People in tech are treated like shit because, lo and behold, the tech field is inundated with a bunch of misanthropic , autistic nerds. And that is how it should be.
Well, they choose to be poor. If they'd only pull themselves up by their bootstraps and walk into the nearest Fortune 500 company and give the CEO a firm handshake, I'm sure they could be rich in no time.
Personally, I've gotten into indie gaming (though am not kept to enjoying it) by it simply coming to my platforms of choice. Not having to boot out of Debian for a lot of games is wonderful.
I've never liked using physical media for movies and TV series, but streaming services are just as inconvenient since I'm a neckbearded Linux user. Netflix doesn't work unless you run Firefox in WINE with Silverlight installed. Amazon Instant Video's service fades in and out from working out of the box, even though it uses a proprietary plugin that supports Linux. For me, it's way easier to fire up a torrent, let it run overnight (if the BluRay rip doesn't download in 30-45 minutes), and then watch it from my monitor, or I could also watch it from my tablet, laptop, or phone by opening it from my SMB share.
I'm on Charter, and the usual going rates for on-demand movies (that aren't in premium packages you pay for monthly (HBO, Cinemax, etc.)) is $5 for standard definition, $6 for HD.
I recall quite a few people from a certain video game imageboard doing just this when Valve added the Tux misc items to TF2, that required running TF2 from their Linux application. Then they all proceeded to go to/g/ and beg for help.

Didn't Windows For Rocketships cause the Challenger explosion?
What do you expect? Computing is dead.
I fucking wish I had mod points
They obviously did name it: cat /dev/null

Yeah, some artists only put out poor-quality MP3s officially, but you'll see 24-bit FLAC on, say, What.cd.
That's what you get for releasing proprietary software.

You assume that the doctor isn't a National Socialist.
Good luck, after the Congressional hearing today, they're going to embrace it.
Still won't be able to see them in IE.

As a Warhammer 40k fan, stop stealing lore Blizzard.

They're closing all Blockbuster services.

Mine closed half a decade ago, and last year Firehouse Subs moved into the building.
Get back to /pol/, goyim.
This. Hell, the only reason Microsoft called the Xbox One what they did is because Xbox 720 would lead to a lot of "Xbox 720p" jokes.

I wonder if it's eligible for Amazon Prime 2-day shipping, too.
How long until we can download that car?
Wrong LFN, that one's the GNAA-approved release.
This is the prime reason why I'm not moving to Wayland and I'm sticking with X11 for the time being: ssh -X.
How else are we supposed to get out of our parents' basements?
