I can't believe we're losing another good resource for downloading our stuff, it's a sad time to enjoy technology, the internet's sucking harder and harder the older I get, and I don't see it getting much better in the future, heck, I think it'll get even worse considering it seems to be the track record. I still miss Emuparadise, The Eye, so many decent places in the past, even the IA is way worse nowadays.

Why do good /tech/ things always have to end so soon?

I think this is big enough deal to merit pulling it out of the 'news' page into its own thread. If you don't know what's going on, a bunch of states have pulled a fast one on us and are trying to/have passed age verification laws in various states in the U.S. on the operating system level.
- Lunduke's Journal has been having a spree providing updates on it ( lunduke.substack.com )
- I made my own page to try to keep track on what you can do. Please think about sharing it (or something): https://websitereview.neocities.org/ageverification
- Reclaim the Net has a campaign trying to counter it https://reclaimthenet.org/age-verification
- The EFF has a campaign https://www.eff.org/issues/age-verification .
I've included some minor links suggested by >>18007 and >>18008 . Please keep in mind I'm a moron and don't know what I'm doing, but felt something should be done here. Please share your own sites, updates, and thoughts on the situation.

Economists will still be like "Tarriffs are bad" after reading shit like this. Like bro, just let the tech companies pay tariffs or an offshore tax or smth instead of doing this regulatory guessing game bullshit. At least the country gets revenue out of it, and there's some amount of transparency, honesty, and decency about it; and the host country also doesn't have to pay for an army of regulators and enforcement.
Instead we live in this world where every economic bloc has domestic regulatory protection, and then every neoliberal economist sits back and pretends that economic protectionism doesn't exist/free trade exists because tariffs are so low. Meanwhile U.S. tech companies pay gigantic fees to the EU to help prop up its regulatory apparatus. Give me a break.

>Anyways, sorry to hear about your country man. 
It's fine, one of the few good things of living among retards is that most government institutions are too incompetent to work, they wish they could censor and ban like China, but they mostly block a few DNSs. It's not like they are chasing normal people, there are too much criminals for them to care about.
The only way of you getting in trouble is going openly on social media with your real life profile posting shit like "I'm going to kill someone and bomb a place". Hell, if you kill someone here and have a good lawyer you still could get 4-5 free days (per year) out of prison and never came back.

I think here is one of the few countries you can go fully anonymous if you want it. There a lot of cities with nearly 200k pop where you can live normally and just 2h-3h of bigger cities. You could buy a house, car, internet, a cellphone with little trail and only money. Worst case if you have no fear, go to a favela where you have no address and live with fully stollen internet provided by local drug lords.

>And sorry for being selfish, but if you got any tips to keep that shit from happening here, we'd love to hear it.
Really troubling, personally, I think democracy can't work without eventual violence. You need disruption from time to time, like war, steal someone's land, companies, resources, etc.
Voting won't change, all parties are corrupt in a literal cabal of baby killing, eating and fucking.
Protesting wont work. They've shutdown organizing ever since ((( wall street  ))) directed the rage against them to other groups like now people are just mad at each other for frivolous things like social media ragebaits.

Look at US, the population happily put spy cams and mics 24/7 connected on their doors all from Ring/Amazon, inside their homes with smart assistants (mostly Amazon/Google), and just now are annoyed that the Flock thing are spying them. UK cucked themselves with loicenses and what not, Europe accepted with open arms millions of refugees that not only refuse to speak or learn the local language and culture but  don't follow their laws, not including having 5 to 10 kids each, building mosques and slowly destroying local culture.

The solution? I don't fucking know, study, be smarter, have a good job and a safe place to live. Try to help your local community, join a club, try to interact more with the old folk and keep what's good and traditional from your city, state or country, be a better person and wish for the best.

My friends made an app. It's very cool. Imagine a youtube-like interface except you fetch videos and data from different sources and people write plugins for each source. As a result, a creator can switch from e.g. Youtube to Odysee to whatever else is the best without losing their audience. There's also decentralized comments and thumbs upping and downing

We are destroying Youtube's network effect. They are fucked.

This is a project I've been planning on doing for a long time: a cross-platform and open source image editor that completely supersedes MS Paint and all it's cheap imitators (for digital images, so no printing features). I want to hear thoughts and ideas.

The objective is to take MS Paint and polish an even better version out of it: minimalistic, extremely light weight and fast, and very easy to use. Everything should take as few clicks as possible and to just work, the feature set is intentionally limited and designed to work well even without transparency or layers. For example the brushes should all be pixelated (reasons in the attached webms), I think it was a mistake on Microsoft's part to switch to the soft brush as a default. Maybe advanced brushes can be added as a side feature, but I feel like they just don't belong into MS Paint and nobody uses them for any real purpose.

Do you see any problems from the mockup? Have other ideas or things that should be added/changed? How would (You) improve MS Paint? Does some other image editor have a feature that you like?

I think MS paint is the wrong tool for creating game assets to begin with, there's just a lot of features missing to make it practical for art creation. It's more for quick edits, cropping images, mockups, tests, simple fun drawings, a blackboard to scribble onto...

It's not like there aren't 800 other free art programs you can use to follow your rotoscoping dreams. All of them are kind of shitty in their own ways, but still.
I put the most recent version on my site just to have a more centralized page for it: https://sundee.neocities.org/tffpaint/
It's still far from competing with MS Paint, but you can kinda use it a bit.

removing boomers from the internet would solve all its problems

on the turn of the century we all used the internet as teens. we all had msn and icq, maybe irc. we all knew how to browse and make websites. run emulators, download music. use forums. download pr0n. say niggerfaggot. play video games. maybe write code

we knew not to follow advice from the internet. not to run random .exes. we were 10-14.

then the boomers came, around 2010. before that they didnt even know what the internet let alone a computer is. they saw that teens are using the internet

A couple things to note about that. In comparison to the US, in the EU both road and rail are wholly overshadowed for share of cargo ton-miles by the inherent geography of deep seacoast penetration and crisscrossing inland waterways that the more  US lacks:
https://theicct.org/toward-a-greener-global-freight-transportation-system-oct25/
Also, while pickups/SUVs are less popular in Europe than the US, they are also less necessary. Cars (sedans, coupés, hatchbacks, stationwagons, etc.) overwhelmingly favoring manual trannies in the European market are rated comparably to a light truck or better in terms of towing capacity, whereas in the US this feature went extinct (due to regional differences of both mechanical and regulatory nature) in the 1980s, just in time for the burgerlard pickup/SUV conspiracy:

I bought a Kinesis mechnical ergo keyboard 25 years ago precisely because the cheapass keyboard I got with my PC started causing problems for me. I worked on the computer, so I was typing a whole lot... The nice thing is they had it on sale at the time for $200. That model isn't sold anymore, I guess the closest thing is Advantage2 which they're selling now for $350. I think they both have the same Cherry brown switches. One of my keys finally stopped working after all these years, so I'm gonna have to replace it (the switch). Otherwise the only other keyboards I found comfortable were those on the old IBM Thinkpads.

So i recently got myself a new keyboard. A keychron q6 wired version. Now i also got 2 sets of silent keycaps from it. These are said to be the most recommended silent keycaps. I ordered TTC Frozen Silent keycaps and Outemu Silent Lemon/Lime keycaps.
Here are my thoughts first on the keyboard and the original caps that came with. Its fine. I've only ever had 1 other keyboard so cant say much about it. Very loud to use but less louder than my previous keyboard. 
Now to the switch impressions.
First Outemu Lime/Lemon:
I was very disappointed to say the least. Sure its silent when you press down on the key but when you let go and it goes back up there is a noisy rebound/reverberation noise. Basically its fine when you press but noisy when key goes back up.
The TTC Silent Frozen on the other hand is good except the spacebar. This might simply be a keyboard problem in itself but the spacebar and backspace key does have loud reverberation when it comes back up. Everything else is dead silent. Im happy with it. Not happy with the outemu switches.

How do i build ratio on private trackers in a  good way? For example torrentleech. I tried seeding new torrents but lets say something just got uploaded then theres like 50 people with seedboxes that autosnatch the torrent and i cant compete with seedbox speeds. Lets say i dl a 20gb file. Then i'll at most get a few gb upload but then its done. Next to no one seems to leech on there so you have to seed the file for 10 days which is something i cant do at the time.
That brings me to my second question.
I want to get more storage. Im pretty computer illiterate but would getting a nas and putting some ssds in it be better than putting some ssds in my pc? For seeding ofcourse. And what about raid. Should i even bother with setting that up? When i think about nas i think about vulnerabilities because its connected to the internet but with a nas i wouldnt have to keep my computer on at all times. I have port forwarding on the vpn i use so seeding should work fine in the first place. It's just that i don't seem to have the storage or time to do it in the first place but thats something i want to change. In the first place i think 10 days is very strict. A 1080p remux can be between 20-40gb and mind you thats only ONE movie. I watch alot of movies so my drive would be filled to the brim before 10 days to even get the first movie to be watched.

How does /tech/ feel about tablets in general? I find that they failed to become the laptop replacements many thought they'd become back then, mainly due to their OS, which is funny looking back as Windows 8 ruined a lot of Microsoft's reputation because they were certain that iPads would be the end of them... however they're still good at being what Steve Jobs introduced them as, something between the computer and smartphone, that's worse than both in general, but better than all other devices in a few specific things, justifying their purpose to be.

I personally love mine as its replaced my laptop for most things, due to my usecase allowing for it, but it's also the best device I have for a lot of things, like digital art, reading comic books and manga, books and document reading in general, and media consumption, it's great.

I never knew how to root a phone. Once I tried to root a xiaomi phone I had and they make you create an account and wait like a week or two just so you can root it. It's so annoying.

The good part about Android is anything will let you root it with enough fussing and it's always designed to allow that. The bad part about Android is the ease with which rooting can be done varies ENORMOUSLY, so if you're the one picking it's a very good idea to shop ahead and pick the most cooperative device.

Same for other stuff like long term OS updates, and 3rd-party distro/driver support.

>S10 Lite costs as much as the superior S9 FE did back when it was out.
I like AI and all, use it regularly for many tasks and it improved my life in many ways... but the hike on prices pisses me off.
