I misread this as if it lacked the y and was slightly confused for a second

to be fair , neither the free software movement nor the open source movement (which are distinct ideologically) are explicitly socialist . in a way , especially the free software movement , they embody an extention of liberalism .

both of these movements focus on the individuals freedom and take issue not with developers/companies being systemically incentivized to develop closed source / nonfree software , but with individual developers/companies doing so . thus the solution taken is limited to the individual not to systemic change .

autistic complaining about units

ok so like I don't know if I've ever seen a more confusing use of units . at least you haven't used the p infix instead of the / in bandwith units .

like you used both upper case and lowercase in units but like I can't say if it was intentional or not ? especially as the letter that is uppercased should be uppercased ?

anyway

1Mb

is theoretically correct but you likely ment either one megabyte (1 MB) or one megibyte (MiB) rather than one megabit (1 Mb)

~325mb/s

95mb/s

and

9mb/s

I will presume you did not intend to write ~325 milibits per second , but ~325 megabits per seconds , though if you have used the 333 333 request count as in the segment you quoted , though to be fair op also made a mistake I think , the number they gave should be 3 exabits per second (3 Eb/s) or 380 terabytes per seconds (TB/s) , but that's because they calculated the number of requests you can make from a 1 gigabit (which is what I assume they ment by gbit) wrong , forgetting to account that a byte is 8 bits , you can only make 416 666 of 4 kB (sorry I'm not checking what would happen if they ment kibibytes sorry I underestimated how demanding this would be but I'm to deep in it now so I'm gonna take that cop-out) requests a second , giving 380 terabits per second (380 Tb/s) or 3.04 terabytes per second (3.04 TB/s) , assuming the entire packet is exactly 114 megabytes (114 MB) which is about 108.7 megibytes (108.7 MiB) . so anyway

packet size		theoretical bandwidth
1 Mb	416.7 Gb/s	52.1 GB/s
1 MB	3.3 Tb/s	416.7 GB/s
1 MiB	3.3 Tb/s	416.7 GB/s
300 kb	125.0 Gb/s	15.6 GB/s
300 kB	1000.0 Gb/s	125.0 GB/s
300 kiB	1000.0 Gb/s	125.0 GB/s
30 kb	12.5 Gb/s	1.6 GB/s
30 kB	100.0 Gb/s	12.5 GB/s
30 kiB	100.0 Gb/s	12.5 GB/s

hope that table is ok and all cause im in a rush yeah bye

to be fair I can't imagine Gabe being that fond of piracy ... checks ah never mind
mind

One thing that we have learned is that piracy is not a pricing issue. It’s a service issue. The easiest way to stop piracy is not by putting antipiracy technology to work. It’s by giving those people a service that’s better than what they’re receiving from the pirates.

- Gabe Newell , as quoted by gamesradar

BTW the quote is under this amazing image , which I very much hope was not placed there recently :

Gabe Newell engaging his inner heavy weapons guy , by standing on some dock looking thing , bolding a machine gun

As someone who is currently inside of mental hospital grounds , reminding people to take their meds isnt bad I'd say . /hj

On a serious side I feel like this isn't that bad , as it is more general than using a specific issue as an insult

smh he is racist, overconfident, and uneducated

honestly what I hate the most about those quotes is that every one of those slogans actually have a quite clear meaning , especially within the context of the book .

I've seen a calculator interpret 1 ÷ 2π as ½π which was kinda funny
