Pretty much is, they’re spending hundreds of billions on a dream (not having to pay workers) that doesn’t work, until they repurpose those datacentres to remove personal computing.
Fortunately datacentres are by design concentrated in space and therefore rather vulnerable.
Valid use case, still a significant problem.
Fair cop, shall look at pipepipe, wait, that’s a phone app, I like my vidja on a larger screen, You do you, I’m good :)
Hmfh, usually the long repeats are CGs (or ATs)
Legal thieves, and their kin.
Kudos to you then I guess. Nice offsite backup you’re not paying for, love it. Shit, getting payed for, brilliant !
Solid. I seem to have a ~90% overlap, copying both this and the movies to my obsidian, shall do some diff / grepping later… There’s gems in there, thanks.
Sympathy for the no adblocker (moron?, but with taste), must burn.

90% of the time it works every time (OK, maybe 80), but when it does it’s great. I just let my rss queue backlog until it does. (Not on them, YT is actively rugpulling coz they hate them, which makes me like them more, shame about the electron though). Grayjay is closed, and likely questionable, but a useful backup.
Yah, it’s the EFF, they get significant latitude from their history.
Nah, I often read the comments to decide if it’s worth reading the article, and sometimes comment off that, oops, you got me. Actually maybe that is reverse order.
Guessing it’s pretty much what I expected, and I’m likely to have said much the same anyway.
Hmfhh, quite so, dropped this…

I’ve never really understood the mentality of businesses. They’re losing customers, so they bump the price to compensate, therefore losing more customers.
It’s the mentality of CEOs, MBAs and Venture Investment, line must go up this quarter, nothing else matters, we’ll be jumping out leaving suckers holding the bag before the business goes under. Scam culture, and it fucking works.
Long term strategy is dead (except for privately owned, see Valve), this is late stage capitalism baby, take what you can, give nothing back. Seems fair to do unto them.
Yup, long as it’s copyleft (GPL) open source, I don’t care if it’s microslop paying.
That said, watch out for a new wave of EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) using unmaintainable AI code, and be ready to fork.
Valve, not so much.
And Iran is most of the wrong ones, might not stop Don Tzupid, weapons to sell…
TBF, that applies more to invading Ukraine.
Or Korea, or Vietnam. Actually by now Ukraine seems more of a never invade Russia in winter blunder, made by Russia itself.
But a Princess Bride reference in these trying times is it’s own reward.
These things are for the nasty little surprises, more relevant for the proprietaries, but not useless on linux. They’re for the unknown unknowns, and that’s a good thing. The next supply chain vuln might bite you, and opensnitch might let you know.
Or Obtainium.
optimal solution (lol)
Nope, just slavers, not wage slavers. The dynamics of power are eternal, merely the forms change. One hopes at some point we evolve.
