NFTs give you the added "benefit" of conspicuous consumption. People can find out who "owns" a particular bit of digital goo. You have that built-in ability to show off your digital flair.

It's the same with special costumes in video games. It shows that you're unique because you spent money. It's the digital equivalent of a luxury good.

That's why it's doubly-off-putting to me. It's the bullshit luxury crap with the added environment-fucking added to taste.

far too relatable

Also, if you've ever wondered why Karaoke was hugely popular in America in the 90's and lost steam in the 2000's, it is because the music industry (Sony and Warner) sued everyone, including my father's business, so a great deal of the business's money went into pieces of paper in PACER. TL;DR They won and took everything business related and additionally considered going after my dad personally. No more new Karaoke music meant no more popular karaoke songs.

not relying on github is a good lesson to learn from the attack on #youtube-dl.

another lesson is: please avoid supporting the RIAA. you can avoid buying copyrighted music, i do so for ~15 years. donate to artists if you wanna support them.

i guess canceling things like spotify is a good idea as well. maybe they even ask you why. :)

Dear Free Software and Privacy-loving individual,

If you care the slightest bit about freedom of speech, please take 10 seconds of your time to run the following command into your terminal:

git clone https://codeberg.org/polarisfm/youtube-dl

That's it. You're saving a very important piece of internet history that may be necessary later.

Thank you for your attention. Your effort makes the internet a better place.

My dad went to the doc and the diagnosis wasn't good. Can't give details, but he needs to see a neurologist soon. He has an appointment with a geriatrist tomorrow.

Donations appreciated.

Boosts ok.
