Yeah … good luck with that.
1·4 hours agoSure. Old stock of burnable DVDs are literally a dime a dozen these days. I see whole spindles of them for sale at thrift shops for practically nothing. And each one is 4.7GB.
The person you replied to thinks their shopping list is somehow immune to advertising
Yep. They only buy things on their list, okay.
So which brand of that thing are you going to buy? The one you recognize most and are most familiar with, maybe?
For long-term archival purposes, DVDs are much more affordable per GB.
Setting up even a simplified BD release takes tons of money
You’re triggering my Cyberpunk PTSD…
Making your IP available to purchase somewhere, somehow should be a requirement for maintaining copyright and trademark protection. Use it or lose it.
Can’t claim you’re losing money from lost sales if you’re not even attempting to sell it in the first place!
(Needs to be a bit more thought out than my half-baked plan, though. Because, otherwise, every IP owner who wants to park something without offering it for sale will put it up for sale in some obscure place at an extremely high price, just to technically qualify and preserve their copyright.)
This is why you become a data hoarder and save all the original versions on your own local storage.
I have no idea why anyone left the high seas in the first place.
I’ve noticed lately that my GPU fans turn on and my power usage spikes when I turn my monitor off. Only when I turn my monitor off. Weird GPU driver glitch, or have I gotten infected with a very sneaky crypto miner from one of those pirated games…? It’s sus. Very sus.
Time to dust off ye olde DVD burner…
It’s cute how you think deleting your account will stop them.
Great. So now Facebook can become a literal ghost town.
I wonder how advertisers paying for ads on Facebook feel about paying to advertise to dead people?
Obviously, the only real option is for every human on earth to go back to Africa and leave the rest of the world to the animals.
What about people with mixed ancestry?
(And … watch out there. You’re awfully close to some ‘blood and soil’ shit there. It should be a bit of a red flag there that you just agreed with the fascists about deporting people of African descent.)
the objective numbers and actions show that there are more good people out there than bad
However, you can pretty easily get into situations where the ‘good people’ stand by and do nothing, allowing the bad people to do very bad things.
Going back to the OG example, even at the height of the Nazi regime’s power, only about 30% of Germans were actually Nazis. But when the majority of ‘good people’ don’t stop them, that’s more than enough for them to exert absolute control over a country and commit horrible atrocities.
They want you to think that isn’t the case so you give up.
Well, going by historical examples, that fucking works.
When you want to do GPU processing for AI, crypto, video editing, etc, though, this gets reversed.
Getting Cuda working on Linux with an nvidia card is relatively painless. Just a few well-documented commands, worked on the first try.
I could never get AMD’s equivalent to work on Linux, though, and it led me down a horrible rabbit-hole of trying a dozen different driver versions from a dozen different places, all with their own unique and quirky ways of installing… And it still never did work.

ENOUGH THAT I CAN USE IT AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR PANCAKE SYRUP IN A PINCH IF NECESSARY!!!
Yep, either way, your job is toast.
AI succeeds: AI takes your job.
AI fails: Economy crashes and you lose your job due to the crash.
Posting this from Kubuntu Studio and … it’s not bad, really. Everything works fine. I even have a couple Snap packages installed … on purpose. (Though, generally, I do try to avoid snaps.) The bloat might be relevant in lighter systems (which is why I have a different distro on my shitty old chromebook), but this is a massive workstation PC that could handle 10x the bloat without noticeably slowing down, so who cares?
(The reason I’m using Ubuntu is because after trying several distros, Ubuntu is for some reason the only one where my stupid, insane, 6-monitor multi-GPU setup worked properly, right out of the box. I eventually intend to go to 4 huge monitors instead of 6 smaller ones, which means I’ll be able to drop down to a reasonable, rational choice of using only one GPU instead of two different ones. At that point, maybe I’ll try distro-hopping again. Though, honestly, “exactly like Ubuntu, but without Canonical and without Snaps” would be what I’m looking for. Would definitely prefer to stick with apt package management, since that’s what I’m used to at this point. Maybe I’ll try straight-up Debian? But I don’t really like the way Debian splits its repositories, where you basically have to choose between “extremely outdated” and “bleeding edge” with no “as up to date as possible, while still being well-tested and stable” option in between. For all of Ubuntu’s faults, I think they actually do a pretty good job of maintaining that balance between stability and being up-to-date.)
