Was ist dann Wahlwerbung? Denn die Plakete sagen im wesentlichen genau das … “Wähle X!”.

Typewise is echt scheiße … weil ich kann jetzt nicht mehr ohne tippen ^^

(Also klare Empfehlung.)

Also new people are still motivated to change stuff. They are not yet worn down by bureaucracy.

Where comments are useful most is in explaining why the implementation is as it is. Otherwise smart ass (your future self) will come along, rewrite it just to realize there was indeed a reason for the former implementation.

I think it’s technically still there… hidden behind custom fronts.

Dass es wie geschmiert läuft?

Google had deals that were revealed. For example Spotify was exempt from paying those 30%.

There’s nothing wrong with UDP. At least not that I know of.

One problem is that they need to put a price tag and therefore a timeline on such a project. Due to the complexity and the many unknown unknowns in theses decades worth of accumulated technical debts, no one can properly estimate that. And so these projects never get off and typically die during planning/evaluation when both numbers (cost and time) climb higher and higher the longer people think about it.

IMO a solution would be to do it iteratively with a small team and just finish whenever. Upside: you have people who know the system inside-out at hand all the time should something come up. Downside of course is that you have effectively no meaningful reporting on when this thing is finished.

It only needs to work long enough for the current management to cash in on their savings. Then it’s their successors problem.

I can still throw away my fire tv stick then. At the moment it still does the job I bought it for and I won’t produce unnecessary garbage for something that might happen in the future.

You can btw “simply” opt out from this in the settings (look for “featured content” and disable it).

Yes it should be opt-in, but it’s not that hard to keep the fire tv (stick) being a good device for the price paid.

Was ich damit sagen wollte: bei so jemandem kann man jetzt weder unterstellen, dass er halt keine Fahrpraxis hat noch, dass sein Theoriewissen 60 Jahre zurück liegt. Wenn Oma Frida nach dem Tod ihres Mannes nach 40 Jahren das erste mal wieder am Steuer sitzt, kann man ja vlt. noch mit “die konnte das nicht einschätzen” abtun. (Auch wenn man selbst dann vlt. soviel Verstand verlangen sollte, dass man in dem Fall freiwillig auffrischt oder die Finger vom Auto lässt.) Aber bei einem Profi kann (und sollte, mMn) man schon härter vorgehen. Wenn man schon von einem Profi keinen sachgemäßen Umgang erwarten kann, wie zum Fick sollte man dann jemals von einem “Laien” irgendwas erwarten? Da kann man ja quasi bei jedem normalo Autofahrer Vorsatz einfach weglassen, weil “kann der ja nicht wissen, dass das passiert”.

Dann anders: der Letzten Generation unterstellt man praktisch Terrorismus, wohingegen der LKW Fahrer - also ein Berufskraftfahrer der regelmäßig seinen Führerschein auffrischen muss - angeblich nicht ob der Gefahr seines Gefährtes wissen kann. Schon absurd.

That could help, but if a file is not shared that much (yet) or not many people are online at the moment, a single peer will still share many more parts, likely ending up with having shared significant amounts.

That is essentially how bittorrent works anyway. In Germany people lost in court over this. Also portions of a copyrighted file are a problem. If they can “proof” that they got a relevant portion (more than the typical fair use seconds) you are still on the hook.

Nice idea, but then everytime a video that contains anything licensed by the content mafia is uploaded (even partly), the user in question breaks that license opening themselves up to lawsuits.

In a perfect world where only properly free content is shared that model would work. But that is not how most content shared on YouTube looks like.

I wish there is a github FOSS script that does this for new windows builds.

That will be irrelevant when the control freaks take over. Case in point: anti piracy ads in the good old DVD/BluRay days. Unskippable shit that ironically only punishes people who bought legitimate media.

But why? If you don’t need moving parts, don’t use moving parts. Simplicity is king.
