You pay it by buying new hardware.

My 2013 macbook pro with 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB SSD has been deprecated by apple so the latest OS it gets is Big Sur, it has now been barred from signing updates (since they require the latest XCode which I cannot get with Big Sur) so its only viable life is via Linux from now on.

I have had to buy a Mac Mini with 8 GB of RAM and a 250 GB SSD to be able to upload updates for my iOS apps.

I mean I can afford it, but yeah, we are paying for OS updates dude.

That's the reason they also updated their EULAs to set a minimum renting period of 24hs for providers like Amazon and MacStadium. They want you buying hardware, they don't want to leave any easy way out.

Google has banned whole accounts of some users for copy pasting comments on Youtube chat (similar to what people do on Twitch).

I wouldn't gamble on it.

PSA: skirting their attempts to block ad blockers if you have a Google account you would rather keep may be unwise.

Google has been known for banning people for stupid crap, and this checks all the boxes.

While they were silent on this topic there was a gentlemen's agreement that you could block ads. But now that they have voiced their opinion the jig is up.

I'd recommend people to use an alternative account if they are going to block anyway and they want to keep their gmail.

The complete opposite. I accussed them of being pleased when these things happen as they get to campaign against guns with it, not because they want kids safe, but because they get a self-righteous hard-on when doing it.

that doesn't even buy top shelf fresh organic shit

only preprocessed canned shit shipped from who knows where.

Well of course you can do it quickly with vim. Regardless, my suspicion is that OP deleted the lines manually, hence the need to mention it a couple of times. Otherwise, why would they even mention something you can do with grep in a literal second.

you mentioned it twice so I fear the worst, please tell me you didn't remove 14000 lines manually using a text editor.

disney isn't the only one funding movies.

your regular $15m arty pantsy black and white movie isn't paid for the mouse.

there isn't a finite amount of film, why not let people who enjoy superhero movies watch superhero movies? why are these fucking directors compelled to curate what the industry produces? I'm guessing he got his budget rejected and blamed action flicks.

this is not audio specific but just an FYI, reinstalling does nothing on an updated system unless the program files were corrupted somehow, which is not normal.

to really reinstall a program from scratch you have to use apt-get purge or apt purge to ensure that global configurations files are removed, and pay attention to the logs printed out because some files may not be removed.

then, you have to manually delete your user configuration files for those programs, or create a new user un your computer to test it out first to see if user config files are generating any troubles.
