Still more credibility if you cite it rather than copy+paste XD

(And we can laugh at the poster who decided that was a valid source)

In US English classes at any level above middle school, the importance of finding valid sources and providing citations is emphasized, although that’s mainly for essays and the like.

I could imagine it would be possible to adapt that mindset towards social media as well. Provide your sources, so you can prove you understand what you are saying. The foundations are there, they just need to be applied.

Linking to sources, that is a big one. Even something as honest as “I read it off this Wikipedia page [link]” goes a long way in showing that the poster is not pulling an idea out of their ass.

I will always prefer having debates where both sides cite their information, even if there isn’t a satisfying agreement at the end. Plus, faulty sources can be debunked when more eyes are able to scrutinize it.

Quite forward thinking of the Mekanism devs, then.

It’s both amazing and hilarious that our sodium battery production is similar to modded Minecraft logic.

Also, of course, not buying apple and finding alternatives to their platform-bound software

“Sir, we’ve already been breached once!”

“But what about second breach?”

Border control agents and cartel money is one hell of a Wikipedia rabbit hole.

I’m not sure if this would fall under the definition of “skill issue”, but I’ve never had any luck getting Samba to work on even a local network.

This may be the same argument at “immutable” distros, having an environment where the user cannot fuck it up will be the best way to spur adoption rates, and eventually ambitious users will use more granular methods like you described.

I probably will use this.

They got priorities

I haven’t done enough research to say for sure, unfortunately. I know AMD is far better than Nvidia in terms of not being as entrenched in AI development (which by extension, is weaponized for generating target information), and they’re also better in terms of not being as proprietary (hiding everything behind closed doors), although that’s not directly related.

So currently? I think they’re morally better than Nvidia, yeah. But it’s not a high bar to clear, and as their market share progresses, they may fall to the same practices that Nvidia was encouraged to embrace.

The big 3 (AMD, Intel, Nvidia) in the graphics space already have a presence in the country due to manufacturing and design capabilities.

It’s a similar case with certain weapons manufacturing as well.

The most evil companies tend to send the most reliable and substantial paychecks, unfortunately.

A .zip archive :) or for that matter, a YouTube Playlist that you can just use YTDL to copy for yourself

I guess a big factor would be constant access to the internet on your mobile devices. I usually travel through internet “dead zones” (no cell coverage, wifi, or just in a building that doubles as a Faraday cage), so I find having offline music a lifeline for staving off boredom. That could be why it appeals to me more - plus the whole “they can’t take it away” side.

“Hi there, would you like to sign the petition?”

I never really had much interest in music streaming services, given the wealth of storage on modern devices, and the ease of ripping audio from almost any source in existence.

Do we need a constant internet connection to listen to music? Is it that hard to use VLC, and just buy/download what you want, and rip what you can’t?

I wonder if those using the tool are prepared for “Unforeseen Consequences”…

Eh, who am I kidding. Of course they’re not.

He’s arguing that comparing raw performance is moot in his comment, since having affordable/available supply that can undercut NVIDIA in the same role would be quite a blow to their market dominance (especially outside the US).
