Just give it a few copy paste cycles.

Eventually it’ll look like someone took a picture of it on a 1987 camera in low light and put it on their TV full screen and took another picture of that with a 4k camera, then compressed it to 500kb.

The videos are not very relevant to the topic of privacy and our freedom.

Today it might be “extreme anarchy: how to make homemade bombs and guns”. On the surface, its a great idea, go stop those people.

However, next year it could be something rediculous like “how to rip CDs”. Clearly you must be pirating, time to fine you $500 or put you through a more costly legal battle trying to prove grandpa’s 20 years of CDs were all obtained legally. Wow look at all the free money we just made because most will eat the $500 over hiring a lawyer. What else can we “fine” for?

The idea that the government could use your internet history against you, with no other factors, is as absurd as wire tapping someone and waiting for them to say something they don’t like.

Agreed. Its a list. Anyone can make a list of people. They can even put people they’ve never met on the list.

I can make a list, put your name on it, label “bad people” and leave it for the FBI to find. Does that prove you’re bad?

For those who have truley committed the crimes suggested by the “list”, I vote for a beheading (not the one attached to the neck).

There’s the normal suck, then there’s “I (been there 12 years) got passed up for promotion to replace my boss who retired because the owner’s nephew who worked with us for a few years (sucked and “volentarely” left 6 years ago) decided their cyptoscheme wasn’t working out and needed a job, and that was the highest one paying one avalible.”

Or the "Sally got verably harassed dailiy and they did nothing because the harrasser has been there 30 years. ‘He’s just an old man in his early 50s, older gentlemen call ladies nicknames like sweetcakes, honey, or cutie all the time. They also like to rub peoples shoulders to show affec to help relive the tension and promote a healthier work environment’ "

The search and thread managment would be a nightmare, no? You’d need a thread for every company (larger ones needing multiple split by department or location).

That ‘article’ is garbage. The headline is more imformative than the actual article.

Who puts "ahem, in an informational article?

Also how is “patent licensing” a part their new buisness. They submit patents for whatever they’re doing just like everyone else.

Any store that gives you access to the actual downloads is the way to go.

iTunes is suprisngly good about this - on a PC. Wherever the library folder is, you can just copy the files to your phone’s music folder (You might have to convert them from m4a to mp3 first). (You can also export ituens playlists to transfer them)

bandcamp, and amazon are good alts to itunes. (Not prime music, search for a song or album and buy the mp3 version just as if your buying anything else).

I do hope in time more niche communities will pop up. As long as people stay active, the less lazy (or those with more free time) will make the little communities we miss.

Dont worry, I tried it and it’s not well thought out. After taking an absurd amount of time to set up, it only works with the amazon store or sketchy 3rd party tools to let you side load.

It’d be a lot better if the paired up with Google play store, so purchased apps actually transfer and allowed side loading out of the box.

Probably no. But in a perfect better world we wouldn’t be tied to app stores at all.

With these guns storage laws, don’t forget to hold gun safe manufactures responsible for selling ones that can be opend with a spoon. Lock Picking Lawyer

I say about a $10 million fine per unit sold with vulnerabilities that allows it to be opened non-destructivly (or minor cosmetic damage) without touching the lock mechanism.

$10 million if it can opened by sticking any object in the key way and it opens

$5 million if it requires a lock pick set, but can be opened by a noive in less than a minute.

$15 million if it uses a master lock.

Seem fair?

I use Spytify, so I “download” my songs real time in the background. If anything it makes me more intentional about what I do grab. Grabbing the entire discography of an artists may take a day, so a little pre-veting is necessary. you find out why some of the big names only have 1 or 2 hits out of a hundred, but you also find some great songs that didn’t make it.

I’ll usually aquire a few albums at a time. I’ll give each song a quick pass (jumping to random parts) to determine the following

  1. is the song awful and/or nothing like what the artist normally does = Delete.
  2. is there dead space (a really long start/end of silence) or random talking/noises = trim
  3. is it the volume stupidly loud/quiet compared to other songs = fix*
  4. stupid rap section in the middle for no reason (thank god that trend is basically gone) = cut
  5. what playlists does it belong in?

*I use MP3Gain for bulk volume adjustment, it does pretty good and is non-destructive, though not every player respects the adjustment (a tag in metadata or something)

I don’t catch everything doing this, mostly because I spend a few seconds on each song, but it does filter out a lot.

Sometimes it takes a few listens to decide “I dont like this song” - delete.

I’m not a completionist (or try not to be) for albums/artists. If I don’t like the song, its gone. If there’s one part of a whole that I don’t like, its chopped out.

helpImTrappedOnline ,

Spytify

It records Spotify music real time, at the highest available bit rate (as long as you set it). Uses Spotify API to pull track metadata and album art. Its smart enough to not records ads and auto deletes tracks under 30 seconds (I think you can change the time)

It’s slower than YouTube DL, but having all the metadata sorted out for you is a big plus.

Its probably about 98% error free, sometimes a second of a song ending gets put on the next track. A quick cut/paste in Audacity and it’s fixed.

It works best if you have a separate audio device, otherwise other computer sound gets recorded too. I’m not going to do a full tutorial (unless someone asks), but basically you set the audio for Spotify on audio device #2, and continue as normal on audio device #1. It has a loopback feature too, so if you want to listen/record the same time you can.

Yes, it is still a thing to be concerned about. Perhaps the method of handing out free usbs is less common now. If there’s a drive lying around in public, don’t plug it in.

A new name brand 64gb usb costs around $10. The free ones are usually 2 to 8gb and a probably a 50¢ micro SD card. Free usbs go in trash.

helpImTrappedOnline ,

Sounds like an SD card, did they make any drives less than 2gb back in 2016?
