If you ever have to do something like this again, rclone supports mounting Google Drive, at which point you’ll be able to work with it as if it’s a proper filesystem.
I don’t know, but a lot of people in this thread seem to suggest that it’s them not being a native speaker that’s the problem.
In my experience it’s actually the opposite, so many native speakers mess up things like your/you’re, it’s insane. Well, any time something is off about the English grammar on the internet, we blame the American education system.
Sometimes it’s funny, though. Like “for all intensive purposes”.
Your advice is falling on deaf ears, I reckon it’s a sentence prediction tool behind the OP account, not a human.
The Japanese: こんにちは！
That’s understandable, pirating is fine, selling pirated content is totally not.
You might try contacting the person who shared those, maybe they’ll still share if you promise not to sell it.
Both NixOS and Gentoo are also addictive as hell, you poke just a couple of things — the next thing you know it’s 3 AM two weeks later and you are recompiling your whole system trying to make it work with Wild linker or something along those lines, laughing maniacally.
I use Gentoo. I very much warn you against using Gentoo.
Something like this?
Have you actually read the thread? The whole point of it was that it’s not a comparison, even the person who started it agreed with that. Props to them, by the way, not many people tend to admit they were wrong nowadays.
I’m all ears for your “debunking”, love. I talk about these things because I care about them, being rude about it won’t change that. If anything, it makes me want to talk about it more.
framing device
That was not my intention at all. I just needed a hypothetical free service that you wouldn’t want to receive despite being of benefit to you.
If you have another example like that, I’ll be happy to replace it with something else, as long as it’s repulsive enough.
Are you arguing that since other terrible things exist, I shouldn’t try to make the world a better place? I can’t exactly see how that’s a valid point.
I suppose you are trying to appeal to the fact that I’m not perfectly morally pure, trying to make it look like whatever I said is automatically invalid? That’s not how it works. If I say both “smoking is bad for your health” and “you should throw needles into sandboxes”, how exactly does the latter statement being utterly horrible affect the veracity of the former one?
And of course I’m trying to minimize my usage of things made via exploitation of others, as in repairing the hardware instead of buying new stuff. It’s just incredibly hard to live in the modern world without mudding yourself somewhere. We judge thieves based on their circumstances and whatever they stole, just being a thief does not make you as bad as the worst one, the world is not black and white like that.
If somebody proposed to build you a house with slave labor free of charge, would you be happy about it?
Since the answer is quite obvious, we can clearly state that even if something is free and beneficial for you, there is a line which you shouldn’t cross.
That out of the way, we now have to figure out where to draw this line. It just so happens that for a lot of people using a technology that actively destroys our environment, makes every computiational device more expensive, literally makes it’s users dumber, and is built with very ethically questionable methods lies beyond the line.
Oh, if that’s not enough, LLMs can kill you if you are psychologically unstable.
God I’m glad I’m not using anything Google…
