I just know that I have neither B)

I rarely actually pirate anything. The only time I pirate is when I'm otherwise forced to go through that specific company to do the things I want due to monopoly shit.

Used to pirate windows before switching to Linux (I still give people I know helpful tips on the process though, not everybody can make the switch yet). Used to pirate MS office and a couple other pieces of software back when I had to use them for school. I would pirate substance painter if a Linux crack was available, but I haven't been able to find one and I can't get the windows version working, so I simply don't use that software. And as for shows and movies, that whole mess of subscriptions, yeah I don't watch pretty much any of it. I buy physical copies when possible and watch stuff with friends who have the services. I use bandcamp for most of my music, sometimes YouTube for discovering new stuff.

I will however keep up to date on all of the piracy methods because i will not be caught helpless by some shitty company who thinks it's found a way to corner me.

Alright, you do have a point there. Reading docs and asking questions is a skill too, and if you haven't learned them yet then chatgpt can stunt your growth there, i agree with that much.

I still think that chatgpt, if used correctly, can be a huge boon to your education. Knowing how to interact with those bots to avoid their shortcomings and not use them as a crutch I think is also a skill worth learning.

Know what, that's stupid and reductive and not even accurate to what I said, but fuck it, yes. Yes actually. Because i value my time and sanity and other people's time and sanity. Just because i eat out every now and then doesn't mean I can't cook.

No, learning is there part where you have to think. That's not when you use the robot. You use the robot when the documentation is trash and unusable and every answer you find is out of date. You use the robot when you know exactly what you want to do and how to do it and you don't have time to trawl through the docs for the next 2 hours. You use the robot when the only gimp 2.10 tutorial on earth for how to write plugins tells you to use this funny program called gimptool but you're new to gimp dev so you look online to see what that is only to find that there's no mention of it literally anywhere besides your current tutorial and a disjointed man page where you can't find the source anywhere, and the devs are all on irc and you don't want to bother them and you're worried that they're just going to tell you to read the tutorial you already came from and you'll leave empty handed. That's when you ask the robot. It has a use, you don't have to substitute your thinking to use it.

I think that's client side. Doesn't happen for me.

That would be pretty metal

It's not so much about the asphalt as it is about the humans being paid to put the asphalt down. There are lots of potholes to be fixed and not as many speed bumps that need to be made, so the speed bumps get finished before the potholes do.

Are you sure? It looks a while lot like the TADIP button

I don't

Know what? If it makes someone else happy then go for it. Hand me to some necrophiliacs while you're at it, I will literally not care.

No
