Parrot is a pentesting setup, it isn't practical or appropriate as a daily driver.

This isn't a thing because there are many comics that don't adhere to "frames". They overlap with others, use the whole page, etc.

But beyond this, decompress your CBR/cbz files and use imagemagick to find frames and isolate them.

Thank you.

This is exactly the root of separation of church and state. This. Exact. Situation.

ELK stack

Lolol yes, elastic was a pig for me too

That's a good point, and it's one that isn't solved yet in the foss space.

There are some success stories like Blender, and other projects like Thunderbird and KDE who have recently made their model work through voluntary donations, albeit by hiring competent management of such donations. And there are lots and lots of projects somewhere in between.

The interesting questions to me aren't so much about Plex, but the infrastructure behind all the tools we use: NTP on Linux, build tools, ffmpeg libraries, etc. Lots of other companies make products that make money, yet kick back nothing to these.

Would a royalty system work? I dont know.

Yes, you got this bang-on. Plex made the decision long ago.

There are a few ways Plex could have played this:

1. By attrition. Stop the sale of plex pass, but leave those users and their access alone. New sign-ups get new rules about features/$.
2. By using some of their revenue to paywall Premium features, keep a cut-down but functional version for non-paying plebs. It doesn't have to be all-or-nothing, even for streaming outside your network (which you could cap at X number of hours per month)
3. Start making Plex features a-la-carte, meaning, $2/mth for HDR, 4$ for streaming, etc. Or bundles.

The point is there are lots of companies who do this right and don't have such a blatant disregard for the user. In the long run, this will not help Plex, it will help other streaming service helpers who are actually willing to respect users.

I know you're not defending Plex and I acknowledge that. However, I see a lot of "How are they supposed to make their money?" arguments here, hence my description above of just a few models Plex could have chosen instead of f**king the customer.

I agree they aren't the same, especially if you need uniq to count things.

However, be aware that pipes can be a real problem in scripts because of globbing and expansion.

Enlightenment is SO configurable that it almost doesn't have a look, and therefore doesn't really have "brand' per se. Take a look at galleries and collections of enlightenment setups: they're all massively different in look and behaviour.

I remember in my early days of Linux (late 90s) it was too much for me.

That's not true, our phones, ms teams, discord, etc do this real time all the time. Audio isolation is one of the most widespread audio processing.

I agree.

I will add, however, that Jeff's main concern isn't the policy itself, but that he and other youtubers can't see it or know what the rules are. The lack of transparency is the real issue.

YouTube restored the video, but not until Jeff had made a huge stink about it (and rightfully so, those yt fuckers can eat a dick).

Clout and profit.
