Sure, bandcamp is a very good option to buy albums. But that doesn’t give one the right to pirate.

I’m sure they are on Spotify (which is shitty anyway) and other streaming services by choice. And if you are against streaming services, feel free to buy their albums.

Even if that was ok, I’m sure people who pirate buy a ton of merch from all the artists they pirate, that’s why all those artists get a ton of money.

No, it’s not. Even more so if you like your artists.

I’d be perfectly fine with some sort of subscription. That gets distributed to authors I watch. But I can see technical challenges to it.

A big problem with peertube is monetization. There should be some sort of mechanism that’d do that automatically. Otherwise there won’t be much content ever. Don’t get me wrong, I’m really happy that it exists but just don’t see it replacing even few % of YouTube as it is.

Another vote for Fedora KDE.

And also community profits. But I don’t see it happen because politicians are dumb. In my country (EU) they still use X and Facebook only to communicate on social media. Microsoft is also heavily embedded in all pores.

The only way to fake it would be to use a “public” signature, but then again, I’m sure google will revoke them eventually. I guess rooting won’t be enough, one would have to change some internal binaries. Perhaps it’s time for a ungooglified android OS 🤷‍♂️

Torrent client is just an application, author shouldn’t be responsible - naive thinking I suppose

I’d say a big ton of them :(

I’m on your side and you are correct, besides Google amassing a ton of money (each registration costs $25) they will have total control and we know that Google is far beyond “not evil”.

Sideloading still works, just the apps have to be signed. Still awfull.

Perhaps, but if one is privacy conscious, that’s the way to do it. That is also one of the reasons people like Macs.

Unified memory is very AI friendly which is not irrelevant these days.

Interesting. I have flatpack Chrome and camera works (hence my it should). OTOH I have dnf Firefox and camera doesn’t work because ‘You did not allow the browser to use the web camera. Reload the page and try again.’ I guess (your) Firefox issue might not be related to flatpak. (Fedora 42/KDE)

It should.

I was thinking about Apple’s M CPUs that have fixed length and they benefit out of it. It was explained on Anandtech years ago, here is a brief paragraph on the topic. Sadly Anandtech article(s) isn’t available anymore.

Since this type of chip has a fixed instruction length, it becomes simple to load a large number of instructions and explore opportunities to execute operations in parallel. This is what’s called out-of-order execution, as explained by Anandtech in a highly technical analysis of the M1. Since complex CISC instructions can access memory before completing an operation, executing instructions in parallel becomes more difficult in contrast to the simpler RISC instructions.
