pivot_root, to memes in Steam Boat Willie belongs to the People!

After ruining copyright law and borrowing from public domain works, Disney finally loses a property to public domain. An incredible start to the new year!

pivot_root, to lemmyshitpost in Have another meme

It’s easier to accept the grim reality we live in when you can make fun of it.

You’re welcome to use whatever init system you want, but Systemd solves a lot of the bullshit problems and limitations that come from init.d init scripts. Systemd also has a lot of its own bullshit and bloat, but it does an excellent job at actually being an init system and service manager if you know how to properly use it.

pivot_root, to piracy in I am pouring one out to this little champ. Stripping HDCP and letting me... archive streaming services from 2016-2023 RIP

It absolutely is, but that’s not relevant for this post.

pivot_root, to memes in Utterly insane

A friendly reminder: SxOS is a mostly ripped off version of the FOSS CFW, Atmosphere.

I don’t care that they sold hardware for a profit, but they can go fuck themselves for TIVOing open source software and pretending it was all their own original work.

pivot_root, (edited ) to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

If he meant exactly what you said, I agree. But, there is an alternate interpretation of what the guy was saying:

You tend to get different kinds of customers with different price ranges. The ones who can afford to spend money generally don’t give a crap about what you’re billing them for, and they just want the work done properly.

The ones who aim to get a “good deal” tend to be less hands-off and more critical about the work done/supplies used and billed for. Frugal customers take extra time and sanity to field questions/suggestions, and sometimes, it’s just not worth dealing with.

If raising his fee filters out the latter category, it’s hard to blame him. I wouldn’t want to deal with penny-pinchers either, and simply being more expensive than the competition is an effective deterrent.

pivot_root, to linux in Intel Core Ultra performance in Linux is 15% higher than in Windows

There was an issue with the BIOS limiting the power available to the processor during benchmarks. It has supposedly been fixed since.

pivot_root, to memes in I will rue the day this inevitably happens.

pivot_root, to asklemmy in Is CCleaner still people's preferred computer cleaning app?

Gentoo, probably. Don’t want your operating system being bloated down by having to be compatible with other people’s devices /s

pivot_root, to memes in Weapons of Gas Production

No, it’s destruction. Just ask my toilet.

pivot_root, (edited ) to lemmyshitpost in The state of the internet in 2023.

Here, I’ll start:

Are you tired of browsing the internet like a plebian? Are you scared of the big bad man in the middle but don’t know enough about HTTPS and certificates to realize that he can’t do anything unless you install this totally-legitimate root certificate? DO YOU WANT YOUR BANK HACKED?!

pivot_root, to asklemmy in Lemmy, recommend me a good budget Android phone please

Unlocked means it’s not tied to a carrier (mobile phone provider).

Not too sure about the rest of the world, but North America has a huge problem with carrier-locked devices. You buy a phone from YourCellProvider, and you’re stuck using the phone only with YourCellProvider.

pivot_root, to upliftingnews in Neighbors call police on boy asking to mow lawns to save for a PS5, officers pitch in to buy him the console

It’s fair to judge someone for willfully enlisting if they were aware of their contribution to this system and wanted to further ingrain it, but dissuading those who want to do it for the right reasons will only skew the demographic towards those that don’t.

An optimistic kid deciding to be a cop when he grows up so he can help people shouldn’t be judged the same as an army reject enlisting because he got kicked out of the military for abusing his authority.

pivot_root, to lemmyshitpost in I knew it all along!

This made me laugh way harder than it should have.
