Just forgot about the monopoly part
However, if you follow that train of thought, you’ll often get to the point where you’d need to get rid of cars as we know them today.
If people weren’t depending on them, fewer would have one. And if only few people have one (they are expensive, after all), why build roads just for them? Why all this costly infrastructure that would only benefit 5% of the population? Why use everyone’s tax to fund them?
The fact that cars are built like today - basically comfort cages - is only because all this infrastructure exists. They’re not used outside of that environment. So of people don’t depend on it, they’d probably vanish in a couple of decades, at least outside of their respective niches.
If you go by the initial acronym, it means personal iirc
BRICS as an organization and not as a loose grouping concept is somehow less than the sum of its parts I always think
If you haven’t bought illicit drugs from a darknet market, you’re doing crypto and possibly life wrong
Regardless of this particular issue, he is a convicted felon, so of course he’s guilty
It’s just unfortunate that this BS is the way society is forced to realize that agriculture is built on exploitation, this isn’t meant to be a “both sides” moment but neither Reps nor Dems ever really cared about this. It was just always hypocritical to hate on the undocumented while relying on them
However, we all know that this administration will find the worst and inhumane way to deal with the situation.
Agreed. But he’s also an abrasive know-it-all. A modicum of social skills and respect goes a long way towards making others accept your pet projects.
This isn’t what I get when reading bug reports he interacts in. Yeah, sometimes he asks if something can’t be done another way – but he seems also very open to new ideas. I rather think that this opinion of him is very selective, there are cases where he comes off as smug, but I never got the impression this is the majority of cases.
I wasn’t talking about the protocol, I was talking about the implementation: PulseAudio is a crashy, unstable POS. I can’t count the number of hours this turd made me waste, until PipeWire came along.
PipeWire for audio couldn’t exist nowadays without PulseAudio though, in fact it was originally created as “PulseAudio for Video”; Pulse exposed a lot of bugs in the lower levels of the Linux audio stack. And I do agree that PipeWire is better than PulseAudio. But it’s important to see it in the context of the time it was created in, and Linux audio back then was certainly different. OSS was actually something a significant amount of people used…
Prohibition and the war on drugs sure worked out well when they were implemented. Surely this time …
This isn’t about making it legal, but about requiring age verification. To bring it closer to your example: stores shouldn’t check your she when buying booze, selling to everyone because if minors don’t get it there, they’ll get moonshine somewhere else, which is worse.
This is true, unfortunately some Linux users have been conditioned to “just turn off Secure Boot” without understanding what this actually means and entails.
Think that’s called NATing
I mean if you’re going for the piracy route, you never used streaming services or bought physical media anyways and the whole discussion is moot.
Depending on the definition of war, it could be either yes, no or we already are.
Well with your DVDs the “HD resolution” question is easily answered: you don’t get HD resolution. Weird comparison there. Especially since you complain about Disney+ not going beyond 480p in your specific case - so why buy DVDs with the same shitty resolution?
While I generally agree here, resolution isn’t everything, bitrate also plays a role, and some content in streaming services has been compressed rather badly so that you get artifacts that you don’t have on DVDs. A DVD will certainly look better than 480p streaming content despite a much older codec which light only exists as a reason for an upsell.
I think the way to go is a Homeserver (could even be a raspberry pi) where you can somewhat secure your storage with appropriate redundancy.
And how would you get stuff onto your homeserver legally?
Thay said, they still sell a shit load of cars.
It’s only a meaningful metric if there are margins in these sales, which I’m not totally doubting, but the number alone doesn’t tell everything
The “don’t break userspace” is a kernel rule. It’s ok to break userspace within (like on library upgrades). The equivalent for Linux would be breaking kernel space, which they do… very often. It’s the reason DKMS exists and why Nvidia can be such a hassle
Yes
