Just another reason to buy music from the artists own website, if they have one.
It’ll likely be seen as “lost revenue” and therefore piracy by the holders, as I don’t imagine that they include small individual sites in their surveys, but the artist will get more money in the end and that’s what matters.
That would be very interesting indeed.
I imagine that the drop observed between 2005 and 2020 isn’t because people didn’t listen to music, but likely rather piracy and digital media being harder to properly gauge (musicians selling music on their own websites and such, not having to burn it to CDs first).
This is also supported by various claims and statistics showing a fall in piracy in the late 20’s.
It appears that the Greenlandic coast is filled to the brim with Github users.
Damn, got us good!
That’s… Terrible. Truly the stuff of nightmares!
Aliases are just bloat! You can do just fine without them. Heck, why not remove the ASCII conversion and read everything in hex or binary?
It’s all about SPEED and efficiency here!
Probably the same reason people keep posting the same questions in tech subs over and over and over again.
There are a lot of people who need help/need to tell the world about something great to them, but few people are capable of or care to search previous posts.
Moderators removing duplicates often results in a bad user experience, especially so for new users who haven’t seen that post tens of times, so it’s often allowed to a certain degree.
Beautiful, a marvel of technology!
Yup, virtual machines usually have a really bad drop in performance. “Usually”, because you can reserve a spare graphics card and resources only for use with this one specific machine. But in that case, you might just buy another computer or dual boot (thats what I did while getting used to Linux) instead.
Those “hostile takeovers” and stigmatization of communities appear to happen rather often.
Like “hacker”, where the original hackers have dispersed and sought refuge as “makers” or “DIYs”, after being labelled “dangerous and malicious”.
Or “feminists”, which has become more and more synonymous for “feminazi”.
Or the whole lgbtq+ stuff, which I feel is self-inflicted, but that is likely because I’ve met one of the black sheep that every community has and which allow this exact phenomenon to happen.
But that it happens a lot, does not make it any less annoying.
I’m pretty sure almost no nerds use chatgpt, as chatgpt kinda takes the nerdiness out of the nerd.
Script kiddy might fit better, looking at stackoverflow from the past half year.
