true. because they scam people into thinking they would add privacy.

you are not wrong, but this also applies to VPN services. (their defense is as good as the sharehosters are useful for downloading Linux ISOs) and without using any of those proxy services, the lawyers get rich on my money, not the artists either

If you go to any other country in the world and see someone waving their flag you just think

not in Germany. our flag is clearly used by the far right mainly. and by football (soccer) fans during international events.

i personally use a provider for that. i just download torrents to their cloud and get it at maximum speed from there. so I don’t have to worry about p2p risks or being online a lot. I’m with premiumize, but there are others I guess.

as per your link:

Origin While many believe the quote originated from the video game Duke Nukem 3D, it actually comes from the 1988 movie

so I guess you’ll supply more evidence.

[or] what are you waiting for? Christmas?

But GNU Affero GPL allews commercial exploitation but forces the exploiter to publish the source of any changes - or am I mistaken?

I admit I had to look it up, but Duke Nukem, in a horrible misquote/steal said: “It’s time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of gum.” So not only did he get the order of actions wrong, but messed with the opening as well :D

Also I thought Duke Nukem never released!!

i came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass.

this is the correct order of intended actions if this is meant as a citation.

i came here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. and I’m all out of bubblegum.

i liked the start, but it got weaker over time.

downvoted for whining, not for your opinion. just to clarify :p

I’m just making it up as I type, but I’d say it’s within the iso frame but more specific

And, btw, the Android thing also doesn’t affect anyone without gapps. Chill out.

so only 99% are affected, that really calms me down.

Many services that are connected to finance/payment require gapps, car sharing, banking etc.

you are right about secure boot, but this was rolled out with proper alternative routes from the beginning. i did not see anything like this for Android at this time

Founders: Steve Huffman Aaron Swartz Alexis Ohanian

just last month there was news about some changes in Android that will make it harder for alternative distributions… go figure

systemd-vim gave me nightmares, thanks!!

you can still start a shell or /sbin/init from within vim, in the odd case you’d need it!

die lassen wirklich nicht viel aus beim scammen, wenn sich das alles als wahr bestätigt… muss gleich mal schauen ob da mein alter Chef irgendwie beteiligt ist 😀

In the US, the middle class generally encompasses households earning between two-thirds and double the national median income. For 2023, the median household income was $77,719, putting the middle class range between roughly $52,000 and $155,000.

now we have income vs earned/taxed 10mm.

155k pa puts you in the 22% federal tax bracket, since it’s progressive let’s assume 16% tax over all your income, this leaves you with 140k. and this is the upper end of the middle class. not just somewhere within.

if you just spend your 10mm at 140k pa it would last 71 years. okay, inflation is a bitch, but still …

if you put it in some ETF you usually beat inflation with about 8.5% pa, which is taxable I guess. but it’s only the gain you pay tax on off course.

so if you make 8.5% of 10mm and lose 3% to inflation, and tax 16% on the remaining gains you are left with 3.9% (=390k) after taxes pa to all eternity.

so unless you assume all variables worst case (living in most expensive city, getting divorced every year etc) I’d call 10mm way above middle class

and these numbers are fur 10mm, not 100.
