The first one is pretty much down to, as Gabe Newell puts it, “piracy is a service problem”. Spotify came along and (initially) provided a much better service compared to pirating your music at the time. Once they created the market segment, competitors started their own streaming subscriptions. I’d also say the Google music “upload 50,000 tracks for free” got a lot of former pirates to jump.
Now the services are going through the same enshittification that most popular online services seem to be going through, we can see piracy increasing again. Someone will notice and fill the gap in providing a good service again at some point and the pendulum will swing once more
Plex is probably the easiest and most convenient, I think jellyfin is viable too, but I don’t use it.
If you’ve got the money, Roon or Audirvana are the gold standard of self hosted music
If you want something similar, but free, look into things like volumio or subsonic based solutions.
I think the borderlands games take the award for the quantity of egregious pop culture references
I feel like there should be a prize for this
Perhaps involving a french antique with a place to rest one’s head
We’re pretty good at committing acts of economic self harm
Traitors is pretty good TV, I guess
Legitimately the Japanese convenience stores are peerless compared to anything outside their country.
Family mart over 7-11 though IMO
I’ve been an engineer for about two decades now and pretty much everyone I’ve ever worked with has expressed that they would never work for Facebook, betting companies or defense companies.
Amazon is probably next on the shit list and then Google, but each to a much lesser extent than the ones before. Working for Google still holds a level of prestige for some people.
My view on this is that Ofcom fucked it on this long ago really and the horse has already bolted
We should have gone with an openreach style model for the infrastructure rather than doling out exclusive rights to chunks of spectrum in an entirely uneven manner.
This model can’t really sustain more than a few companies because, using this as an example: three has a fantastic 3G network and the best 5G network, however they have no 2G network and got shafted on 4G spectrum. Vodafone has almost a polar opposite of the best 2G coverage (still useful for very remote customers) and 4G coverage comparable to EE.
The only way for these two companies to cover the patches in their service and complete with the market leader effectively is a merger, which is how EE came to exist in the first place.
I’m not sure I buy the pricing-people-out angle either tbh, we have a pretty rich market of MVNOs who act as an anchor on the MNO pricing, and it would look like anti-competitive market collision if suddenly the operating costs for these companies went up after a merger.
I guess out of fear that we get another gitlab situation, where the open source offering has a load of key features eventually kept behind a paywall
Makes sure all writes are flushed to disk
On reflection probably not needed as I think reboot does that too
Why stop there
curl $windows_iso_url | sudo dd of=/dev/sda bs=4M && sudo sync; sudo reboot
(Do not run this)
That and anecdotally, these high capacity SD cards seem to quickly reach the temperature of the sun during any kind of sustained large file transfer
That’s the manual setup for use cases like on a server or whatever (a common place where you would need port forwarding)
Also, that software engineer and IT are not interchangeable terms
Yep exactly that, it’ll be a cookie (not a tracking cookie, which would require some kind of unique ID) that will be set to ensure the website doesn’t show their consent banner every time—i.e. remembering the results of your refusal of tracking consent.
It’s a good point
But the accusation isn’t flippant. That’s exactly what this is.
