Barbarian planets are called meteors.

Reamur FTW!

Yes, you are right of course. It’s a sad state of affairs.

It boggles my mind that people fall for these scams, and do so in such large numbers.

So much stupidity and/or so little tech literacy. Ow.

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half, bro.

I can’t see videos. Fuck me, right?

Good, but why does it have to be video? Blog post or something I can effin’ READ.

Effing paywalls

Sounds like a survivable approach. Except: has anyone heard of it? I hadn’t.

This makes me puke.

It has been THE viteo platform for literally decades. There is so much content there; it would be a tremendous effort to direct that elsewhere.

And that other site would quickly succumb to storage and bandwidth costs. What options could exist?
