Activision deal provisionally approved
Makes sense. How about apps? I often read about popular apps that are not encrypting their traffic.
Netflix is so out.
I actually followed your advice yesterday (everything is ok again now) and streamed from my phone. Thanks :)
Thanks. It actually means a lot to me that you get me to an extent. I was born like this. My thinking is harshly different and most people agree with me after long winded explanation but the initial reaction is often hostile. It even gets to a point where people get violent. These days more emotionally but also physically when I was young. It's how I experience autism.
Thanks for letting me know! I'll check it out.
well, then go troll someone else. blocked.
The used CD option is actually very awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I do have a plex server which I use for Movies and Shows (which are actually all ripped blu rays in the basement) :)
I find your comment highly condescending. Care to elaborate?
Sounds awesome. I have like 6 small speakers and a tv bar. Not ready to drop them rn since I too want to be able to listen to music taking a shower while my wife listens to something else in the living room. I'm pretty sure people will have figured this out somehow. Time to find some audiophile selfhosted community. :) Besides that, I tend to ask myself why does a service have no viable/selfhosted competition. Most times it is anticompetitive behavior afaik but we're unable to see it because they're discreet.
I have barely anything to add to that. Awesome thoughts. Sonos has since fallen out of grace with me as well (same as apple) but I own both brands still since I don't throw things away if I can help it and exchanging them rn would only hurt me. So I try to make do until the very last moment and then I will switch. I'm stubborn like that.
Speaking of old music: I'm a violinist and mostly listen to bach (mostly performed by hilary hahn). I have visited two of her concerts and plan on buying her album(s) on vinyl once I get wifi on my vinyl player. Other than that its mostly CCR. So old music is my favorite as well.
Thank you very much for elaborating. I'll see to it that I at least have a fall back library soon. :)
I can see why you would think that. I think this video explains it well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDPPig9JR5Y.
TL;DW: Capitalism in it's true form was "I give you this, you give me that". Exchange of goods. And from that perspective, it has worked. But now that nobody sells stuff anymore but holds you or the goods you want hostage, it has devolved back to the old system of feudalism where you live somewhere and the king asks for your work and money so you can live there.
I'm not saying thats the only way to look at it but I find the explanation pretty good. It would explain why so many people who are actually very good at trading things struggle in this climate now while others now thrive who have no clue how to produce viable products.
I read through your answer completely. Thank you. It’s actually (again) mostly the same thinking process I have and my ideas are mostly the same.
That I am trying to say is that the reaction „post all logs and outcomes of these commands“ is exactly how I like it. Classic troubleshooting. Professional, just great.
What I take issue with is assuming to know why a person said something. I asked if the product I wrongly assumed is for profit made is just trash or if I got it wrong. The exact wording is different but the context of both my post and comments clearly shows that I am not assuming I know everything. Thats why I asked.
It’s a misunderstanding, I get it but it shows me that you actually shouldn’t ask here since you need to obey to an arbitrary rule of law which is completely different from any nettiquette.
And lastly, as you said, internet points show if a comment is helpful. My post and comments were helpful both in describing the problem and explaining how I drew the conclusion.
I‘m not taking this personal, I‘m trying to show that shitting on people, however wrong or stupid they may seem, is our problem everywhere. It’s actually why people get redicalized irl. Because they are misunderstood and then reigned in by bad actors.
So my conclusion is: be careful who you (as in everyone) shit on because you’re actively making the world a worse place. One post/comment at a time. It’s fun for you and your superior buddies, but not for the other one. That makes you bullies, nothing else.
News break: capitalism is on its way out. Now we have tech feudalism (enshittification as a business model). Rejoice!
Thanks for explaining. This makes sense. In the subs I moderate I take care of this kind of behavior as it drives away the people I actually want in the community and only keeps bullies.
Thanks for answering. I do the same with my blu rays and dvds but I haven’t had local music for years so I will have to look at that.
My problem also is that not apple music is down but sonos, which is not a subscription service but physical hardware that I have bought. The old „kill switch“ problem so to speak.
I‘ll look into finding a solution that makes me able to go around online obligation.
Have a good day. :)
Thanks for elaborating. That makes sense.
And in the last part comes what I don’t understand. I never called the project trash, even before editing. I asked if it was trash or I was missing something (which I was, and someone could have just said so).
I assumed (wrongly) that is was abandonware or something since it literally looked like the windows version stripped of all but basic functionality.
And this is why people don’t like to come to computer centric, and especially linux centric communities. Being frustrated and maybe even out of line does not give anyone the right to dogpile.
Thanks for elaborating. I would simply argue that my question was legit and it upsets me that I get downvoted on every comment (and my post) for asking a question, of which I edited most to reflect the new knowledge I gathered. I assumed something that wasn't the case, my bad. I still think my post and comments were a good addition to this community for someone who searches for this information in the future. Thats why I dont unterstand the downvotes.
Thanks for making your opinion abundandly clear. That acutally helped a great deal. :)
I, sadly have the same nvidia problem. Good example btw how hard it is to find good information about linux stuff. I read a lot of posts on nvidia vs amd and most were like "it doesn't really matter but amd is more cooperative". Thats the issue. I would argue that someone who is making a linux build should absolutely stay away from nvidia but people are not as clear.
And thanks too for the suggestion. i will definitely write an email to elgato voicing my frustration.
Meta: May I ask something else? Why is it that linux centric subs often get called out for being condescending, dogpiling and gatekeeping? My case is a great example. I voiced frustration while apparently being ignorant. Instead of just telling me "take that up with elgato" people got offended (i assume) and downvoted and outright piled up on me. That is the exact opposite of welcoming new posters. I happen to moderate c/ubuntuserver and r/ubuntuserver where I delete comments dogpiling on ignorant people all the time and even get modmail asking why I allow ignorant people to ask questions in a support community. I don't get it. Can't we just try and answer peoples questions?
Now I agree on all points. I actually have had no issues configuring linux server for the past two years and I probably just assumed the desktop variant would be as mature as the server variant. On top came the drastically different ui. And yes, community devs are very approachable. I have solved a lot of issues with minecraft servers that way, thanks to those devs.
Just so you know, these are the reasons I assumed linux is in most parts on par with windows, ui wise:
- firefox = non distinguishable from windows imo
- vs code = non distinguishable
- libre office = looks a bit older than ms office 2013 but is insanely responsive and works like a charm
- linphone = looks and works very good
- steam = looks the same and is a lot faster than on windows
- element desktop = looks and feels the same
- obs = same
- blender = same
These are 8 pieces of software that were mindblowingly good. Three of them are for profit afaik (but still open source) VS Code, Linphone, Element. Steam I think is closed. Imagine the shock I then had when installing streamdeck. All others are 99% on par (and some better) than windows.
I'm definitely impressed with Linux. I just don't think it is helpful to dogpile on someone who is asking questions instead of just informing them. That is ultimately what a forum is for afaik.
It doesn’t read all that bad but what is the problem with shutting down megacorps? Like just keep them from amassing more and more IP in one place you fucking morons!
