Copyright is theft of my natural ability to copy things. And now that I have a machine that can do it for me for almost zero marginal cost, I really don't want laws designed for a world of physical publishing to be applied on the digital world.

Most of these p2p systems need port forwarding. Which half the isps seem to block with botched cgnat deployments.

Sync for reddit allows you to blacklist subs from r/all

>What we are seeing now is more people engaging in conversations and debates that were previously relegated to the elites—academics, politicians, aristocrats. Are their opinions impacted by their lack of deep literacy?

As if our politicians are some highly educated bunch anyway.

SA has been dumping all their oil money on investments for a long time now. They know what's coming.

No one is putting cylindrical cells on phones. These go to stationary storage. Also some people test and save each cell separately and put them in new packs.

Eventually they will come. And I think they will be linux laptops, not windows. The legacy support of closed source software windows has is working against them atm. Qualcomm for example already has hardware that is one or two iterations away from being competitive with the M1( with different strengths and weaknesses) and they can mainline their drivers if they want.

Driver support will never arrive. The reverse engineering effort without specs from apple would be gigantic. And during that period the floss software would be running much worse than the benchmarks we see and want right now. All that for a moving target that Apple can also lock down with a random update at any time.

It's just not worth it.

Or this is just a container box that was dropped in Earth accidentally. So it's some sort of mass produced cost-cut product.

Personally I usr stock ublock origin and sponsorblock. Thesr 2 together work reasonably well.

The point here is that Apple being the arbiter of access to customer base is an unhealthy market dynamic.

Ah the irony of considering linux more complicated than windows or mac because it doesn't hide the complexity... compared to adding an extra layer of complexity on top of the real complexity just to hid it.

PC gaming is the spearhead of planned obsolescence. Everything else comes after the gaming market has paid the hefty markup.

We have the same system but with electricity here( cheaper bills during night use).

Yes the cheapest ssd is more expensive /tb than the optimal one( which is ~1tb atm).

Cheapest ssd $/tb is x2-3 that of the cheapest hdd. That's still significant.

Hard drives are being price gouged. The prices on the low-end have stayed the same since pre-flood and the $/tb hasn't improved in a long time. Also the fact that the almost identical( and sometimes exactly identical down to serial number) externals often cost half as much as the internals( with only some extra warranty to cover the difference). It's a broken market.

I miss those forum banners a lot. One of those things that you could really make your profile yours.

Zfs sounds like a good solution although I'm not experienced with Ceph. Btrfs is ab option too but it has sone pitfalls.

The "substances" are working exactly as intended. You are too used to being wanted as a customer everywhere, this time it's not the case.

In the same way UI/UX can be used to get novice/ non-technical users into something it can also be used to filter them out.

Windows arm is not real windows. It's not a substitute. Apple might command it's developers like a herd, moving them to whatever fancy new thing they make but windows is much more fragmented with 20+ years of backwards compatibility and tons of unmaintained software that won't be magically ported.

Hopefully without windows. It would be nice if we could get our own little *nix corner.

My gpu works fine on newer kernels. It's not about blobs, debian is just slow.

It shouldn't be their business.

Debian has abysmal hardware support( well gpus mostly). They need to do something about their kernels, my RX5700XT is miles ahead with the current kernel compared to whatever debian 10 ships.

It happens with forced win10 updates.

If you are suggesting people to buy the CD then you are not contributing much to artists.

How big is your collection and how well does it work with it ( and what resources does it consume)?

Spotify has gotten worse. They don't want you to listen to too much music, they want just enough to keep you subbed.
