Isn’t that the thing NVIDIA was found to be lying about?

Youre right, its a game people are ‘told’ to buy, rather than a recommendation. The first thing they see when they start up their console will be an ad for it.

Always remember that, in the eyes of the law, the real crime is being poor.

They never released music, just metadata. It doesnt matter. This injunction is just legal posturing. They have no jurisdiction to tell foreign domain registrars to do anything. It takes an actual cop walking in on a data center to finally seize a site (surrender hard drives, reroute domains, etc.) If the server is in another country, it takes years to go through the red tape. If the country is not collaborative, it will never happen, specially since piracy is seen as a very low priority issue in the grand scheme of cyber crime.

Not personally but I think that tribalism is one of tools used by mega corporations to implement abusive practices. So claims that “console gamers will buy anything they’re told to” is a bad take that deviates conversations to put a blame on console gamers that is not honest.

the effects.

That you now know that a new product is being sold. Your arguments don’t make sense. How are people supposed to know what to buy if they don’t find out about it somehow, someplace? That place being Twitch, Steam, a webpage review, their best friend, a curated list by a popular YouTuber, etc. It is irrelevant. There’s nothing special on whether someone is a console or PC gamer. No one just buys whatever X source tells them to buy. That’s a desire to dehumanize someone just because they play games different than you. That’s intolerance and tribal thinking of the stupidest order.

Did I? the whole conversation is moot. Why wouldn’t a store show you what it is selling? Yes, launch titles get the spotlight for a while. Should movie theaters remove all the posters because it is disgusting marketing(?). There’s a difference between that and egregious, invasive and unethical advertisement. But it is impossible to expect a point of sale to not advertise what it sells. Even still, Steam allows you to disable startup ads and you can also boot directly to library so you don’t have to see the store page ever unless you want to. It’s so much different from what Play Station and Xbox do.

A store telling you what it sells?

Oh! The outrage! The audacity!

Yeah, but they caught that one on the rise, changing from tower defense to battle royale. While extraction shooters are already old news.

I know, since 2024. I’ve seen what they did, and their windows tiling and snap management is still egregiously inferior to almost every other desktop environment. So much so that people still pay for the app because it is so much better than default macOS, adding shortcuts, for example.

Apple’s UI has always been a joke. A case of looks pretty but is actually annoying and impractical to use. The greatest Apple joke is that you need to pay for a third party app to get basic window snapping. That is just one of many UI issues. It does look nice on screenshots though.

Well, that’s if they were on a bicycle, but they’re standing on a paddle board over the ice. Why would they stand on a bicycle? that doesn’t make sense. Neither does a paddle board on ice, but I already lost track of what the metaphor was about.

Truenas apps are just docker containers that were written by someone else anyways. You can always just turn them into a custom app and see it’s internal composition, o just make a custom app and choose the image and settings yourself exactly like in portainer.

Bills? This is about controlling the narrative. Billionaires don’t think in terms of money, but in terms of optics. Keep the proper image up, and the money will come in on its own.

Might be a jellyfin setting. I discovered that while the players report the device capabilities (with some caveats), some edge cases make the server still transcode video because it instructs certain formats to always transcode. There are too many variables and the server plays it safe. The biggest culprit is bitrate.

I have tailscale linked to github’s Auth. Is there any way to migrate all the machines safely to an alternative while keeping the same tailnet settings?

Slippery slope fallacy. We know that consumption of real CSAM might increase frustration and lead to pursuit of real crimes. However, we don’t have the same level of evidence for illustrations or sex dolls. It’s a massive blind side in the scientific literature. It’s very hard to study.

Despite this, the number one risk factor still remains unsupervised access to minors. Regardless of whether the abuser consumes abuse media or not.

Because meta wasn’t good for it, hence why it wasn’t popular at all.

Reputation is such a strange phenomenon. XP was considered a disaster at launch. It took them years to repair everything that didn’t work.

The rollout of 64 bit architecture support was so sloppy that people were holding on to old hardware so as to not have to install the x64 version of XP. The premiere of the NT kernel meant that nothing had drivers, most software wasn’t compatible yet. DirectX 9 broke half of old games compatibility. There were also two entirely different versions of the shell with dramatically different start menus. Some versions didn’t support multi core CPUs.

Not to mention that XP actually spans three different OSs. Upgrades were just a reinstall wizard of the OS.

It wasn’t until the end life of XP and the launch of Vista that people started to cling to XP SP2 and its reputation switched due to a mix of nostalgia and fear of the much worse launch of Vista.

Lol, this is far from the first time this has been done. Gotta give it to Apple marketing, they can still get away with “inventing” 5 year old technology in front of the gullible crowds.
