This is a valid preference I'm and tired of pretending it's not. Vagina, penis, doesn't matter. I am attracted to feminine features and a penis doesn't get in the way of that.

Me too. Gimp is awesome. I can do everything I want and more really easily. I just don't get the hate. Photoshop is cancer, it's slower than Gimp and it's not even worth pirating. It hurts Adobe more if you use open source alternatives.

HP can go fuck themselves

Imagine hosting an event so lame that it makes international news solely because of how incredibly lame it was. Just damn.

You can pirate media that uses that new blu ray drm by plugging a capture card into the overpriced compatible DVD player and recording the video. Also, it's a way to transfer saved content from a dvr as their hard drives are always encrypted (do those still exist). The video stream on all this stuff is encrypted with hdcp to prevent this but there exist hdcp strippers. It seems to still be possible to buy them even on Amazon. Stock up before they get banned. Frankly I'm surprised they aren't banned already.

Your choice

I hope they actually end up calling it the Very Big Disc (tm)

The only disadvantage of display port that I can think of is that it's harder to find capture devices (or at least Linux compatible ones) that have display port. Generally no one cares about that stuff though. I use capture cards because I sometimes do stuff involving other computers and it's 1000 times more convenient to have a vlc window floating around with the display output.

No one seems to have this use case besides me, I'm just glad that there exist capture cards fast enough to do playback in real-time and not a 5 second delay. I don't stream.

I don't really subscribe to the whole if civilization collaspes there will be no technology in anyone's lifetime again thing. You aren't going to go back to ordering shit off amazon from your smartphone or anything. However the knowledge that things like refrigeration, radio transmission, internal combustion engines, water treatment and such are possible is going to drive people to eventually find out how to get it by any means necessary.

How quickly this happens is a question of whether the majority of people adopt a "technology is too dangerous/a sin against God" idealogy or not.

The soil where I live is only good enough for 5.25in floppy plants to grow.

OK fine. I just went outside and poked at the grass for several minutes. Now what?
