In the last 24 hours they put 2 drops in the front of my yard... It basically looks like a small manhole cover on my lawn in the front. I notice the flyer says offer valid until 5/31... today is the 21st... I can't see them having this ready within 10 days..

I assume you have a good story behind this

I'm closing in on 50, so I remember my 14.4 modems! I had aol! I don't use steam even when shower, if I do it would be too hot! Honestly I only play 2 games, they are both for MS-DOS and I'm an avid linux user. Rather than play new fancy games I reverse engineer and modify old ones. My executables are like 1mb each. I am learning x86 dissasembly.

Thank you to everyone that has been replying! When I say I "haven't had a problem with comcast" I mean I wasn't targeted for sharing anything. I had 1 letter back in like 2019 sent when I downloaded a fresh episode of a popular tv show. Besides that- never, but I'm not a good model because I don't like anything new, popular or hollywood.

I don't really torrent much, and would use a vpn if I did anything I would worry about- however I do leave my computer up most of the time sharing a ton of old music on soulseek. I have never had a problem.

I don't even use adobe products (I am pure open source) but this makes me want to share this with others just to see adobe burn in hell

That's OK- I don't think there is anything I want to see anyways. When my mom comes to visit I usually just get a VPN and spend some of the time together watching whatever new movies she knows about (that which I pirate for her) but I am rarely impressed with the stuff and usually just fall asleep. My last TV was the heavy kind it takes 2 people to lift. I sold it and my DVD player on craigslist for 5$ each- then went and spent the 10$ on pizza and breadsticks at little ceasars.

I haven't had a TV in about 20 years, but from what I understand they are all "smart" and need the internet these days. If I decided I wanted one, most certainly wouldn't want something that could go online.

Now- I would love a nice 60 inch display to play my MS DOS games on though- that would be sweet!

I use yt-dlp in the linux command line environment to download a playlist of thousands of videos of retro video game music. I can have it download the audio, convert to mp3, and only process the stuff that I haven't downloaded (if I update the playlist and add new stuff). It's very powerful.

See- now I would love to be able to run something like Autocad2000 (Yes I know it's OLD) on Linux. I learned Autocad for 2d drawings when I was young and still use it today. For modern 3d stuff, I use FreeCAD (open source). I design my own circuitboards and always find autocad more useful for this. This is why I run a dual boot linux/windows-7

Super proud to see that someone has the mentality to do this!

Am I the only one around here that wants to see them burn in hell just out of principle?
