The problem probably was that Coke isn’t in the soda creating business. People already drink a ridiculous amount of sodas. Coke is in the soda cheapening business, the only thing left for them to do is cut corners until making soda costs nothing. New sodas are just an opportunity for them to redefine cheap to a new low. This is why you should buy independent, small scale soda companies. Their entire business model is making something better than Coke.

Most advice I’ve seen says you shouldn’t look for distros on torrent sites, and official torrents tend to disappear after each new release.

How am I supposed to consider his position when that is anon’s profile picture? Is he expecting to be taken seriously?

Funnily enough, that’s how a lot of people will describe their user experience as well.

The same electric systems that just got recalled?

Actually getting a good ending to the ASOIAF after GRRM dies is gonna be one of the big turning points that transforms everyone’s opinion on AI.

It’s gonna be like fan edits for movies. People will debate which is the better version of the story. The only person hurt by this is George, who will be dead and was never going to finish the books anyways.

Downloads depend on the server as well as the client. I can say for certain that I’ve never been able to download a 24 bit flac album in less than 30 minutes, usually over an hour.

You’ll also get higher quality files. Spotify can’t play CD quality music. Apple and Tidal make a massive deal about being able to play “high quality audio”, but it’s a lot less impressive when you find out they really just meant CD quality, which had been around for almost 30 years. A real 24 bit flac takes longer to download than to play. Real high quality audio will never be streamed.

If they own shares, then they want the company to succeed. A better question is “why are they allowed to sell those shares until they quit?” And the answer to that question is that everyone with enough power to change this also enjoys the current system.

This but unironically describes Unity’s new pricing model.

Ice cold take. Space programs are almost entirely about increasing domestic production with a strong R&D and training emphasis.

It is nothing more than an internet connected terminal. Once you’re logged in to a server, the firestick is only sending/receiving small chunks of text.

Prior to reading your comment, I considered myself to be a skilled software developer.

This is the right choice. Everything else is pretty much just a different frontend for the same data.

“We’re sorry you found out that sexual misconduct has been a regular occurrence here. We will now take this seriously and ensure you never find out anything like this again. We believe that although sexual assault may happen in the workplace, it is unacceptable for it to be brought to the public’s attention.”

Nice strawman.

Lemming: You should try Lemmy, it’s a way to have reddit style content, but without a company controlling it.

Redditor: Wow cool, Fuck Spez. Where do I join?

Lemming: it doesn’t matter, every domain that participates has the same content, here’s a list of places to choose from.

Smh my head the hot waitress was from Baby Driver, not Drive.

This is why companies like Adobe fight open source at every level and will never support Photoshop on Linux. Freedom is contagious.

But we also won the cold war

HBO has repeated this policy for decades. Shared passwords and piracy drive long term retention. If your company is thinking long term, all that matters is raw content quality, which HBO has always dominated.
