Good on ya, and this sounds like a “por que no los dos” moment.

You know, I wonder if unironically less people will move to the UK because of their internet restrictions

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

From experience, it’s because assholes will sometimes swipe ya down the aisle if you stick out. You have to pull in as much as you can.

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.

Yes

Mint, because Ubuntu Cinnamon sucks

Dang, I guess the counselor who printed this had no idea. I’m no longer at that jobsite, but I’ll let the next person know if I see this again.

This is from a high school counselor’s office, maybe thats a factor

PSA - Lego Star Wars: The complete saga is on Steam and regularly goes for 5 bucks or less during sales.

Also it has a great rating on ProtonDB!

Skyrim giving it a run for its money?

“Making the mother of all slideshows, Jack! Can’t fret over every citation!”

AI slop? Text looks very non-uniform, link’s name is misspelled, and the camera foreground/background focus doesn’t make sense.

If frien, why enemy shaped?
