Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I’ve seen. Hack the planet!

That’s why they’re all-in on authoritarianism.

Or better yet, if you’re a government: stop using it yourself and destroy it for being unlawful.

For any machines that are too inefficient to be worth continuing to compute with, you could at least save the power supplies for electronics projects. I’ve got some 12V addressable RGB Christmas lights being powered by an old ATX power supply, for example.

Lack of marketing.

Taking less storage is almost the entire point of a zip file. It only takes more space than the original files in pathological cases (e.g. maybe if you’re trying to compress already-compressed data, like a video file).

Enshittification means something more specific than just making a thing worse. It means making it worse in a way designed to exploit or take advantage of the user by stealing their personal information or something like that.

This is more like “value engineering” and “planned obsolescence.”

It feels like they’re being targeted because of it.

Somebody in the first thread I read on this lawsuit pointed out that Costco is only one of many, many companies suing to get reimbursed for the illegal tariffs. The fact that Costco keeps getting singled out smacks of manipulation.

I can only assume it would be something like !moi_evv if it existed.

Fuck it, write everything in hiragana and katakana.

NUCs (specifically Intel 8th?-gen or later) are pretty much ideal for serving Jellyfin because the Intel integrated graphics can do video transcoding and the software is actually not very demanding otherwise, so the low-power CPUs are fine.

If you were buying hardware specifically for Jellyfin (i.e. didn’t want to cobble together something used), I’d suggest an N100 or N150-based NAS mini-PC like this: https://www.bee-link.com/products/beelink-me-mini-n150

I’m absolutely serious, though: JavaScript should be considered harmful and abolished in its entirety. This is only one reason among many.

(Granted, libraries for other programming languages could have the same issue, in theory; however, programmers of most other languages don’t have a culture of adding dependencies willy-nilly to the same extent JavaScript devs seem to.)

We laugh about AI deleting all the shit, but every day there’s a new npm package ready to exfiltrate all your data, upload it to a server and encrypt your home. How do you protect yourself against that?

Yes, by not using npm either.

Too much risk he might like it, and more importantly, unethical to find somebody to supply the cum. The fundamental issue here is not whether he deserves the humiliation, it’s the collateral damage in inflicting it.

Normally I don’t kink shame, but ew. Twink femboys are one thing, but getting it on with tech bro consciousnesses is where I have to draw the line!

Also, just because something is sentient doesn’t necessarily mean it’s gendered.

If it makes you feel any better, there’s no shortage of Mandarin or Cantonese speakers in the world, so you shouldn’t feel guilty if you don’t want to speak them yourself.

Maybe figure out if any of your ancestors spoke any of these, and learn that instead?

It’s proprietary shit. If it’s being left behind, blame the megacorp that makes it, not Linux devs.
