When Jeff Bezos could have prevented it by putting in some of his money. What a dick.

NaoPb ,

I guess it’s easier to sit on properties and try to keep profiting off those than it is to make up something new that the kids will like.

Still a dick move though. Gotta keep making new things.

NaoPb ,

I’m reminded that I still need to give that a go sometime.

NaoPb ,

See, while this might be considered not-done, I think they get to decide how they like to eat their food. Even if it offends the rest of us greatly (which it does).

NaoPb ,

Where can we sign up to fuck Bezos? And will there be lube?

I’ll be happy to do my duty and can keep going until he hands over his money so his workers can get paid.

NaoPb ,

What I do with these sometimes is replying to the e-mail itself with a message that has only the text unsubscribe in all caps. Might add that to the subject as well.

Sometimes it works.

NaoPb ,

My thoughts go out to the patients of Seattle Children’s Hospital. What a shitty situation and what a shitty person.

NaoPb ,

I had filled one bag. Then tried to fill the othet with air to open it up, when the filled one broke and everything went out the bottom.

NaoPb ,

Not falling for Debeers ads anymore probably.

NaoPb ,

I’d rather not buttfuck golfers.

NaoPb ,

We could do with less golfcourses. Especially in places where it’s too hot for them to stay green in the summer.

NaoPb ,

I see EA is out of ideas for naming their games, and has started naming their game "DisplayName field¨.

NaoPb ,

I’d volunteer to breathe diesel exhaust. But I suspect I’ve been dropped on the head one too many times when I was a baby.

NaoPb ,

You could care less about that for sure. See what I did there, hehe.

NaoPb ,

I agree, this kid would be a great pentester.

NaoPb ,

This makes me want to download it to snoop around.

NaoPb ,

I had to Google it and what came up seems to be it’s basically a lone wolf but worded by people who also use terms like alpha male.

I may be wrong though.

NaoPb ,

What a creative way to test memory. nice :)

NaoPb ,

At least you have a lot more experience with installing Arch now. Might be usefull when you want to install it on other PC’s.

NaoPb ,

May I ask why you would prefer Arch over others?

I am not too familiar with Arch. It seems interesting to me to play around with it and follow a guide to set it up on one of my pc’s.

NaoPb ,

This one is best for gaming: Windows 11 Gaming Edition

NaoPb ,

Even the trash ones can be a good linux box. Most people just surf the web, look at youtube videos, e-mail and some word processing. Linux can do that with two fingers up it’s nose.

NaoPb ,

Nice. Could probably still host some static pages today.

NaoPb ,

True. Those are slow. I have tried it with a 1b myself.

But those should do things like kodi or pihole just fine.

NaoPb ,

I expect there to be a lot of nagging. MS doesn’t want to miss out on all the Windows 11 licences they can sell with new hardware.

NaoPb ,

I’ll lend you my truck.

NaoPb ,

I’m all for it. Save the hardware.

NaoPb ,

Maybe the prices will become reasonable once again.

NaoPb ,

Not to mention the price of all the resource hogging and handicapping your workflow by changing everything around everytime.

The enshittification of an OS that used to be pretty good. It’s a shame. I haven’t touched Windows for over a year as well.

NaoPb ,

Yes, that should work nicely. It’ll even look the same for the most part.

NaoPb ,

A piece of joke software. You install it in Windows and then it’s like a fake windows with jokes.

NaoPb ,

Neat! I can finally build a house out of computers.

NaoPb ,

Might be good for retro gaming or emulation of older games consoles.

NaoPb ,

Tolkien Estate? What’s that? People profiting off of the work of an author who has been dead for 50 years?

Copyright law is fucked up.

NaoPb ,

Some older dutch movies were released as rentals to the theaters that had to be returned after they stopped playing the movie. These copies were all destroyed and re-releases on DVD now look worse than what it looked like in movie theatres.

The good news is that some theatres hung on to some movies.

NaoPb ,

I don’t know how many might be still be around, but I know for a couple of movies where they are. I don’t think they have been properly archived and/or converted to digital media yet. I would like to see if there are people in The Netherlands that can do these things and if the current owners of the rolls of film are willing to.

NaoPb ,

I understand that at a personal level you would want to share wealth with your children and their children, but that is not what copyright is about. The intention is that the creator gets to make their earnings out of their original product for a limited time only. So that they can continue to make original products and make a living. It is not intended to provide for your family for generations. While this may be what it has become with the help of corporations, in my opinion this is not it’s intended use.

Aside from that I think your works should become public domain after a limited time, prefferedly during your lifetime. So that as much as possible people get to enjoy your original works of art.

You make a good point about generational wealth in business and I think there should be limits to that as well. It doesn’t help the world at all if wealth just stagnates like that and in my opinion it should be shared with those doing the actual work, instead of a select few who were born in it, were extremely lucky, or gained money in immoral ways.

I’ll leave it at that since I am not the right person to go into a discussion with you about all of these things. I do want to thank you for your work and for gifting us with your books entertaining us and giving us an escape of daily problems, expanding our knowledge with educational content or whatever else. Know that you are valued and there are people out there being touched by your work.

NaoPb ,

Yea. But for god’s sake take off the socks before going in man.

NaoPb ,

Yeah it’s all the fault of the rightsholders. Definitely not bad management.

Not that I’m a fan of rightsholders but this is more like shifting the blame.

NaoPb ,

Sounds familiar. I’ve decided to stay alone from now on. All the drama is just not worth it.

NaoPb ,

Good thing my torrent site of choice doesn’t advertise on Xtwitter.

NaoPb ,

Now if only we could read what the signature is supposed to say and find out of they have a webpage of some sort.

NaoPb ,

While videogames are still here, OCR technology has replaced a lot of human word processors.

NaoPb ,

I use it all the time. I have lots of equipent that doesn’t use bluetooth that I connect my phone with.

NaoPb ,

Solid casea are still available and ao are parts without LEDs.

NaoPb ,

I’m planning on making one of those. With maybe a hose to it so I can point it out the window.

Thanks.
