Learned bash scripting age 17 for the sole purpose of automatically downloading porn using wget.

I Like this

Ah yes! I use userscripts to generate download links on PH pages, because PH are asshokeswho can delete anything ona whim

Man of culture.

Is there any benefit of this method? faster or secure or private, like that?

Whatever gets you coding, dood.

@iiii Just like YouTube, like a third of my favorited videos are listed as "deleted" and I don't even know what the title of each video was because that gets deleted too.

So nowadays I just download everything I like. Interesting two hour talk I might never watch later? Download that shit. Interesting blog article? Export that fucker as PDF and plain text file. HDDs are cheap nowadays and manufacturers are aiming for 100TB+ by 2030, so what the hell.

@theabbie That was in the mid-to-late nineties. Automatic downloading back then was nothing you could get from a browser extension. I mean I used lynx for browsing half of the time back then.

It was just pure convenience.

@deadlyRants exactly! So I must stash all the juicy stuff locally, like a horny squirrel.

@iiii gotta protect your nuts lol

A true hero

No wonder, since Linux users are bunch of wankers.

true motivation :)

@aviophile Yeah, I guess Windows is morally purifying... Who in the world could even imagine to hold an erection for more than 2 seconds when looking at DOS or the Power Shell. Ewww

@DirtEffect windows chads banged linux virgins’ platonic loves. That is the reason of their inferiority complex.

@aviophile wait, wtf? 🤣🤣🤣

@aviophile

Windows

Chads

pick one.

@iiii wish I could give a second upvote for the squirrel metaphor

@DirtEffect oh yes. I stash my nut material :3

I think the next step would be to learn hosting things...

The real MVP.

That feeling when your code gets past the "Yes, I'm above 18" button successfully!!! 😆
