this modus operandi, and how to fix these things, but I’m curious as to why you were having weekly/monthly issues. E.g. were you running the latest distros, and not LTS versions?
A comparison with windows is that they control the whole OS, and on theory everything is LTS. Linux gives you those freedoms, and also those problems if you choose to use them etc.
See, I sometimes complain about having to use a Mac (the hardware is fine, the OS, meh), but you have reminded me that it could be worse. Thanks for your suffering.
What do I do now that I’ve crossed all 9 off in the first scroll?
I’m genuinely curious, why do the points matter?
Yes her!
“Reddit in chaos” haha. Sometimes things are so relative.
The used to have an in house employee that was paid to write up the answers. I forget their name and handle though. But that was axed years ago in favour of the free moderators doing the job.
The cost of person hours is huge though. Whatever the “wage” they would consider for mods would essentially be volunteer slave labour.
I was wondering how it was going to be unhinged. Was somewhat surprised, and I have no other better word than unhinged.
That’s just the case. Not everyone buys lifetime subscriptions. This is a short term cash injection for investment. I don’t know their books, but I doubt the majority of their long term income will come from these lifetime subs.
