Well, TIL

So, Debian? Named after Debra and Ian (now divorced though)

Same thing in Europe. But I think in the US everything is allowed (surprise surprise)

Nah, Deep Rock look way better and more fun

That doesn’t mean it’s a smart thing to do…

Why would anyone use Ubuntu on a server? Ubuntu is basically Debian unstable + non-free drivers that they tried to get sorta stable in 6 months. That may be ok on a desktop where you can accept some bugs in exchange for newer versions of the software. But why would you not run Debian stable on a server instead?

Maybe 10 years ago when Debian stable got really out-of-date, but that hasn’t been true in a looong time. Debian releases much more frequently, much stabler, it has all the goid stuff from Ubuntu backported but none if the bad stuff.

Internet speeds are already fast enough. The problem is latency and it’s impossible to fix. You can’t beat the speed of light. You just can’t have a 200ms delay between your controller and something happening in the screen.

But…really? No critical thinking?

It’s quickly stomped out by groupthink. Other people point to lack of education, but I don’t think that’s correct. They are surrounded by Republicans. All their friends and family are republicans. Most people in their towns are.

Going against the group means being ostracized. They see the amount if hate and vitriol being cast at the others and they are terrified that it will be cast at them. So they always go along with the group, never against it. They can think critically but they won’t ever do so out loud.

Look at how even some far right people have been painted as liberal hacks by Republicans just for not being far right enough.

They are absolutely terrified that will happen to them.

There are several goverments, like the Dutch, that have already set up their own instances.

Kbin-only image cache bug

IIRC it’s a kbin isduIsue only. Some problem with cached images

Thinking this shit isn’t serious is why the US has multiple mass shootings per day

Best cat ever

Compulsory licensing for streaming should be a thing. It exists for radio, why not video? Let services get 1-2 years of exclusivity. After that it’s fair game for any streaming service to stream it. All services pay into a pool that gets refistributed to the rights holders. We have been doing that for decades for radio, for the EU blank media tax, etc. It’s a solved problem.

Courts have often agreed with shareholders in shareholder lawsuits about such things

The rule is so that you can see what part of the fee is mandated by the government and what part is charged by the ISP. The ISPs are trying to blame price increases on the government. This will show they are lying.

Batteries are heavy, for now

Seems to be just for this weekend. If you want to play after that, you need to buy it

On kbin you can block domains. It’s the next best thing.
