notcensored02on Books of 2023, as Chosen by The Economist

Andrew Keen wrote a book on this in 2007 called The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture.

I didn't agree with him on the copyright stuff (I loved Napster, pirate bay, sharing etc), but he was right on most of his points.

I block all youtube channels with that stupid checkbox next to it from my search results. you can do the same by adding this ublock origin filter:

notcensored02on TempleOS Demo V800 2012/02/28

Yeah but I've never seen an objective review of the OS by anybody. Everyone's too busy kissing his schizophrenic ass. They're afraid of being dogpiled for telling the truth. I want the truth.

Is the OS impressive or not? It looks like CRAP to me. Nobody seriously uses it yet everyone says it's awesome.

I'm sick of people LYING for this guy because he's dead - just tell the truth you scum society. It BLOWS, doesn't it?

I make youtube videos empowering people, showing them how to do many things that might otherwise cost them money if they didn't know better.

The last few videos I made were

1. How to download, decrypt, and OCR (searchable text) books from the internet archive using Debian Linux and python3.

2. How to run your own Jitsi Meet voip WebRTC voice chat web server which allows for end-to-end-encryption.

3. How to download published papers from scihub because they don't actually cost $40 each for a 2MB pdf file.

I think people forgot the spirit of the internet, and I won't allow it to be forgotten. The internet is not television 2.0. It's already way too commercialized as it is. People are trying to charge money for ambient audio sleep apps now. It needs to be discouraged.

----------- This website continues to delete my comments. It's one of the most locked down, censored websites I've ever seen, and I've been here since 1995. Here's what I ACTUALLY said.

Hi kovac. This is the internet. You don't pay for things. What the hell are you doing?

You guys need to stop paying for crap. This stuff has been historically free. With more and more people paying for things that have been free, pretty soon they'll be trying to charge for BROWSERS. Hi. KNOCK IT OFF.
