There are, yes, I live in one. What ever happened to breaking up Micoslop?

antitrust legislation exists

Well, it did once, but it was taken out back and executed quite a while ago. Now it is just “Weekend at Bernie’s” time, see Antitrust is right there points to corpse sitting in a chair with a smile on its face

Yup,

10 uninstall One Drive

20 wait a short period

30 One Drive reinstalls itself

40 notice it

50 goto 10

MythOS, MythOS, where have I seen this name before? Oh yes, a VR game I am replaying called BONEWORKS, released in 2019.

These guys can’t stop stealing from others can they

Video content eats storage like nothing else.

2H video @ 1080p/60fps = 6.3gigs

I use mine the same way, but many people don’t. My parents would rather be logged in on the tv than connect a laptop or other pc for the same access but better results

I only have ~20 flat titles, but well over 100 VR titles, wonder how this would look. Meant to check this out yesterday but forgot once I got home

/AFK (on yt) make some great vids

So much nicer than the issue is between the keyboard and the chair or an I/O error

and don’t call me Shirley

the additions make it sound more appropriate to how they see us

I have 2x orico enclosures, at usb 3.0(not C, I haven’t used that one yet, it has a 2tb m.2) holding a 2tb and an 8 tb SATA platters, and according to the orico site several of their enclosures explicitly state they support TRIM, my 2 don’t explicitly say they support TRIM but I can see the smart status on them

I see it more as a boiling frog, look at California/Colorado/Brazil and I think NY is getting in on it as well, then there is the UK/Australia starting points. The Gov’ts and meta etc are looking for buy in. As the discussion dies down after attestation you will see them try to take another step to submitting actual ID (you have the infra in place, just add this API…) give it a year or so after we’ve moved on to another subject

Any time “they” cry Maude’s line “Won’t someone PLEASE think of the children!” the children’s safety is the furthest thing from their mind. I hope I am wrong, but I have seen too much stuff like this to hold my breath. The more we fight every step the longer it will take to come into effect and we can hope for more buy in, from the less educated on this invasion of privacy of the population, to the resistance instead of acquiescing in advance. Linux distros are the last stand against it from major OSes, Microslop/Apple/iOS/Android are all on board, no fight. There is at least 1 distro that changed their EULA to say that their OS is not to be used in California or Colorado and lists the date that the laws come into effect.

Instead, to ACTUALLY think of the children, parents should be using the built in Parental Controls available on all OSes to keep their children from going places they shouldn’t. Getting into fantasy land here but, these controls should have simple to follow instructions so parents can easily set them up with no tech knowledge, simple access to curated blocklists (a great job for LLMs) so they can easily add an approved block list by age range, and in the case of phones the parental controls should block resetting of the phone to factory settings unless from the parental control settings.

I do not agree with this line of thinking. Instead, I reason that this PR was merged because it is not harmful, and a potential future PR implementing ID verification would not be merged. These are two separate things (PRs/merges), which are not in any way tied to each other causually.

PR vs Merge is a moot point here, I am looking at the bigger picture to see where these choices are leading. By itself the attestation is pointless as anyone can put anything they want, but it is step one - buy in. We should never just look at what is going on around us in isolation or the bigger picture will crush us all.

I hope I didn’t ramble too much here and lose my focus.

Some of us are old enough and have seen enough to KNOW this is not the end of this. They start with little non things like this (age attestation), see how the population takes it, and when they are sure a majority are onboard with this “Not really invasive, voluntary thing” they change it up to be more invasive and non voluntary(age verification). No, this guy shouldn’t be getting death threats, that is stupid, but he should hang his head in shame for complying in advance. The more we fight this, the longer it will take. I am sad the youth of today will never see the web I did.

You will have the same type of net as China, walled off from the rest of us

The boiling pot goes up 1C, then another 1C

Does blocking the channels count? Keep seeing the same 3 guys faces come up on channel after channel after channel. my sub list is large, wonder if my block list is longer yet

I’ll check that out, thanks

And yes mdf/mds think I mixed a video extension

Thanks

I will try that for the .imgs, how about .ccd, bin/cue and iirc .mkv? These images were obtained over two decades ago and have been transferred a few times, certain 1meg/Xkb files may have been lost. Daemon tools and later power iso used to mount these files no prob but I destroyed my windows a while back and am not going back regardless of what I lose as I gained more

Simple and straight forward app is Bottles, get it on your app store. I was trying to get Farming Simulator 2013 installed and it “just wouldn’t install” under lutris so I tried bottles and it worked, just worked. My only issue now is mounting non .iso iso like .ccd .img and one more I can’t remember now.
