He uses Arch BTW
Also eventually we will (if not already) be able to generate brand new fake people anyway, so they won't even need the extras. Obviously that won't work for the actual main cast, but for background actors it makes sense. Crowds and far away people have already been done in CGI for over a decade now.
Yeah my comment wasn't a knock at the software or devs. I just think libtorrent v2 is not quite ready for widespread use yet. Since OP is talking people migrating to I2P then it needs to be more stable before that can happen. A few years from now I'm sure it will be a great option.
I have been using OpenBoard recently and it feels exactly like GBoard, except I have an issue where using backspace/deleting characters also randomly removes spaces from words I've already typed. So words will start gettingmashedtogetherlikethis. Unfortunately it seems unmaintained so I guess I will just have to move back to GBoard for now.
I more meant along the lines of building an HTPC then putting Android on it, so that wouldn't have ads. But yeah an Apple TV is definitely an easier plug-and-play solution. I am more of a DIY type of person.
I have probably been programming since before you were born but I'm glad I still give off youthful energy. This may surprise you but there was a time where software was released as a finished product and didn't require any cloud infrastructure. I also feel like you've never actually used cracked software because the cracks are usually there to block the online portion like with Adobe products or video games.
I am libertarian. I believe in the maximum amount of personal freedom possible. You have the right charge for something and I have the right to not pay it. And it's not stealing it's copyright infringement. It's making a copy.
I don't believe it is ethical to block other people's happiness behnd a paywall. If you make something that could make the world a better place and then not share it, you are objectively making the world a worse place. How is that morally right?
No what's bullshit is you coming to a place about piracy while not believing in the free exchange of media and information. It is unethical to prevent people from doing so not the other way around.
If those industries die that's great. The only ones left will be the people who actually want to be there rather than the ones who are only after money.
We have a really easy example. I want the social media industry to die so here I am on Lemmy. If Facebook, Reddit, Twitter, and so on die that is a positive. Then the only thing left will be the free and open fediverse run by volunteers.
For one laws don't decide what is ethical or not. But for two you can still make money working on FOSS. There are donations and companies like Valve for instance pay for the development of proton and DXVK. Etc.
Yes. You're literally using Lemmy which is exactly what you just described. FOSS has used this model forever. Is it so hard to believe that people will make things because they want to, not because of money?
I am aware. I have been a Thunderbird user for at least 15 years which is why I am unhappy with their general treatment of it over the years as a second class citizen. But at least it is in a better place now.
