What always kept me off the “cloud” (other people’s computers) is not only giving up my data but giving up control on what I spend. Corporations lure you in with flashy promises and low prices, then usually over time the service gets worse the prices go higher and higher. I’m sure the cloud hosting corporations are good at pricing their services very high but not quite high enough to make most customers cancel.

He was a crazy guy but his antivirus was legit back in the day. Then corpos took it over and it went to shit.

Yes, before starting a project I like to visualize all parts of it to see if the project is viable and what will be involved.

I see your point. It’s the same sort of thing for various violence around the world. Headlines like “3 die in West Bank Violence” should actually be “Israeli Soldiers Kill 3 Palestinians.”

dan1101 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in What tricks do you use to make sure you eat your daily fruits and vegetables?

I try to sneak them in as part of other meals, even if I don’t like the vegetable. Like if I have a burrito bowl I will put carrots in it along with everything else, or a pizza I will put green peppers on it along with pepperoni.

Fruits I don’t do as well on, if I get frozen yogurt I will get rare fruits like mango, and I drink fruit juice.

I try to eat a variety of foods as much as possible.

I believe 50 Cent should be billed as Cent.

dan1101 , 10 months ago to asklemmy in Do you pirate? And do you justify pirating? i.e., what is your piracy philosophy?

I used to pirate like crazy in my youth. Now since Steam and Netflix I don’t pirate, recognizing that creators deserve to get paid and also by paying them that supports making more content.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Apple took down their store intentionally so there would be headlines about it?
