Windows 11 doesn't force you do any of that. Just skip the sign in. Your points were valid in 8/10 era but no more.

I saw an interview of a professional on this matter. Unfortunately I don't remember his name but the points he made were thought provoking.
Today we consume more and faster media than ever, but few people ever spent all their time reading alone quietly or even watched TV focusing solely on the program. We listen to radio or a have conversation simultaneously. Our hunter-gatherer ancestors listened to each other's stories while doing small tasks in their homes. Conversations between people flow and change subjects constantly. Almost like TikToks.
The point is that it's nothing new that we engage in a combination of activities and like to surround ourselves with multiple or fast paced sources of information and stimulation.
My personal view is that TikToks being short or fast paced isn't an issue. But there are other aspects that worry me. Social media videos cause many people to develop various degrees of parasocial relationships with the creators, and the content satisfies the need for actual relationships and can make real life and people seem boring.
Stick to Windows. Linux is fine for IT pros and as a hobby. For graphic design with Adobe I just don't see your productivity would be the same.
Ooh is Lemmy a some sort of rodent? Lemming? I seriously thought that Lemmy is a stupid reference to Mr. Kilmister lol
That would be so good
Yep, if you can daily any linux distro but struggle to install Windows it's an attitude issue. Windows 11 is arguably the most user friendly OS ever made.
Storage isn't nearly as expensive as it would seem looking at normal consumer cloud storage pricing. I think they also clear the cache of truly obscure content after a while. And I also think some of the "cached" content isn't even stored on their own servers, but is actually streamed from one of the 3rd party direct download services. That would ease the storage and traffic load massively.
When you stream something, the link to the file is automatically added to your RD account. You can use that link to download the file. Or you can skip the streaming part and just add stuff to your library and download them.
The illegal activity in question is not implementing stricter measures of preventing under 13 year olds of using the service without a parent's consent. I really wonder how it's possible to verify a kid's parent's consent in the first place. I guess Facebook and others manage to do that but I have no idea how.
I've wondered if Real-Debrid actually is German made too. The dash in the name gives that vibe.
Someone pointed out that Pro version still doesn't require sign in. I've only dealt with Pro and didn't know it's different than Home in this thing. Sorry for being overly confident.
What makes you think that a global crisis would reduce humanity to tribes and clans? Isn't it more likely that desperate times result in something more like a global government and more systematic enslavement of humans? How could the owning class ever pass on the opportunity of not having to work and instead utilize their workers as efficiently as possible?
Real-Debrid logs your all data. If they're ever hacked or cracked down by police, you can be in danger. In many countries there's a risk of heavy fines if you get caught pirating media.
I just can't believe you could wear a flowy floral print summer dress and be considered a dependable guy by everyone. Some cultures put such an high effort to preserve their old ways that I can't see that going away in 100 years, or even 300 years. The rest of us unfortunately have to play by their rules and taboos.
What's the point of self hosting?
It's the most commonly spoken (Western) language that uses a lot of compound words with and without dashes. I always tend to think there's a German speaker involved when I see dashes used in English where a native English speaker wouldn't use a dash, hah.
I love and consume lots of coffee but I sincerely believe it only tastes good because I associate the taste with the boost it gives. Exactly like cigarettes taste tolerable, good even, when you smoke them regularly.
Oh I never realised Apple OS naming moved past OSX. They don't seem to use version numbers a lot in their marketing anyway.
You fail to acknowledge that only a tiny fraction of PC users do anything resembling coding. The average user never ever needs a markdown editor or a C compiler.
Ah I'm sorry I've installed Win11 on several computers but they've all been Pro version. I didn't know that Home is different.
Aha, I always thought reboot and remake mean the same thing
Ah okay now I understand too.
I like to choose my own country in the VPN, I think it's the best bet for connection stability. Contract wise I don't think Real-Debrid cares at all what your IP is, so many people fake it anyway.
Hmm I didn't even notice the price would vary based on your location. Are you at https://real-debrid.com/ for sure?
I really don't know what they'll do if you use the service from an IP unrelated to the location you selected when you pay.
Yep, I also think that a sizable portion, even most 12 year olds are more tech savvy than their guardians. It makes no sense trying to keep under 13 year olds from using services like tiktok. The laws requiring parental consent are good willing but don't serve their purpose like intended. We should just focus on making mass media safe for children.
It's fun to say this, but at least BM is really able to do their main job and preserve the artifacts.
There's dozens of cases where the original sites have been looted or destroyed by the origin country's own leaders.
Storing the artifacts outside of the influence of an area's internal issues is actually really wise. The BM's real wrongdoing is not paying anything for the artifacts they've took. I argue they've done enough good to offset that a little. They're bad but not the worst.
Yup... Sushi is the most popular bad tasting food.
I finally managed to familiriaze myself with it a week ago. Fucking awesome is what it is. In simplest terms Real-Debrid caches torrents so you can stream them from their servers instead of downloading the torrent. The cache is massive and expands constantly because any time something isn't cached already, it is cached when someone wants to watch it.
I use Stremio with Torrentio addon, it just works. The user experience is much like any legal streaming services.
Real-Debrid conceals your traffic from your ISP by using HTTPS, but the service does keep track of your IPs. It's best to create the account using an email untraceable to you, pay for the service with crypto or paysafecard and always use a VPN when logging in to the site or streaming. There's always a slight possibility that someone manages to hack into the service and use your data against you, so don't provide them any traceable data.
Real-Debrid costs 3...4 dollars per month, it's not expensive. The free or cheaper alternatives are not good. A good VPN is another 3...4 dollars so combined it's still cheaper than using a regular streaming service. I very much recommend getting into it, just remember to cover your ass.
PS. Real-Debrid caches torrents from like 20 different torrent sites and once they're cached it doesn't matter how many seeders the original torrent has. That means for example that you can stream stuff that wouldn't even be available on the torrent sites you know or use.
