This feels like a tough one for betteridges law of headlines.

I think it's cute you thought you lived in a country that had free speech.

Bioware has been replaced a person at a time ship of theseus style with lesser quality staff, the magic has long departed and it's just another mediocre studio now trading on a name.

These kinds of figures are pointless without knowing the starting number of users, it could be an increase from 10 to like 30 or something... Also, this sudden rush of articles mentioning rednote seems more like an attempt to induce movement to it, but that could just be me being cynical.

Just like pretty much all media ever really. It's not like many novels, songs, movies and TV shows are world wide hits either.

All a NAS is is a separation of concerns, if you build a system who's only job is to provide networked storage, then that system is a NAS. If you buy an off the shelf "NAS" and proceed to run a bunch of services on it, that is a home server, not a NAS. Build your own NAS and most of your concerns go away.

A baby doesn't learn concepts by repeating words over and certainly knows what a mother is before it has any label or language to articulate the concept. The label gets associated with the concept later and is not purely by parroting and indeed excessive parroting normally indicates speech development issues.

I think the point is that it would have still been a fantastic game if it hadn't sunk a load of money into looking like a movie.

Yes but that is still one company which I doubt is a massive contributor to GDP. However upon reading more about it it seems it's linked to Berlusconi so I'm guessing that its a case of corruption with these laws serving to protect personal profits?

I don't get it, most of the streaming providers they are protecting are foreign companies, if anything piracy is keeping more money in the local economy so why go so hard on IP laws above and beyond any treaty requirements?

You are talking about the boot loader, but even that is pretty standard. There could be hardware exploits in place, sure, but we are mostly talking about a very low margin product and the volume of data that you'd need to retrieve and process to sift out anything useful would be massive and obvious so in general I think this is mostly conspiracy level thinking. Any shenanigans is going to be done in small targeted batches if it's done at all to try to infiltrate specific targets and reduce risk of some curious researcher or enthusiast accidentally stumbling across it and ruining it.

That is a fair point though honestly I don't think the end user should be on the hook at all, it should be the people providing the service as they are the ones effectively running counterfeit streaming services.

Depending how long they had used the service they probably saved more than €150 just by not paying subscriptions to all the services they would need for the same content. Cost of doing business?

You might be right and in any case the new boss is better than the old boss right? Then again maybe this is just the honeymoon period which bluesky soaks up as many users as it can before the enshittification begins to start wringing profit out of the enterprise? Time will te if the hate is justified or just sour grapes.

Converting from one lossless to another is still transcoding as you are changing the encoding format of the data. The conversion being lossy or not is related to the choice of formats, not the process itself.

Hyperbole, any mirror organisms we cook up will be simple and inefficient since they won't be able to make easy use of the abundance of material that is the wrong chirality for their biochemistry. If they escaped they'd starve to death because all the normal life would be scavenging all the food sources much more effectively.

I disagree with the "don't ask stupid questions" any question you ask might be viewed as stupid by someone who knows the answer. Better to say "don't ask questions you know are stupid".

Got to wait until the network effects make it hard to get the momentum to go elsewhere before really turning the enshittification screws. Look at how much it's taken to dent twitter significantly.

All of us are neandthal too, and decendants of various ancient celebrities as well as all the forgotten commoners.

This only tells you about your very recent ancestry, but go back enough generations are you are descended from everyone alive at the time who still has living decendants, just like everyone else.
