We are living in the state of Fuck it.

pretty much sums it all up right there.

i don't deep dive into it enough to be a 'nerd', but i've been using some form or another since the early days of slack and debian.

even though it had shipped with windows, the installer would not detect my ssd for whatever reason.

bios probably defaulted to using a storage mode (like 'raid' or intel's rst) that requires 'f6' drivers loaded during windows setup. solution would have been to either find those drivers or switch bios to 'normal' ahci mode.

i don't use yt much, but it's sure nice to have. i can just drag over or copy/paste urls or video id right from a serp and never have to give google a even single page view.

most the commercial 'free with ads' stuff (like the library of 'hollywood' movies and tv they have) that is wrapped in drm is on or rotates to other free sites (where adblockers or pihole work).

donvict's goon squad is trying to start something that they'll then turn around and blame 'protesters' as they mow 'em all down and haul away those who survive.
