I guess, no one NEEDS a video streaming platform.

Nobody NEEDS social media, but when a social media does something harmful, they need to be regulated.

That’d be well and good if they didn’t have a monopoly.

Then go by muscle % x body weight or something.

many of which wirh anti cheat, it’s not worth making the switch just yet.

I get that. Shit like that is the only reason I stick with a dual boot.

Also, I got a NAS recently with OpenMediaVault and I only have the time to tinker with one thing at a time :P

I also get that. My self hosted gaming server can be a bit of work sometimes.

Any advice on the switch though, or tools you use lmk!

Two things, I’d go with Linux Mint Debian Edition if I we’re you. I’ve found it to be the most compatible with my games, (like 9 out of 10 or so), and have had zero major issues/glitches with it. Plus it avoids the drauam surrounding ubuntu.

The second thing is to keep a separate “home” partition for your documents/pictures/game saves/etc. Mine is [Name]_STC, with the acronym being a nod to wh40k’s Standard Template Constructs. The idea being it isn’t named something generic like “home”, or worse using the home folder.

And anytime I need to back up shit, I just zip the whole partition and put it on a separate drive. If something happens, I copy my standard template construct.

That’s on you then.

Why wait?

“Why are there so many comments removed in this thread?” is a legitimate question.

This is basically a smear campaign

If showing failures in moderation constitutes a smear campaign, maybe don’t go banning people because they disagree with you.

You can simultaneously be in both chambers, that’s the nice thing about federation

Not if they ban you for asking the most basic of questions about moderation, or for having a different opinion.

Banning people for having different opinions is bad.

It’s not that simple though due to the Federation. The .ml community are blended together with everything.

Asking for more reasonable moderation isn’t a big ask.

OP isn’t taking issue with that. They’re taking issue with the CPP/USSR apologetics.

Good. Now make it work for everyone’s tax situation.

Agreed. I have zero regret.

Void star labs/Zach Freedman moment

Everything is bigger in Texas

* Except the paycheck

If somebody gets access to your system, they could use that to blackmail you, and/or frame you for distributing said media.

“Give us $X, or we leak and distribute Y media on your behalf, and you will get sued by the corporate goons for shit loads of money”

The only real solution is to completely overhaul IP law, and/or nationalizing funding for the arts. If we’re gonna keep corps that own/produce media, then they should have a very short and limited amount of time to distribute it before it becomes common property of the people.

However, cost is currently a prohibitive issue to widespread use, the researchers said. While petroleum is readily available to siphon from the ground, widespread infrastructure for algae farming will be needed for plastics made of the bio-based polymer to become used en masse, Burkart said.

However, the process the researchers devised can also be applied to other plant-based material, Burkart said.

The researchers hope their new process can eventually be implemented widely for food packaging, Pomeroy said.

“But if you’re going to ask me, ‘Could we do this with anything?’ I’m pretty sure we could do this with most anything,” he said.

Sounds like an economy of scales problem, and the scale isn’t there. Fixable, but not great.

The biggest issue isn’t who is in charge, it’s the fact that humans are fundamentally incapable of cooperating across large groups.

I’m not so sure that this is an inherent problem with humanity so much as it is a symptom of our current political and economic systems and culture.

Take you pandemic/mask example for instance. Pretty much everyone was on board with masks, social distancing, etc, until a few weeks/months in when it got politicized. Conservative leaders saw they could rile up their base by take a stance against the science. And they took advantage of our cultural preference for individualism where we could instead have a more collectivist culture.

These systems and cultural norms aren’t inherent to humans. It’s inherent to our shitty half-democracy, capitalism, etc.

But those same salt of the earth workers are going to negotiate climate controls with China?

The oil lobby pays shit loads of money to propagandize the population in the exact same way the tobacco industry did it. Start dealing with that, and the workers won’t buy the bullshit propaganda anymore.

To me it is ridiculous that companies can even own other companies. The only real purpose of doing so is to play shenanigans with regulations, obfuscate responsibility, and generally deceive.

And for the “corps are people” crowd, owning people is wrong.

Best case scenario, they learn from No Man’s Sky with what few devs they have left. Worst case scenario, the game remains shit, and we all continue to enjoy modded to hell KSP 1/Juno/etc.
