CLICKBAIT the theory goes “if given an infinite amount of time, a monkey pressing keys on a typewriter would eventually write the complete works of William Shakespeare.” and then they say that would take longer than the universe would exist. SEE THE ORIGINAL QUOTE… INFINITE TIME. Also that is if it went through every combination. Due to Random Chance it could happen the 3rd try of you doing it.

This is a nothing burger of a story about some mathematicians that crunched some of the numbers involved and didn’t like what they saw.

Awww, Muffin.

All you have to know is that when Twitch banned Gambling Streams, and some of the people who made bank on those streams started to complain about Twitch, a couple of guys behind large gambling sites decided to open their own streaming platform called “Kick” that gives a much better cut of advertising and allowed gambling streams, and got allot of bottom of the barrel (but not all of them) streamers, especially the ones who have been banned off of other services but were popular.

Supposedly they have been getting better with their enforcement, and started getting better detection, but then their is all the stuff that comes with gambling too.

You know when the streaming platform that is known for gambling and being the last refuge of streamers and D-List Celebs, along with a few people who don’t care about anything but the higher cut, has more class than you, even if it was scripted, or worse it was him paying her off because she was poor and homeless.

3 day ban? I am sorry that should read 3 year ban.

It is one of its co-founders offering so it isn’t 100% clear either way where it is coming from.

It turns out it went multi-engine, probably to prevent getting cut off of Google’s Results. It probably mixes results from multiple engines like the old multi engine search engines in the old days of the internet.

When they were purchased it was with the understanding that they would get no user data and that Startpage does not collect it, and it has the same CEO who started the company so I believe him.

Yeah, I should have said “by default” because that is how most people will use it, but the power users will use other engines.

AFAIK Startpage gives you google results with your privacy intact and less ads.

Uses Bing results.

On Vivaldi and yeah it was paywalled so I went straight to my collection of workarounds and no built in solutions. Overall faster that way.

Marques Brownlee: “Don’t pay for what something will be, pay for what it is now” and “I don’t review what will be, but what a product is now”

Also Marques Brownlee: “Pay the subscription fee now for the unnamed unspecified features this will have other than just wallpapers now to fund future development”

Who knew the next company he would “kill” would be his own. The only way to find his app on Android is to use the link from his site because of the generic name.

BTW Wallpaper Engine, which has an android app, is currently $5 Canadian, and I am told with Proton can also work on Linux PC’s and has an huge amount of modifiable wallpapers.

If you don’t want to use Steam you can use the Heroic Launcher that does Epic and other games, especially itch.io games.
