Characters like him are targeted because they are both successful and anti establishment

Not silly at all. It’s a ship of Theseus situation, and the ship has helmsmen with bad attitudes. Bad attitudes engender bad decisionmaking.
2035 2028: Browser content is piped to a local AI that filters junk and noise then feeds the result back into the browser for screen display
I don’t understand when these companies are going to learn that sharing their IP is going to get them more money than being so fractured.
The risk equation makes sense. The potential gain from outlasting your competition and absorbing their subscriber bases to become a near-monopoly is higher than participating in a royalty scheme, and the downside is borne by shareholders and to a lesser extent creditors (the Other People’s Money principle).
All problems are user’s own. Yes enshittification sucks. You’re free to disconnect as much as you can.
Wrong attitude. Only atomization and further exploitation lies that way. The solution is to get vocal and demand higher standards.
Always cut out the intermediaries.
(I’m glad this story was published. We may roll our eyes, but it’s a contribution toward raising normie’s consciousness, which is welcome.)
Users: Do you realize what Windows is subjecting us to? MS board of directors: Windows? We don’t even use PCs
Rating schemes inevitably become subject to gaming and P2W.
Service providers need to be honest about their stack and its implementation, and people need to git gud.

Context is king. If there’s vital/time-dependent correspondence you’re waiting on, notifications can matter. But email in 2024 is pretty darn transactional, in which case a daily check is enough for most. Notifications for something suggest that I need to drop what I’m doing and attend to whatever arrived. That just doesn’t apply for service provider marketing, purchase receipts, etc.
And then the opsec angle comes into play: https://www.axios.com/2023/12/06/apple-google-requests-push-notification-data
Notifications are overrated. I turn them off for the bulk of apps.
Devote one or two small time windows each day for life admin. Outside those windows it shouldn’t be seen or heard.
When is the company axing search?
In Italy’s case, it will be its long track record of poor governance combined with the close intertwining of media interests and political parties. Live sport is just about all these subscription broadcasters have left, so a vicious defense is to be expected.
When the remux is 30gb and the 1080 encode is 23gb ✈️🏢🏢
Then said tools were made a lot simpler with a lot less control over them
Which needs to be reversed if we’re to remain free in Western democracies. Access to and control of computing - general purpose computing in particular - is practically a civil liberty now. I look at legislators in my own country, and I’d wager 50% of them don’t understand this, 40% kind of grasp the problems but are apathetic, and 10% are on the enemies’ payrolls.

My question is: what’s the point of sharing folders in a p2p program and denying access to these folders?
I’ve asked many of them, including one who wanted not only a vinyl for a vinyl but one with an equivalent number of tracks. They never answer me, because they never arrived at their absurd position using reason to begin with. They fundamentally misunderstand p2p filesharing, in that they believe it’s a zero-sum game.
Your best attack: polite annoyance. Ping them when you see them. Hi x. I want to download from you. My files are available - Soulseek is for sharing. Please give me access, even if it’s temporary/capped transfer. It would be great to see more people use private chat to wear them down and call out poor behavior. Even if they block you, that’s still a bit of overhead they’re having to contend with.
Your best defense: modeling the behavior you want to see. Traders are still very much a minority. Keep online over the long term, keep your shares available, and they’ll stay that way.
Yo OP, this isn’t piracy related
I haven’t been able to make an encode (SVT-AV1) from source that doesn’t obliterate the grain and texture. The output is watchable but everything looks plastic. There is a parameter for grain but I found it fairly crude.
Is it really misuse if the mechanism was designed to be misused?
