I remember thinking that in 1998 too. It is too late to extend copyright for Steamboat Willie before it expires but that does not mean that corps like Disney won be fighting tooth and nail to extend it again in a few years when things they actually care about are expiring.

Yeah. It had a few moments of character interaction that I liked but it mostly felt forced and dull. Sad really as it could have been much more than flashy.

The story lines they fabricated were (mostly) formulaic, the effects were (mostly) poor, and the characters were (mostly) unlikable. Apart from that I liked it! :P

It had a few moments that I enjoyed but overall it fell flat because the characters where flat.

Such optimism that it wont be extended again.

Some of us are IT admins who have been in the game since the 1990 and have seen this happen before. The chances of a good outcome wrt Threads are vanishingly small. Not zero for sure, but damn close.

BTRFS is honestly really great and has been for the last few years. Dont take the word of random people on the interwebs, check out some modern sources of info on the subject. Some people love to complain about RAID5/6 but if you use BTRFS the BTRFS way then it is solid.

With that said, if you dont need snapshots, drive mirroring, sub volumes, bit rot protection etc then EXT4 is hard to beat for reliability.

Oh. My. Goo.

The Galileo is hanging on my tree right now! My mom bought it for me in 1992 and it is one of the only ornaments I put up. I leave the rest of that to the kids. I am not very festive…

I worked for Interplay back in the 90s. It was pretty great for me, launching my IT career. Working in QA did temporarily ruin my ability to play games for fun though.

you commented :

why does KDE need a specific videoplayer?

I have not seen anything that indicates KDE requires a specific video player. So I was asking does it NEED a specific player or just have a default that it is installed with?

Does it NEED a specific player or just come with a default?

Seems more of an Arch platform…

Also the App could trivially bypass your local DNS and use its own. Even if you blocked port 53 in an attempt to prevent this it would be useless if the app used DNS over HTTPS.

I love PiHole for ad blocking, but against this it is ineffective.

Third. KDE is really amazing now.

Because they dont have to.

Its just cable with more steps.

Holy Shit! there is a new one?!?

I consider Connections to be one of the best things ever put on television and still rewatch it periodically. I am off to hunt down the new one right now.

Guinan stabbing Q in the hand with a fork was one of the highlights of STNG

I was using Proton Free for the last year and they are great but am currently giving Surfshark a try since they had an even cheaper deal going on recently. So far so good.
