This feels like a tough one for betteridges law of headlines.

Bioware has been replaced a person at a time ship of theseus style with lesser quality staff, the magic has long departed and it’s just another mediocre studio now trading on a name.

These kinds of figures are pointless without knowing the starting number of users, it could be an increase from 10 to like 30 or something… Also, this sudden rush of articles mentioning rednote seems more like an attempt to induce movement to it, but that could just be me being cynical.

Just like pretty much all media ever really. It’s not like many novels, songs, movies and TV shows are world wide hits either.

All a NAS is is a separation of concerns, if you build a system who’s only job is to provide networked storage, then that system is a NAS. If you buy an off the shelf “NAS” and proceed to run a bunch of services on it, that is a home server, not a NAS. Build your own NAS and most of your concerns go away.

A baby doesn’t learn concepts by repeating words over and certainly knows what a mother is before it has any label or language to articulate the concept. The label gets associated with the concept later and is not purely by parroting and indeed excessive parroting normally indicates speech development issues.

I think the point is that it would have still been a fantastic game if it hadn’t sunk a load of money into looking like a movie.

You are talking about the boot loader, but even that is pretty standard. There could be hardware exploits in place, sure, but we are mostly talking about a very low margin product and the volume of data that you’d need to retrieve and process to sift out anything useful would be massive and obvious so in general I think this is mostly conspiracy level thinking. Any shenanigans is going to be done in small targeted batches if it’s done at all to try to infiltrate specific targets and reduce risk of some curious researcher or enthusiast accidentally stumbling across it and ruining it.

You might be right and in any case the new boss is better than the old boss right? Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.

I disagree with the “don’t ask stupid questions” any question you ask might be viewed as stupid by someone who knows the answer. Better to say “don’t ask questions you know are stupid”.

Got to wait until the network effects make it hard to get the momentum to go elsewhere before really turning the enshittification screws. Look at how much it’s taken to dent twitter significantly.

All of us are neandthal too, and decendants of various ancient celebrities as well as all the forgotten commoners.

This only tells you about your very recent ancestry, but go back enough generations are you are descended from everyone alive at the time who still has living decendants, just like everyone else.

When we’re they last sold though, eol 8 years after last up for sale is fine, but if they were still on sale up to last month that is a different issue.

Now all restaurants are taco bell.

Why have content on the web at all if it can’t be viewed by anyone? Even if generated with an intention to generate profit, there is no opportunity to do so if no one is looking at it.

And if everyone blocked ads and couldn’t see sites that insisted on advertising, how would that work out for the websites?

If you are going to worry about archival then when reencode it at all? Just remux the content from the dvd into a suitable container and be done with it.

Rocky now is what Centos used to be, a downstream rebuild of Redhat Enterprise. Cento Stream is now a rolling release and is pretty much RHEL unstable.

I felt the /s was implied but clearly enough people actually believe that linux is only for people who master arcane command lines that it could be taken as a genuine belief.
