The US government doesn’t (to my knowledge at least) have copyright protections so MIT wouldn’t be possible. BSD 0-Clause is just better because e.g. Austria doesn’t allow you to cede copyright to the public domain and CC0 directly mentions the public domain in the terms of the license.

It’s licensed under CC0 to anyone wondering. BSD 0-Clause would probably be better but still fantastic.

They’re gonna steal them next!

I have two 5 1/4" drives in a PC, one doing Bluray XL and the other Bluray and HD-DVD (altough I couldn’t test that feature because nothing supports them anymore and a lot of HD-DVDs are dead from disc rot)

Well yeah, but you can at least not suffer as much by using Fish

Because of the way those captions are stored VLC has to use OCR to convert the .SRT file (which basically stores low resolution b/w images I assume to easier allow for different alphabets) to normal text. I don’t know why the open source solutions are so bad at this (especially considering how good the proprietary solutions seem to be) but I had similar problems ripping a DVD. I would assume that had he turned off the special font VLC uses for the subtitles and instead just seen the raw data there wouldn’t have been a problem. Why VLC doesn’t enable this by default (/ have this) I don’t know.

Pain and suffering (aka an arrays base index is one)

Yes, they are. I only run LLMs locally and Deepseek R1 won’t talk about Tiannamen square unless you trick it. They just implemented the protection badly.

Depends on what software. Anything that happens in the browser works. A lot of other software can be run using Wine. There is some software which still has problems especially when using USB ports as serial ports etc. and a lot of subpar software (un)fortunately just doesn’t work because of it being badly programmed.

There are many safe open source options. If you need help there are ample resources available. If you want to you can also DM me.

Yes, stuck. There are enourmous problems with different institutions having to use ancient PCs because the software doesn’t work on modern ones, be they electron microscopes, hospitals or industrial machinery, causing e.g. enourmous security issues. This is one of the most important reasons why FOSS and why making FOSS software mandatory in government contracts is so important.

Also how come people can’t read the fucking article before commenting?

Don’t even fucking notice him anymore. He’s just everywhere. Making chemical weapons.

That reason being them having no competition in the Mac market.

I’m sorry but “Germ-theory sceptic” is damaging enough considering the last one should have died in the 1800’s.

I had similar problems on Gnome (ArchLinux) which were fixed with a GPU driver change. Apparently the proprietary AMD drivers required for GPU Video encoding are somewhat janky.

Have fun with your back problems!

And now that I have made the post I got some search results:

1. Routers apparently still use MIPS
2. https://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/MIPS-HOWTO-3.html has some MIPS systems you can run Linux on.

If you want to share anything about MIPS though please feel free to comment, I would interest me greatly what the rest of you have to say.

Everything but ffmpeg. ffmpeg was what made me accept (with silent contempt) the Terninal on Windows, fish made me love it on linux

I thought it was sweet corn and tomato pieces, I was pure.

Why?

What sort of deranged person would do something like this?

Just why?
