I can still use a 2003 AMD Opteron with the newest builds of Linux. It’s an open standard. As long as the hardware still physically works. The only reason these pieces of hardware are EOL is because they chose to lock them down.

It’s had all the signs of a bubble for the last few years.

No car, no problem.

Keep in mind that though this is a blow to the industry, it’s not like optical media is just yet dead. Hell, there are still new releases to DVDs coming out today.

Masterful gambit, Sir.

We’re also using machine learning for the local site translation. The AI buzzword is doing more damage than good PR.

No mention of license in this article. Are they going to be releasing it through a git of some kind?

Turns out the judge on his 2020 conviction was caught doing some questionable shit.

He’s still going to be serving time for the 2022 conviction.

One of the reasons I love Linux is that I can install or uninstall any application I want. I don’t even need a desktop let alone a web browser.

Don’t steal my stolen data.

I went the seed box route and I’ll never go back. It’s faster and I don’t even need a stable connection. Start the download from my phone and it’s waiting for me when I get home.

The people who are stealing our movies and our television shows and operating piracy sites are not mom and pop operations,” says Charlie Rivkin, chief executive officer of the MPA, who adds that some of the operators also engage in drug trafficking, child pornography, prostitution and money laundering. “This is organized crime.”

I like how they always have to fabricate a connection to organized crime. Trying to convince the reader that is not just copyright infringement.

Just keep in mind you’re going to lose quality. Any time you compress something in a lossy format is going to get worse.

Another note, if you’re not worried about quality loss, you might look into AV1 over h265. Much better compression. Though, that might not work with your setup.

If people can talk without being tracked they might unionize.

That’s like claiming cars are too expensive because you can’t afford a Tesla.

I bought a wonderful ebike from REI for $1,300. You don’t need to buy the fancy luxury models.

Sounds like you don’t understand the sex work industry.

• People already get porn for free. Nothing new here.
• Some things you can’t synthesize. Like experiences.
• For a lot of people it’s not just about the sex but the personalities of the models.
• Some make the content because they like to make the content.

I don’t game regularly, and Steamdeck is probably not something I’m going to be purchasing anytime soon. However, I was hopeful that Valve’s investment into Linux would be beneficial and to the larger Linux landscape.

I’m hopeful that more companies will look at Valve’s success and start building more on Linux in a way that will benefit the upstream community.

LA Metro is doing a similar service as an additional option with their transit. It’s designed as an option to fill in the gaps. More need to look to LA Metro. They’re doing a lot right.

This is just balancing out. Anything that gets over-hyped will eventually drop in use. It’ll eventually be a boring yet useful tool just like spreadsheets, spellcheck, or email.

It’s a little dance called capitalism:

1. Company becomes publicly traded.
2. Shareholders invest in the company.
3. The company aims to maximize profit.
4. Growth eventually slows down because almost everyone who could use the company’s services already does.
5. Shareholders expect returns on their investment.
6. To increase revenue, the company must either raise prices for customers or reduce operating expenses.
