Representatives don’t give a fuck what their constituents have to say on social media. It’s full of foreign trolls and bots.
But if you go in person to a town hall / public hearing on an agenda item, they know that you are:
Source: I successfully killed a local zoning change by convincing my neighbors to go out and speak against it, despite lobbying from a large developer.
You didn’t mention a lack of ads. They remove all the ads when you subscribe, right?
You mean “slam”
So, all posts are from the perspective of people that are really into music. Enthusiasts that care deeply about individual albums and artists.
Whereas streaming services are most likely designed to cater to casual listeners like me. I can’t remember the last time I listened to an entire album. I haven’t liked any individual artist enough to attend a live concert. I generally listen to music while I’m doing stuff as background noise.
I used to listen to the radio for that. But streaming services algorithms were a strict upgrade to that due to lack of ads and talk show hosts.
Honestly, I don’t know if I’ll be able to determine whether a given piece of music is AI generated or not by listening to it.
So I don’t think direct purchase of digital LPs could ever be viable for people like me. And I’m guessing (based on the success of streaming services) that there are a lot more people like me than there are enthusiasts. Yes, I can switch to the least bad streaming service according to Lemmy, out of solidarity (and no other reason). Remember 99% of people won’t do that.
Just adding a perspective that might be missing from this community
Yes, but ported C# usually doesn’t make for the most idiomatic Python.
99% of the time that doesn’t matter, but a highly security sensitive reverse proxy shared by multiple users most likely part of the stack to be attacked might be an exception.

No, it’s pretty clear that you’re the one that LOVES where the world is going. You have zero interest in changing where things are going, you just want the satisfaction of saying “I told you so”.
Well, guess what. Everyone else already knows everything you do. The volunteers are systemd aren’t going go to jail for you. They haven’t implemented age verification yet (no, an optional field in a schema is nothing close to verification) because they haven’t been forced to yet. If laws pass such that they have to add it or go to jail, yes they’ll implement it.
And when that happens, it will be because people like you took the effort to divide us instead of presenting a unified front against the corporations that are lobbying to take away our privacy.
But you won’t care about the last part, because you’ll be feeling too smug from “calling it”.
And you can go contact your local/state/federal government representatives (I mean actually call, or go to town halls). But you won’t, because hating on systemd is more important to you than your privacy.
It’s as plain as day. You’ll agree with me in a few years.
You’re shooting the messenger. Meta and others are lobbying governments hard for this. They’re the ones causing you to lose your privacy. Not the volunteers that maintain systemd.
Shrug. Meta employees make bank.
Dunno how attractive they are viewed as, because everyone there I personally know were already married before they joined Meta.
Pretty sure most of that was actually the Saudis paying their bribes independent civilian purchases in exchange for their new air base on US soil.
I remember specifically buying an Nvidia GPU in 2009 because their proprietary driver was awesome and could do multi monitors properly using their proprietary X11 extension called TwinView
Didn’t the Republicans immediately repeal that when they came to power?

Consoles are a shrinking market. If they were offered money by TV manufacturers to cooperate with putting more ads on it, they most certainly will.
And I suspect Microsoft/Windows will too. Apple might not, though.
In the US
FTFY. The long term outcome for this is that the world stops revolving around the US. For better or for worse
Usually, those are the companies that pay you $$$$$
Was there some context from the book that we’re missing?
Honestly, it sounds like amazing way to get started. You don’t need to be a programmer to make that fix.
I recommend joining the kde-devel matrix channel. Someone there will definitely be able to tell you what to do.

If you mean limitations in the client, I discovered that there’s a Jellyfin for Kodi plugin.
Kodi has had decades of development. It’s super customizable, has every feature you can think of, direct plays every video format, and is fast.
Having it act as a Jellyfin client has been amazing and given me the best of both worlds.
