I thought the issue was they wanted search engines to be able to see the content, but not non paying viewers? Hence slightly shitty paywalls.

That’s a fair point, other than I do need to work at home on occasion!

I’ll have a good think about it.

I keep seeing these " time to move to Linux" threads. For my work I have to use super proprietary software which I know for a fact is Windows only. Not only that it’s GPU intensive CPU intensive and niche. I’m sure there’s a way to run Windows within Linux but I can only imagine the pain in trying to get proprietary shite to work.

On top of that I need specific CAD software, Photoshop and Illustrator. I don’t think any of these daily used programs support Linux.

From the outside, Linux just seems like an absolute ball ache to get working with all of the things I currently do without even thinking about it.

I’d love to do it. Not sure it’s going to work. Am I wrong?

This post reads like a really shit brag. I’m certain your daughter would also be doing great in life if you hadn’t harmed her.

You seem proud of causing her physical pain due to her unexpected expression of big emotions. You probably did great raising her on the whole if she is doing great in life, so why you would think that hitting her is the thing you want to highlight to randoms on the internet is weird.

Kids throw tantrums. It’s hard on parents when that happens, but those of us with kids (and probably many others too) have total sympathy for the parent in that situation. Some passersby will get annoyed, sure, but they can just turn the corner and not deal with it, so they will get over it.

Getting down to your kids’ level and talking through their behaviour and feelings is hard work, but it’s better than physically hurting a defenceless child.

Next time you fuck up, perhaps you should be slapped about? Or how about if your behaviour annoys me, perhaps I should slap you. Maybe I should wait until no one else can see though, I wouldn’t want to be judged or get into trouble, just like you took her home to hit her!

Internet forums hate kids on the whole, so I don’t expect many to agree with my views. But as a parent of some great kids, none who have ever been physically hurt by their parents, I can tell you there is always an alternative to being violent with them.

Just rented a Tesla on holiday. None of it works while driving.

Have to say though I do like the car!

I also can make up statistics.

The concept of f droid is great. The UI and UX absolutely suck.

However it is functional, it is free and isn’t run by a limitlessly budgeted mega corp.

I run some windows-only proprietary software. Realistically what’s the performance like with Wine or whatever it is that emulates windows?

I run a lot of GPU accelerated CAD

Parity in this case would likely mean nearly everyone just buys directly from steam. No doubt Sony would infect the gaming process by injecting their launcher no matter what you do, but steam will get their 30%.

I don’t know what Sony could offer on their own storefront that plays well with parity rules to make people choose it over steam.

But the thought of them operating their own store front and offering steam keys with every sale won’t happen. Valve have stopped that in the past.

Maybe the journalists that levelled the accusations public ally should contribute?

CGNAT is certainly becoming a real issue. In the UK at least legacy providers have millions of IP addresses in the bank and new disruptive providers do not have access to these except at extremely inflated rates.

When I changed one of these new disruptive providers I was unaware that CGNat would be imposed and all of my security cameras were no longer accessible. Fortunately they did move me off CGNat when I asked but they said it may not be forever.

Like always I don’t think this will be dealt with in any speedy capacity, unless we get lucky and some correctly positioned legislator can’t do what they want to do with their internet connection. Then it might get expedited.

I watched it with my kids and felt uncomfortable. This sort of video is not the same as elephants toothpaste.

I don’t suffer through rober videos so my kids can now worry people want to drop bombs on them at a stadium.

Thanks mark.

This all works until Google cut off API access to a competitor right? Relying partly on a Google API is surely suicidal for a Google Search competitor…

In this specific instance we are talking about a luxury item that absolutely nobody needs. Anyone who would be buying this would be buying it out of choice. I think this is an instance where terms conditions set by the company of such a niche product is reasonably fair.

Flip it over and apply terms and conditions like this on mainstream consumer goods then we have a bigger problem. If this works I think you may find a lot of luxury car makers initially follow suit, you can bet that companies like BMW would absolutely love to take a cut of all second-hand sales.

It’s a slippery slope.

USB C was a hardware change. Economically it was not viable to run separate production lines of lightning/ USB-C phones.

RCS is a software issue. Supporting RCS in certain regions but not others (the US for example) is much simpler.

That’s what they want. Consume ads, pay or stop using bandwidth.

I am unsure how much they care about views when so many have adblockers. It will be a useful metric when the huge majority can not block ads.

Get Sync for Lemmy. Never get rickrolled again!

The other way to look at it is that

1. I upgraded my prusa for years to every new model released for much less than the cost of a new printer. They provided upgrade kits for sale.

2. I made my own enclosure, works great. Downloaded the parts and followed a guide. Prusa one looks nice though.

3. My PSU had some potential issues 6 years after I bought it and they still sent me a replacement free of charge.

4. The prusa slicer software has filament profiles built in that work perfectly on the printer with no testing. They are adding them constantly. There’s something nice about not having to do test etc.

Could you consider a prusa mk 4? It’s set and forget, not as fast as Bambu but no slouch. Support is excellent, open source and parts readily available.
