What the hell kind of crap is that writing?
Also, I’m surprised this is even this a thing, I thought he’d abandoned the boring company years ago.

They’ve been trying for at least 30 years, probably closer to 50-60 TBH.
One of the concepts they(RIAA/MPAA) were looking into for the entire CD/DVD era was the idea of a time-limited disk that would only work for a short period of time before becoming unreadable.
By the time they got it working, Steam was already a thing and distribution through physical media was on the way out.
Now they control movie theaters through streaming. They stream the movies to the theaters, the theaters rarely get physical or even digital copies anymore. It just gets streamed right to the projector.
The trick is that they’re literally spamming papers at this point.
It has been published, but a staggering number of scientific “papers” coming out of China are turning out to be complete fabrications.
Kbin, literally haven’t seen any spam, seen lots about how the fediverse Admins are taking care of it.
So, thank you mods and admins.
A new protest and shutdown would be to get it into the media eye in a bad light. Not actually do anything of importance to the site.
After all, the 24 hour news cycle lives on scandals.
Sorry, values diversity and inclusion?
Yeah, if you include the slave labour that was literally chained inside their factories in China?
They want to force them to quit. Then they can move the office to Austin and rely on cheap illegal labour.
You can. But it then has to route through their modem+router single piece unit.
E.g. I have my own router which handles everything I need. But I switched ISPs recently to save 70$ per month, and the new company router has parts of its functionality, like turning off the wifi, built into their smartphone app and disabled in the admin panel.
Also the username and password for the unit is, by default, admin/admin. In 2023.
It’s not the techbros leading this, it’s the BBAs and MBAs that wouldn’t know art if Michelangelo came to life and slapped them in the face with the sistine chapel.
I had a Sony Bluetooth MP3 player that accidentally got through a full washer and drier sequence.
And worked out of the wash for another 3 years.
Their software was garbage, but christ some of hardware was Nokia levels of tough.
The Sony minidisc players were decent hardware, but the app that loaded music onto the discs was completely garbage.
It would set the bit rate down to sub 40kbps(so it looked like you had mp3 Cd levels of storage, and would move the original music files it “loaded” deep into %appdata% to try and hide the originals from you.
Yes, but it took until an old white British guy codified in the early 1930s for the living tree doctrine to be a thing.
And it was hard-coded in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms by Pierre Trudeau. It’s the primary reason why the Canadian fight for marriage equality was so open and shut compared to what the US is still going through.
This is why it is bad that this is happening in the US.
You don’t have the concept of the living tree doctrine in your body of law, or if you do, it’s not particularly well developed. It’s all about the writers intent down there.
Don’t forget that once the HTML 5 standard was set, they didn’t undermine it like Google and Apple did, and still do; but shut down Silverlight and embraced HTML 5.
That’s great to hear. I am glad you are safe from that at least.
Kia currently has a massive recall for vehicles spontaneously combusting.
A fun comment I heard once from a sales guy (who had a bmw) is that BMW drivers are so angry and upset because they have to deal with BMW’s service department all the time.
Gonna be hilarious when hackers figure out how to hijack where this reports back to. Particularly since Google recently got rid of most of their senior devs you know, the ones who can actually make secure code.
Yeah and it unfortunately succeeded, so I’m surprised it is still around.
