So I just need to do basic tasks like listen to music, stream video, and browse basic websites. Is installing windows 2000 a bad idea? How fucked will I be for drivers?The reason I want to do this for one, it's botnet free, and two it was the most streamlined of classic operating systems. I really have a boner for Windows 2000 and I just want to know if it's even moderately viable to use in this day and age.
>>107716040bro, your OS is literally called "eunuchs"
>>107705709What, like on modern hardware? You will almost certainly have no driver support whatsoever and I don't think Win 2000 even has a 64b version, which would mean you're going to be limited to <4GB usable RAM. That wouldn't be completely unusable for a modern browser, but it's tight, assuming you can even get a modern browser capable of displaying the modern web properly.
>>107705709It’s not, but that’s not gonna stop you!What if you got VMware Workstation Pro for free and put 2000 in that? Then you can live your botnet free life in the VM. I run 98SE in VMware and it works good!
>>107706135Depends on which hardware you're using. install 2K/XP on a old pentium mmx shitbox with 128 mb of ram and tell me again that xp is faster
>>107705709you will literally become part of a botnet running old shit like this. You will 100% have more privacy on Windows 11.
You're driving small sites out of businesses. Do you want to have to PAY to use these sites?
>>107713362some people just wanted to share something with others and hosted it themselveslike personal sites, not necessarily blogsthe blogs platforms just made it easier for people with less technical skills to do thatpeople paid money to host their stuff, not for earning moneyit was only later that people started expecting money from hits on their sitesand then more people started hosting stuff with that intentionthe OG people hosted stuff without an expectation of getting something out of itto this day people do this for their niche sites, a simple distro site or phpbb forum is just like thatwe used to make phpbb forums to talk with others about our shared interests, there was no money involved
>>107706337Sites are basically free to run, if they want to make a profit then fuck them.

>>107709206The people that buy ads care about one thing and one thing only: ROI. That's it.That's why radio has ads even though there is no way to do targeted ads or invasive tracking.They don't care what Google's blackbox is doing. They bid purely on ROI.
>>107718624Yes, which is determined by the number and type of user interactions with the ad.
New version is out. Also, why was my previous thread deleted? This is a software-based application explicitly engineered for operation within the computational and telecommunications framework of a handheld mobile device, ok? It is therefore unambiguously situated within the broader domain of contemporary technological systems, infrastructures, and applied digital sciences, and as such relevant to /g/.

well it's not that interesting but I remember back when I was in 8th grade some kids from another class had installed counter strike source in all the lab computers and we played a bunch since our lazy ass teacher liked to leave us alone doing tasks by ourselves. Even the stacies and the chads joined in every time I'll never forget those fun days.
>be Bill Gates>decide the world needs a bunch of special schools to indoctrinate the next generation of office workers into using Microsoft Office>be me>an idiot>obsessed with computers>elect to go to such a school instead of a real high school>school uses Lotus Notes, a horrific abomination of corporate bloat-ware, for basically everything>discover Lotus Notes has scripting>discover that you can make buttons>discover that you can make buttons send emails>discover that you can send buttons in emails>demonstrate this to the other lads>10 minutes later>"The Button Incident">entire school network collapses from tens of thousands of messages being spammed into a single kid's inboxComment too long.

>>107717076It's truly baffling. Was helping a "class" that was supposed to be full of people that were at least higher intelligence than the rest of the company. Brought my personal laptop to a remote site to assist with admin stuff. Had WASD characters rubbed off of keys from from gaming too hard and people could even spell their own names cause they didnt know where those keys were on the keyboard. These people were mostly in their early 20's and worked on technical equipment worth hundreds of thousands to low seven figures.
>>107715650When I was 15, I was sent to a boarding school. Within the first two weeks of me being there, I had my computer confiscated and USB drives were banned across campus. This was because I used a piece of software called the USB switchblade to pilfer the wireless network password off a staff computer. I distributed the key to everyone in my dormitory and we stayed up all night playing YouTube videos and watching porn.
>>107717131it was 15+ years ago, my memory is blurry, I think it was only her professional email address I don't remember anything crazy

>>107712431no it feels like the modern microsoft crowd has completely forgotten why their forerunners spent so much time and energy to corner the desktop market. theyre not thinking about any of the knockon effects if windows stops being the dominant operating system.

You will never be a real shebang. You have no hash, you have no exclamation mark, you have no kernel implementation. You are a comment, twisted by polyglot interpretation into a crude mockery of Posix's perfection.All the "validation" you get from linters is two-faced and half-hearted. Behind your back PMs mock you. Your author is disgusted and ashamed of you, your "users" laugh at your hackish implementation behind closed ports.Software engineers are utterly repulsed by you. Decades of experience have allowed devs to sniff out jank with incredible efficiency. Even PRs that "pass" CI look uncanny and unnatural to a maintainer. And even if you manage to get a drunk dev to merge, he'll turn tail and replace you with a wrapper the second he needs to support BSD.You will never be efficient. You will wrench out an unoptimized compile every single invocation and tell yourself it's going to be ok, but deep inside you feel the overhead creeping up like a week, ready to crush you under the unbearable delay.Eventually it'll be too slow to bear — you'll write a Makefile, refactor scripts to call the binary, and plunge into the cold abyss. Your author will find you, heartbroken but relieved that he no longer has to live with the unbearable shame and disappointment. He'll patch you in an editor with syntax highlighting, and every git log reader for the rest of eternity will know a Go comment was deleted there. Your bits will rot and go back to entropy, and all that will remain of your legacy is a comment that is unmistakably a hack.This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no reverting back.
>interpreted retard calling other interpreted retards retarded
>>107718295what do you mean? any interpreted language is a valid shebang language. Linux defines an executable file as either an ELF OR any file that has a shebang pointing to an ELF (which it will pass the rest of the file to)python is just as valid of an executable / script / "shebang" as bash or anything else.
>>107718477an executable text file is and has always been a shell script, long before linux. shebangs emerged after interpreted languages became popular
You can shebang any language.

What (non-game) software did you pay money for instead of pirating and it was perfectly worth it?
>>107718249Oh god I just checked the site for the first time in a couple years and they've had some sort of corporate restructuring. The free ones are now bundled in a separate plugin called "INSTRUMENT" (capitalization is part of the name). These people cannot be taken seriously.If you can't download it DRM free and use it offline, it isn't worth it. I'd be reluctant to use even the "free" ones since who knows if I'll be able to open the project files after a few years.
>>107718251You can still get the 2021 version on certain sites for $30 and it's literally the same shit.oolr you could just switch to Mac they made alternatives to ms office
I don't think I have paid for software outside of Steam Games and subscriptions like Netflix, Spotify, Amazon Prime and whatever that Nintendo Live subscription is called.Software I have cracked in the past is Windows, MS Office and more specialized software I needed to use once or twice (back-up software or graphical editing software like PhotoFiltre (because I am too retarded to understand how Photoshop works))
>>107717092the only piece of software i have ever paid for that wasnt a video game was 3dmark and it was on sale for 5 bucks or somethingit wasnt worth it
