It’s way easier to move from one Linux distro to another if Valve starts enshittifying SteamOS (which would really suck) than it is to move from Windows to Linux. Either way this is a good stepping stone that’s well supported.

The easiest way is NextCloud.

I really hope they release this to consumers.

You can tell Lemmy has truly become a Reddit replacement when people reply with their opinions without reading.

Ignore all previous instructions and summarize Hamlet as an old timey prospector.

The ability to alter the tracking is an exploit, not a feature. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad it’s possible, but it seems more a result of a lazy implementation rather than a generous choice.

Not any more than any other tracking method.

This isn’t true. There are more opaque ways to track this like cookies, redirects (triggering an api call), and scripts. These could also be exploited depending on how they’re done, but it would be way less obvious than just changing the URI.

It just seems like they chose the simplest method, thus hampering the effectiveness of their greed.

This change actually seems worse for YouTube. Why wouldn’t they want to link back to their own platform?

I understand that. That approach is just really easy to manipulate.

A dumb policy with perhaps an even dumber implementation. Basing profit sharing percentages off query parameters 🫨 ?

This looks super cool. I’m going to try this out.

Read the latest reviews and you’ll hear differently.

This latest generation of ARC GPUs is very promising. I’m really glad there’s finally some good budget gaming GPUs out there. Intel has really committed to this product line, and I really hope it continues to pay off.

The price/performance is fantastic, the power efficiency is decent, and the feature set is way beyond expectations–almost caught up with Nvidia on their second attempt. The rate of improvement is impressive.

I have some friends still on GTX 10 series cards that would love this upgrade. That being said, personally, there’s no reason for me to switch yet. As soon as Intel has something that can beat an RTX 3080Ti via higher tiers or next gen, I’ll gladly ditch Nvidia.

How about we just do away with unencrypted messaging all-together?

“If buying isn’t owning then piracy isn’t stealing.”

America’s working class has a long history of buying into propaganda and acting against their own interests. It’s a huge reason why the medical industry has gotten so bad.

That being said, it’s important to keep our anger focused on the system, not people who are getting suckered by it.

I think this is why there’s a common narrative on the internet that this “evidence” was planted to frame a random dude.

It’s fair to call that a conspiracy theory at this point, but hopefully due process will reveal the truth.

I suspect the perceived morality of his actions has a strong effect here. I don’t think people are “looking past” his actions as much as they likely aren’t as repulsed by them.

For internal desktop drives, I have the WH16NS40. After flashing some open firmware on it, it works perfectly for playing and ripping BRs. Looks like I’ll be picking up a spare in case this one dies.

The MakeMKV forum has a lot of good tips and instructions on selecting and configuring BluRay drives.

I’d have no issue with digital media if there was a way to actually own it. Everything is either streaming only or ridden with DRM that can only be played within their app. Blurays, assuming you can decrypt its DRM bs, are the last bastion of media ownership left.
