Win + R isn't the terminal but rather the run command.

Ryan McBeth mentioned in his video (13min) them not disclosing receiving funds from a foreign backed entity was, indeed, the legal issue.

Not the point I was making.

This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"

Did Linus blame anyone though?
No. He simply stated a fact.

But that doesn't mean it isn't piracy?

Downloading old Nintendo ROMs because the company refuses to redistribute them is also piracy, even though I would say it's morally justified.

Its protection.

From your point of view, yeah. Not from the point of view of the creator and the platform.

Linus isn't clutching his pearls nor is he crying, he's just pointing out you are circumventing the method of payment to the platform. It is detrimental to both the platform and the creator. That is a fact. Your choice has an impact and you should be aware of that.
But at no point did he say "you're a bad person if you use adblock".

What has got you so worried?

I really don't get the hate he got for that take.

Circumventing the method of payment could be argued as being a form of piracy. From that point of view, adblock is piracy.

Like them or not, YouTube is not a charity and requires the serving of ads to continue funding the service. You could argue about how they go about it, but it's a fact they need some sort of income to continue to exist.
Same goes for YouTubers. They get a percentage of that ad revenue. And they also need some form of income.

But just because he said so doesn't mean he doesn't understand why adblock is used. He didn't say "don't use adblock." He's shown how to use adblock before and since. He's also mentioned that buying something from their webshop gives them a lot more money than turning off adblock.

Saying "watching movies for free is pirating" isn't the same as saying "you shouldn't pirate movies".
Using adblock isn't engaging with YouTube on YouTube's terms.

Magnetic field ≠ electric field

The issue often is that, just because it's outwardly frowned upon, it doesn't mean it won't happen behind closed doors.

Which isn't to say any of your relatives are bad people, but a culture where speaking up is frowned upon encourages victims to hide their abuse.

It does have back buttons, which is why it's unlikely to launch in the west as Scuf (owned by Corsair) is a major patent troll when it comes to those. That's also the reason for the original Steam controller no longer being released.

The Hori one is launching at the end of this month, if I recall correctly. I might look into importing it once it does.

People have caught onto what they really mean by "anti-sjw", so they've moved onto the next buzzword. And then the next, and the next.

Whatever it takes to keep their plausible deniability in front of the media that they aren't simply racist. Gotta keep that mainstream appeal.

It's the latest anti-sjw boogeyman
