We All Know This Site Is US-user Heavy, But I Wanna Know How Many Are Vs Aren't From The Land Of Capitalism.

We all know this site is US-user heavy, but I wanna know how many are vs aren't from the land of capitalism.

For Firefox I like Ad Nauseum for my adblocking. Pretty sure it's buily ontop of u-block anyway, but I like what it does

Libra office is basically the same functionality as microsoft office but free

Krita and gimp for free drawing and photo editing software

Xournal for notes

Make sure you install ublock and privacy badger at a minimum for firefox

Thank you for the software reccs

I'm so tired of hearing about how the different US states are really "50 countries in a trenchcoat" because I'm sorry... Have you been to the states?

You're really going to sit there and tell me that Washington, California and Oregon are as distinct from each other as the UK, France and Germany?

Really?

With a straight face and everything?

The states are more like, I dunno, different denominations of protestantism, or different Shonen Jump battle series, or different versions of Star Trek.

Like, if someone earnestly talked about how The Original Series and Voyager are actually really different that person would be correct, but if another person said, "Come on man what are you talking about it's all fucking Star Trek" that person would also be correct.

“At a conference in June, NBC CEO Steve Burke explained what would constitute an Olympics “nightmare,” Bloomberg reports. “We wake up someday and the ratings are down 20%,” he said. “If that happens, my prediction would be that millennials had been in a Facebook bubble or a Snapchat bubble and the Olympics have come, and they didn’t know it.” That nightmare is basically here, as the Olympics saw a sharp viewership dip for the first time since 2000. Among 18- to 49-year-olds, the damage is even greater than 20%, sitting at a 25% drop-off”

AKA “It’s not our shitty, tape-delayed, reality-show style coverage, or our myopic and draconian social media policies - it’s those damn millennials and their snapchats!”

In contrast, the CBC network in Canada probably just got it’s highest Olympic ratings ever.

They streamed or broadcast basically every single event, and in order to watch you just needed to a) be in Canada and b) have the internet or a tv. None of this “cable subscription to access streams” stuff. Made it super easy to watch.

And everything was broadcast live, even the obscure sports. They might not have commentary, but they had multiple camera angles.
