One of my favourite anecdotes is that the agency stole the music in that ad. After a lot of effort the guy that made it finally got them to pay royalties.

As a man... that sounds about right lol. I was watching a show and then realised if I wanted the later seasons I'd have to subscribe to a different service and I took that personally and got annoyed and now I just pirate stuff. No one tells this manly feller what to do.

I'm a fan. I've been playing a heap of Shattered Pixel Dungeon lately which is a fork of Pixel Dungeon. I think it's really cool that anyone can make their own fork of a base project and tweak it how they like. Especially if the original ever gets abandoned.

I'm a game dev by trade, but more of an artist than a programmer, but I like to work on little hobby projects and being able to look into source code is really helpful and nice.

That's where the specificity comes in. Like you said, the imagery bans etc. I'm not sure the ideology will be easy to get rid of but we can at least implement some common sense laws to help curb it. In Australia we had some nazi rallies and we made it illegal to do the nazi salute or display nazi symbols. We're a bit backward and racist most of the time, but I'm glad we draw the line at literal nazis.

And reduce the amount of lanes from 10 to 9? You're crazy, there's no way it'll work.

/s

Laws can be pretty specific. Consider, if you will, a law against Nazis. It can't really be abused in any way because it's only targeting Nazis. It's the same reason why murder is illegal but handshakes aren't.

probably cheaper

I just wanted to say that this is very well said.

I hate how quickly "AI" has been adopted for tasks it is wholly incapable of doing well, merely fast.

That's me after typing a three paragraph response to someone and realising I don't give a shit and deleting it.

I was curious about how this approach differed from gentrification and thought I'd leave what I had learnt for other curious people.

It seems the main difference is in displacing the existing residents. The improvements suggested by the article are small things that help the community. Gentrification would be the other way around where shiny new homes are built to attract wealthier residents and then the area is improved afterwards to accommodate them, pricing out the existing population.

It's a small change in the approach to improving an area but it makes a big difference.

And here I was thinking defunding it would yield the biggest improvements. Astonishing

Doesn't quite have the same ring to it, but I think so.

Roux is flour and butter. Bechamel is a roux + milk. Mornay is a bechamel + cheese.

Never feel any shame, they're all noodles and they're all pasta.

is there any reason why we can't still use NAT with IPv6? it seems like that would solve at least some of the problems.

I was talking about this with a friend just the other night. A lot of those services can actually be helpful. The problem is they're so often predatory and just target people with the idea that they can buy things they can't afford.

I remember doing an IT course over a decade ago and learning about IPv6 taking over, honestly surprised it hasn't yet. I just looked it up and apparently they came up with it in 1998. How is it taking so long? Is there some technical reason it's harder or something? Does the extra address size mean a not so great trade off in traffic or something?

note: I did study a bit of networking and IT but have forgotten everything mostly and work in a different field, thus my ignorance.

I used to just pirate stuff I couldn't find through other means but I finally snapped the other night when a series was split up over different services. I'm not paying for more services just to watch one show. Piracy ahoy.

This is a bit different to DEs. X11 and Wayland are display server protocols. For some time all DEs used X11, but it wasn't perfect and had some issues, so some folks came up with Wayland to replace it. I don't know a lot about the differences but one example I have is that you can't have two monitors with different resolution scaling on X11. Wayland solves that issue.

X11 has been around for a long time, though, and does a lot of stuff, probably more stuff than a display server should. and so a lot of Linux programs have come to rely on those things. This means that the change to Wayland is not straight forward, it meant rewriting a whole bunch of X11 functionality that Wayland would never add.

This will probably be a good thing in the long run, but as of now a lot of people are still not ready to change. And to mirror your sentiment, nor should they have to.

Also: I probably don't know as much about this topic as some others, so correct me at will.
