I've been boycotting Sony since the CD rootkit debacle & haven't regretted my decision yet.

I forgot about that whole thing. For those that need a reminder like me:

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Ooooor read for 30 seconds on wikipedia. Fucking 8 minute video faffing about wanking off and spit shining his own bald head.

Hey, I totally understand your preference for text-based sources, I even share that preference, but maybe tone it down a little? It's really not a big deal.

Imagine this but reversed, someone getting worked up about sharing a text source rather than a video.

Fucking text? GLYPHS?? What is this, ancient fucking Egypt? How about a human I can see and hear?

When I see a source I don't like, I go find one I do. Then I'll usually link it in the replies for others who share my preferences.

You should get that anger checked out. The video was interesting to me.

I lost a very expensive (at the time) CD-RW to that shit.
