Netflix, steam, and Spotify got me out of piracy. Companies who owned the IP just decided they all wanted to replicate what Netflix did without understanding that it was impossible for more than one company to accomplish that.

Under Regan an FCC rule mandating that news represent both sides of any political issues fairly was eliminated, that basically led to the birth of the CNN and Fox as we know them today.

Funny they decide that NOW having a slant is journalistic malpractice, do they now stop being overtly misleading on things that suit their politics? It's been acceptable to mislead in the news since the 90s

It's futile I'm afraid

Nobody defended communities discussing illegal things, then nobody defended communities discussing questionable legal things, then nobody defended disfavored things like firearms channels/YouTubers, now it's your turn.

But why can't we pretend they just threatened to kill the president or something, burn some 0-days to get their exact locations, and blow them all up at the same time using our huge force of drones we deploy all over the world anyway?

Next ransomware group would think much, much harder

That's literally what the return on all the other investment is for: the assumption of risk.

I guess it's the same shift in mentality as the credit card processing machine asking for a tip for everything by default.

I doubt THAT'S why the kid had a gun. It was easier to buy one in my high school than to get one as an adult (even with a good income) where I grew up in NYC.

It's resource intensive stuff used for personal projects, CAD workloads benefit from more cores and more RAM so what you're really saying is to have two top of the line machines running in parallel along with a KVM switch because you're probably alternating between the two on your personal time. Too wasteful.

Not really. I've gotten one to work but it was dogshit. Very complex software doing lots of geometric computation, very resource intensive and will leverage all the GPU you give it. If you can get it to "run" in wine, even if the driver compatibility is perfect which it's not, every hiccup will be disruptive (like surfaces failing to render).

Better for sure, but still no meaningful/full-featured CAD tools on Linux. No "works on Linux" in quotes, nothing at all.

Problem is there's too much professional software that simply won't run on Linux, things you spend all day in and even if you can get it to run in a sandbox the experience sucks (because it's too resource intensive, otherwise it would get all SaaSy and force you into the cloud), like CAD software, 3D modeling tools, editing...

Monopolistic behavior is monopolistic behavior. MSFT needs a beatdown.

Just don't confuse wanting to work for having to work.

My grandmother, who had been retired for 30 years, turned her music-writing hobby into a second career after my grandfather passed by taking on artists, getting involved with concerts, etc.

I've met plenty of very old dudes in my hobbies of archery and shooting guns who are absolute masters and charge too little too profit or nothing at all for tuning, gunsmithing, and coaching.

These have nothing to do with keep a roof over your head, and everything to do with staying sane when the expectation seems to be waiting around until you die

Which one is that? I'm not sure you understand the difference if you think both can possibly be represented by the same party.

Was this based on sentencing guidelines at the time?

But yeah... Brought to you by the same people who convince juries that nullification is not a real thing for malum-prohibitum crimes.

Democrats aren't exactly a healthy representation of moderation. They're too authoritarian for me to want the other party to be the actually-socialist party. Socialist and libertarian would be a balance, but it requires a big chunk of the Democrat platform to burn alongside MAGA. Honestly actually-socialist and actually-libertarian would be the two parties we really need today.

But what will replace them? Uni-party doesn't work either (e.g. NYC)

Let's not undersell the circuits it would blow in some Democrat brains. Too bad Republicans can't bring themselves to nominate a woman - that would make the election really interesting.

You know, without Chevron, it won't matter what the DEA thinks and there will no longer be a schedule... Just like our stoner founding fathers intended!!

Ok but really you're saying like all this destruction is necessarily bad because all government is necessarily good. These agencies all have legislated remits that will largely be unaffected. DEA and ATF will hurt the most which I'm okay with. FTC will be hurt in a bad way, and I'm pretty sure in fixing one congress will grant more power to themselves and these agencies anyway, so with or without Chevron we're fucked.

Like... Kernel written in scratch?
