How do SSDs and HDDs compare to optical disks in terms of stability in storage? SSD bits can lose charge over time until a lot of 1s read as 0s, right?

GEMA aeems to be doing a lot of shit I don’t think should be done, like charging for live performances of GEMA-owned music. I also don’t see why there should be an organization with memberships? That’s not at all related.

I’m also not pitching an organization at all, I wouldn’t expect an additional one to be necessary. It’s just conceived as a legal framework change,

When I’m talking about starting companies, I’m talking about several, not competing through the size of they’re libraries, but rather through other things like cost, quality, UI, searchability, recommendations, etc.

I am not talking about a concept for a company, I’m talking about revised ethics to inform revised laws which could perhaps enable what you seem to describe Grooveshark as.

I think the DMCA experiment has gone on long enough and it’s time to try to mitigate the negative results of it through a different approach.

I just wanna pitch something:

What if it was impossible to publish something through a preferred publisher? What if any published piece of music was legal to redistribute with a published fixed global royalty?

As in: You can start a music distribution service and you don’t need to make any deals, you just use what’s out there and pay the fixed fee per user who played the song.

This could perhaps be enforced by there simply being no more legal grounds to stop your service as long as you pay, with fines for secret deals being extremely high and the award for whistleblowing also being very high.

In general I feel like movies, shows and video games could be treated the same. Ending exclusivity has been something I’ve kinda wished to see forever. I think if you reconsider the ethics many of you might conclude that you agree with me.

I swear, Lemmy users act like they are completely in favor of an instance of 40 users and a submission every other week. Seeing scale as inherently bad.

Lemmy will fucking roll over and die within the year.

Honestly, I’d tolerate an adless grey timer, you don’t even have to trick it that time has passed.

Just open in another tab, wait for skip option, skip (but probably not in a perfectly timed robotic way), then pause. Grey and silent midroll would be annoying but still tolerable.

People who know programming and how far it can go seem to sometimes trap themselves in very difficult problems that would be great to solve, but undervalue a version without that complicated luxury.

I’m all for trying to solve it, but a tool that doesn’t is still good. I just don’t want to be aware of what the companies want to make me aware of.

“Morally in the right” says the communist and moral relativist with a penchant for arranged marriages and ridiculously stupid trials of manhood.

Nei! Jeg protesterer!

Ah yes, the best kind of charity work.

Moderating r/funny

No, buy new fossil fuel cars.

Only thing I know about RCS is that it has caused a few of my texts to never be sent, because the “send as normal text if RCS doesn’t work” also didn’t work. Other than that it has done nothing for me.

That’s not where glasses go though smh

Your link seems broken, but for any other readers it seems to refer to “Sleep as Android: Smart Alarm” by Urbandroid / Petr Nalevka

Personally I don’t have a smart watch, and have been looking for an alarm app for my phone that lets me group my set of alarms, disable and enable them all at once, and move them all together X hours and minutes eariler / later.

If there is a pair of holes that goes with with both sets of legs, then there is also likely a head stuck of one of the front legs’ holes.

Hah, fuck off.

Go yell about Pokemon ethics.

You still don’t support regulation.

I do not care to even read the main body of your argument.

Animals will continue to be eaten, and because of your distracting efforts it will continue to be in the most painful and depressing ways. Because you don’t support regulations.

I guess the two categories didn’t cover the whole space of possibilities.

But many cases are clear-cut.
