Copyright was never meant to be used how it is today. It was specifically made to protect small creators from having big companies come in and rip them off. Companies were never meant to be the beneficiaries. But lot of lobbying plus corporations are people too bullshit changed that.

Copyright is meant to last roughly the lifetime of the artist, but organizations can live forever. And then nothing ever goes in the public domain, a shared culture dissolves in to nothingness.

It’s because the US doesn’t have anti-monopoly laws. We have laws that you can’t abuse your monopoly powers. And in this case, it was easier to prove against Google.

But it’s still bullshit. Vertical Integration is just a vertical monopoly

You need the “Userland” programs. Basic things like ls, cp, cat, etc. Usually it’s GNU core tools, but there’s also BusyBox or BSD equivalents.

EVs are just a drop in the bucket. Most of the greenhouse gasses come from factories and industrial use

Every year for over a decade has been the hottest on record. And that’s not going to change till our societies change

It’s not FOSS, but Google’s adding this feature right into Photos

No, you’re moving the goal post. A company like Comcast offering a symmetrical service is huge, regardless of what the underlying technology is capable of. They could have been offering 200 megs symmetrical with Docsis 3.0, but they didn’t. They restricted customers to 11mbit uploads. This is a big deal

False. Comcast is finally caving and is beginning to roll out 2 gig symmetrical https://www.engadget.com/comcast-starts-squeezing-2-gbps-symmetrical-internet-speeds-through-decades-old-coaxial-cables-143657830.html

Standard practice at game stores for over 20 years. They do this to prevent theft. Before this policy got instituted we’d have angry people showing up with empty cases because someone slipped it out of the box and then out of the store

I worked at Electronics Boutique over 20 years ago, and we’d do the same thing. If someone brought a game back and got a refund because they didn’t like it, or they got it for the wrong platform we’d just re-shrink wrap it and put it back out as new. But the lazy person who did yours didn’t even break out the heat gun smh

Also, I’m not sure if GameStop even allows this, but back in the day employees were allowed to borrow almost any game in the store to try it out, so we could know about it when selling. And we’d re-shrink those too

I wonder if this is a sign the rumored “Deckard” stand-alone VR device is getting announced soon…

WTF? I thought they came to a cease fire recently 😞

Mainly with the bootloader, but also a few device drivers. But this was like 6 years ago and UEFI was still new. So maybe it’s better now. Generally the older your hardware the more likely it is to be supported

The last time I tried installing on a MacBook I had all kinds of problems. Maybe it is better now, but I’d suggest starting with a traditional PC if you’re brand new to Linux

Bandcamp was nice while it lasted https://www.wired.com/story/epic-games-sale-bandcamp-music-platform-limbo/

Or better, seize all his peoperty and money

I’ve been wondering about all this tech and what’s going to happen to it. Surely some other company would be interested in buying it and taking over where they left off. Maybe Redbox?

Now that streaming services are jacking up their prices and people and cancelling, it seems like a perfect time for a resurgence in physical media rental, ironically.

Nvidia has all but backed out of the mobile chip market, and those chips are what this line used. So that’s why we haven’t seen any updates in years. But the good news is they have made a new chip for Nintendo’s next-gen switch coming out sometime next year. So within a year of that coming out, I would expect to finally see a new Shield or Nvidia TV or whatever they call it, using a similar chip to what goes in the Switch 2

I bought BotW right when it came out and I’m still not all that much further than you. I’ve come back to it multiple times, but just can’t get into it. I had trouble with the freezing area too. Took me an hour before I finally stumbled across a solution. I’ve gotten a bit further than you, and it just keeps getting more and more over complicated as you go.

I just don’t think the game is fun, personally. But I also don’t think Skyrim is fun. I’m not really into most open world games. I wish they would make us a new one more in the style of Ocarina and Twilight Princess, but it seems like we’re in the minority
