The used car market is being strongly manipulated by the banks. Their inventory of repossessions has skyrocketed over the past few years, but they are limiting how many are going to auction so not to destroy the market and their margins. I’ve heard rumblings that with the push for EVs and their costs, carmakers are going to make them a service. You pay a monthly fee to use them and every few years you will get a new one. You will never own one outright. Who knows if this is true or not.

I prefer Firefox and AdNauseum. I like seeing how the false ad clicks add up over time.

I have always believed that the majority of the world’s problems stem from almost all of the world’s countries rely on a private bank to print and regulate their money. Those banks aren’t capitalistic, but I bet the people behind them are the richest in the world.

Mullvad from the AUR, it’s great.

The doom and gloom has been happening since the early 70’s yet here we are when we should have been frozen, burnt to a crisp, frozen, dehydrated to death, seen New York City underwater, burnt to a crisp again and then frozen. The headlines could be made by a Magic 8 Ball. Its not science when the data is hidden by the words “Proprietary”

If they are selling ad time, they are selling influence.

Citing rule #1, rule #2, and lack of rule #3 for your source.

The amount of work is on the server side, but they are forks of the same code. The sharing side is not as complex. Plex has hit an impass on remaining solvent as a business. Emby is even in a better situation than Plex is and quite frankly, I don’t see a reason to use them when Jellyfin is an option.

Yes, while we are all preoccupied with “us vs them” they can do what they want. It’s been pretty even throughout the past decades of congress & president, but here we are blaming each other laying cover for them to work together and pass legislation for the highest bidder without any “news coverage” at all.

I use Jellyfin - music, shows, movies… it’s open-source and has a lot of features Plex doesn’t including, not having to create an account. It’s your’s to do what you want.

I don’t know anyone that would disagree with any of these things. The main problem is the amount of money the war machine is fed and the fallout of the promises made vs promises kept. Politicians are telling people what they want to hear while doing what they want. This is either side - and if you believe in sides then they have already won.

idk, seems pretty thin. Will I ever eat at an In-N-Out… probably not, but not because of a boycott. I’ve got other things to focus my energy on, besides, if it’s a real health concern, I would think OSHA would step in.

I really wish Steam would put their foot down and stop these launchers. They are nothing but a nuisance and add no value for the customer.

EDIT: Just to be clear, when EA Play joined Gamepass there wasn’t a separate launcher when you went to play an EA game on the Xbox. Steam could make this work with them and the other companies. They have enough pull to make this work - it would be greatly welcomed.

I’d try Debian or if you’re feeling adventurous, EndeavourOS.

Going to live the life of the Facebook Phone…

I like GNOME better with extensions. My main reason for using it is Wayland.

At this point, the only way I see a game being native is with it being an AppImage or equivalent. The resources to keep up a Windows flavor along a native port would be wasteful. The only thing I would like to see is companies stop using launchers and kernel based anti-cheat systems.
