Two pounds of weed btw. A man’s life because he wanted to get high with friends at a party or something. It’s illegal to import so it’s not unlikely that he wanted to get a bunch and use it over the course of a year. Fucking insane. Also fuck this articles’s loaded language and framing.
You’re really telling me the Eiffel Tower isn’t real? Why would you type those words?
That only applies to new contracts from what I heard, not to existing contracts. Google certainly has a long term contract that wouldn’t be affected by the increased royalties for new H.264 contracts.
I imagine costs have increased (more expensive server components due to ai shortages, more users to stream to, ever-increasing storage for the unthinkable amount of video that gets uploaded to YouTube nonstop). I imagine Google going all in on ai (infinite negative money glitch) costs a lot and they’re trying to cover the costs elsewhere so the investor report doesn’t look so bad and spook stockholders into selling. I’d keep an eye on other Google services to see if their prices also go up over the coming months.
Same. I woke up and saw there was another protest scheduled for today projected to be bigger than the last one. I thought “maybe this time there will be one in my town” and lo and behold. I swung by at the tail end of it to see what was up and it was active to the very end. I talked to the event organizers who said 300 people showed up and most care were honking and giving thumbs up. I ended up following the group to a post-protest location to eat and hangout and all in all I talked for five straight hours. I only expected to swing by for a couple minutes to see if there were more than a dozen people.
What makes you think this? Server costs have gone up, Bitwarden has increased their pricing. It’s a big jump, but it’s also still very very affordable (less than $2/mo). How is this indicative of them changing behavior in the future to start trying to take down legally licensed open source projects like Vaultwarden?
I use Symfonium to play my Jellyfin library, and Jellyfin has a plugin for ListenBrainz integration. So depending on your setup, there already is integration!
It’s a scrobbling service. You send your listening data to it so that you can see your listening habits and share them with other people (your top songs, which countries the artists you listen to are from, etc.). It’s just interesting data that some people like to collect, but if you only throw on your mp3s and don’t care about that, then you probably won’t find much use in setting it up.
Edit: to clarify what “listening data” means here, it just means the metadata of the music you play. Song name, artist, album. Nothing fancy. I think it also supports marking songs as favorites.
I use Koito as a selfhosted version of this. I use the ListenBrainz plugin to send my Jellyfin listening data to Koito, which has a setting to forward that data to ListenBrainz so I can have a backup and contribute to the ListenBrainz project. It’s pretty cool!
To be clear, there are some benefits to provisioning enterprise devices in a tightly controlled cloud environment, but we’ve all seen ideas with “some benefits” get shot down by managers and CEOs who “don’t get why anyone would want that” so I’m not keen on giving Microsoft too much credit.
At least for Enterprise where the real money is, “???” seems to be https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-365/windows-365-enterprise
This isn’t some grand plan 5d chess. The people running these companies are dumb as hell and lucky. They get convinced from one silicon valley thought leader’s blog post that ai and electron are the future and then direct the entire company in that direction thinking they’re a great leader who will be remembered for pushing the company in a novel direction at just the right time. They attend a talk by a different thought leader who talks about a future of ai cloud computers that anyone can access from anywhere with more computational power than could ever fit into the shitty laptop they’re accessing it from, then they go to the board meeting the next day with their bright new idea to do cloud personal desktops.
These companies are entirely responding to (nonsensical) market forces and the whims of high ranking individuals within their ranks. It’s painful and ridiculous.
Can we please replace the congressmen who don’t understand what their job description is?
I always wonder whether people who talk like this are employing ineffective rhetoric or if they genuinely believe Ted Cruz just doesn’t know Congress holds the power of the purse. He understands what his job description is. They all do. You’re the one playing the wrong game. They want authoritarianism, they want to concentrate power, they want to destroy democracy, they want you to suffer, they want people to die. This isn’t hyperbole, they’re just evil. Stop whitewashing what they believe and call them out for the demons they are. Ted Cruz wants the President to have unchecked power. He wants Trump to cut hundreds of billions of dollars from taxes without Congress. He wants it to be easier to do bad things and harder to do good things. We cannot afford to be this fucking smug about the people putting us in camps.
These things have so much fucking sugar in them it’s actually crazy. I had one for the first time ever about a month ago (apple flavor I think) and it was so sweet I don’t think I was able to even finish the thing. It’s insane. I had no clue they were this over-sweetened based on how often I’ve seen the brand and I genuinely don’t know how anyone drinks this stuff.
I mean she’s fully bought out by AIPAC and her messaging is weak at best from everything I’ve seen. I don’t love Talarico with all my heart but I cannot imagine any world in which he’s a worse choice than Crockett.

You’re welcome to present data to that end. Everything I’ve seen indicates that criminalization worsens working conditions for sex workers and raises the risk of violence. The only negative outcome I know of from legalization is that it apparently leads to increased trafficking, but I don’t see that as an impossible challenge to solve that negates all of the positives of legalization.
The Justice Ministry is moving toward revising Japan’s anti-prostitution law to punish the sex buyers, addressing a legal imbalance that has only targeted the sellers for 70 years, according to government sources.
I hope it’s obvious why only punishing the sellers puts them in a very very vulnerable position, so evening the playing field in that regard is probably good. That said, prostitution should be decriminalized, or better yet legally protected.
“I want to sell sex.” “I want to buy sex.” “Isn’t there someone you forgot to ask?” The state shouldn’t be preventing people from having sex in exchange for money; it should be protecting them to minimize exploitation and generally bad outcomes.
That character is called a thorn and is pronounced as a “th” sound. It’s from Old English and fell out of use iirc, but some people like to use it
Never heard of it but this thing looks fully featured and very polished. I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it before since I’ve gone looking for decent launchers!
