Here will rest a series of topics that didn't really fit on other pages of this website.
I hope you find them educational, informative, or maybe even insightful.
Paying for software is retarded.
The idea of paying for something so intangible and (99% of the time) useless to our every day lives is a joke.
If a program (yes, i said program. IT IS NOT AN APP. NOTHING ON YOUR COMPUTER IS A FUCKING APP.
APPLE COINED THE TERM "APP" AND IT HAS MADE EVERYONE ILLITERATE) is
truly profound or preforms outstandingly, then donations should be made possible to support the developer(s) alone for a number of reasons:
1: Donations received don't have to be taxed. Win-win for the developer(s) and the charitable soul.
2:Donations sent up to 100$ are tax exempt, meaning they can be written off on your tax forms. That is free money you get back. FIAT is a joke.
3: Donations are not scamming anyone.
The way I see it, begrudgingly paying 80$+ for a windows key is a scam, but willingly donating 80$+ to someone who made a program that quadruples your productivity is not.
By purchasing software, you never truly have access to the source code. So do you really own the program?
To better explain my point I will use the analogy of how transactions of physical goods typically go:
If I buy a coat, I may alter it as I please.
The coat is something I transferred one article of property (currency) for another (the coat) to be granted ownership of the item.
With the vast majority of paid software, you truly don't own it. You can't alter it.
You can't even audit the source code to verify it isn't spying on you. It's a scam.
Additionally, pirated software runs better than the commercially available versions.
In all Adobe crapware, there are license verification background checks running every 5 seconds, if not more frequently.
This non-stop license verification process causes the software to consume tremendously more computational resources.
Cracked versions of Adobe software strip this license verification process entirely.
Pirated versions of Photoshop run like a totally new program. Everything is more responsive and most of the annoying hangs/freezes disappear entirely.
Ironic, Isn't it?
Search engines are useless.
How many times have you done a web search and the top 15-40 results are all a little too strikingly similar to each other?
Those websites are written by bots. It's quite easy to tell this because they all use the same HTML schemes, poor grammar, and are constantly trying to hustle you some software instead of providing the information you asked for.
The internet died the moment it became politicized and commercialized.
Look into "dead internet theory" for more information. That shit isn't a theory dog.
Search engines are completely useless in the modern world.
Nearly all search results are omitted/skewed towards an agenda orchestrated by political/financial elites to better suit their ideologies or profit margins.
Almost all modern search provide nothing but bot websites written by a terrible algorithm covered in ads trying to sell you malware/spyware.
Usually the ad trying to sell the malware will have the same exact product name within the URL of the website.
There are more bot websites than actual websites written by real people.
I do not consider algorithms or AI written websites to be real.
Indexes only early web design sites. Very useful for finding information on certain topics when the other search engines fail
Recommended search engines:
Wiby - Only indexes web 1.0 websites. This is a very simple method of avoiding the current botnet slop modern search engines enforce.
Startpage - A privacy oriented search engine that doesn't spy, track, log, omit results, advertise, or MKULTRA you
Millionshort - Interesting Search Engine Project
Searx - a meta-search engine with granular search features.
