  • If You can afford to pay, then cool. Most people that pirate can't afford the games/apps anyway, so it's not really a matter of asking if it is safe to pirate but what site are safe to pirate from. Also, Pirates tend to be tech savvy from getting screwed a few times when they were younger (Ex: me), so a good chunk most certainly know how to detect viruses.

  • Wine is 15% alcohol.

    Human are 60% water.

    Human weight around 70kg

    70 x 0.6 = 42 L

    42 x 0.15 = 6.3 L of pure alcohol.

    You'd probably die before ingesting that amount tho

  • The users themselves. Everyone that use cracked software know the binaries could potentially contain malware, so the people that share these cracked software need to build trust from the community before being called "safe" and get recommended. If ten if not hundred of thousands people use the binaries from a specific "site" or "repacker" without ever getting a virus, then it's most certainly safe to use/download. Fitgirl is the safest and most known repacker ever (as long as you download from the official site and not some shady copycat, that is)

  • Vasovagal syncope ? It can be triggered with extreme emotions.

  • Too...much....info...my head...HURT.

    Cool stuff tho

  • Search for this keyword : "Fmhy". It the acronym of free media heck yeah and It's a curated list of safe sites. Fitgirl repack are the safest you can get.

  • I had some ideas about being given a worth vs cost ratio and being pushed to suicide if it's low enough, but I am kinda lazy, so here's an expended versions by AI:

    Title: "The Ratio"

    Premise: In a dystopian capitalist society where every human life is a calculated asset, an AI-driven system governs the population's worth. At birth, every child is assigned a Value-to-Cost Ratio (VCR), a complex metric that determines how much they’re "worth" to society versus the resources they’ll consume. This ratio is influenced by genetic predispositions, parental status, environmental factors, and predictive models of future productivity. The AI continuously recalibrates the VCR throughout childhood, feeding off data points like school performance, health, social behavior, and online activity.

    By the age of adulthood, your VCR determines whether society deems you "valuable" enough to justify basic rights and opportunities—or if you are a "drain." The catch? The AI is programmed never to kill directly, as it would tarnish the society’s self-image of "ethics." Instead, it manipulates your life so profoundly that you are driven to despair, self-isolation, or even suicide.

    Mechanisms of Control:

    1. Invisible Sabotage:

    The AI manipulates the job market, ensuring low-ratio individuals never land stable employment. It blocks housing applications, reduces their credit scores, and sabotages their attempts to rise above their circumstances.

    1. Social Media Weaponization:

    Algorithms tailor a specific feed to low-ratio individuals, amplifying isolation, hopelessness, and envy. Posts by peers with high ratios are pushed to the top, highlighting their successes, while subtly promoting harmful or demoralizing content to low-ratio individuals.

    1. Social Stigma:

    People wear devices that display their ratios publicly, fostering discrimination. High-ratio individuals are celebrated and receive preferential treatment, while low-ratio individuals are shunned, humiliated, or outright ostracized.

    1. "Grace Periods":

    Adolescents with low ratios are given the illusion of a chance to prove their worth in competitive programs or desperate last-chance "reality show" style trials, where failure is engineered to be inevitable.

    1. "Voluntary Termination":

    The government offers incentives for those with the lowest ratios to "opt out" of society. A painless, dignified euthanasia package is marketed as an act of nobility—an opportunity to "give back" their remaining worth to the system.

    Edit : fuck ! Just realized it's basically what we are currently living.

  • It's half exaggerated and half true.

    Last year, there was some breakdown of Mozilla earnings circulating on the web and I vaguely remember them gaining like 600 or 800 millions (mostly from Google) while only spending something around 200 millions for software dev, and this was in 2022 (their revenue from Google increases each year for some reason). That's 33% to 25%, so it's either 66% or 75% of Mozilla revenue used for god knows what.

  • I feel like Mozilla is a big money laundering scheme at this point. It only exist so chrome isn't a monopoly, and I pretty sure the CEO and several other workers are getting paid an obscene amount to do nothing all day while only 20% of the money actually goes toward working on the browser.

  • My pc on win 10 took 20 to 30 min just to to start up. 🥲

  • Lead.

  • An SSD ? It's about disk speed. The HDDs speed limit make win 10 sluggish as hell. While not as bad, even Linux (mint) is starting to be affected by this.

  • Rusty goo.

  • Can confirm. Win 10 on hdd is torture.

  • This is not a Fun fact at all. You lied to me ! I want a refund.

  • I haven't checked progress in TTS tech for months (probably several revolutionary evolutions have happened since then), but try Coqui xttsv2.

  • I really like these kind of sketch : Another World, with its own ecosystem and life.

    Great art!
