I think the vast majority of people are more interested in talking to people they know in real life.

5 Mbps is slow enough that it should be considered a free tier, like, basic service for being alive tier.

Genuine question, since the code itself doesn’t infringe on IP (I think) wouldn’t the user executing the code be responsible for accepting the tos, not the repo.

The repo is just static non-compiled text files, it afaik isn’t actually communicating with their servers and therefore wouldn’t be able to accept any tos (implied or otherwise) (I don’t know if there are any actions, ci/cd pipelines, or deployments that would be in violation though)

Well, the total user base here is in the tens of thousands, even assuming there was even 100% agreement on that, that still amounts to less Netflix subscribers cancelling than they have in a single small town in the us.

I think people here (and reddit and other social media) forget that most people just kind of do their thing and don’t make posts online about this stuff.

A smartphone is just a gateway to a VM with unlimited storage and processing power.

This video does a great job explaining how it works.

It has to do with system calls for stopping the disc that multi disc games would use.

Edit: I’m a dummy and didn’t realize this video was posted in the op.

I code one feature for my job in a sprint and it becomes a value generator for a decade, making the companies hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

Software developers create value out of thin air for companies, value that management and leadership is unable to generate.

Yes that doesn’t mean that opensubtitles can’t take their new found savings and use it to weed out poor quality submissions.

Wikipedia editors do it for free and yet they still maintain a high standard of quality.

They often do not include many languages, sure if you want English subtitles it’s likely they will be there. But good luck getting subtitles for movies and shows that didn’t have an official in the given country.

Do they include subtitles for every language?

So frustrating when a subtitle ad pops up spoiling that a movie is ending.

Something dramatic happening on screen and then “you can advertise on opensubtitles” appears on the bottom letting you know that there is 10 seconds left and spoiling any tension or drama in the scene.

I can download ten subtitles just trying to find one good one for a single TV show episode

Imo if they want to be so strict with downloading subtitles, they should raise the quality standards for the subtitles that are submitted.

I paid for a seed box for one month, around $25 and built enough ratio from that month to last me years.

It’s a learning tool, it also has gpio pins and a long lasting battery.

Speakers are microphones, they are the same thing(basically), one uses current to move a diaphragm to create pressure and the other uses pressure to move the diaphragm to create a current.

The Nintendo DS being the second highest selling console ever begs to differ

My uneducated guess would be that, overall internet speeds have increased enough that streaming is feasible for most people and that there is a lot of healthy competition in music streaming, where almost all of the major competitors have nearly identical libraries, so you don’t need to pay 10 different subscriptions for music.

Additionally, there exists services like tidal which offer lossless streaming so even the hardcore people can get all (most) of their music legitimately.

Basically the music industry did the opposite of the movie/tv industry and generally figured out streaming a long time ago.

Genuine question here, where are people buying phones that have all of this crap installed on them?

I have only ever bought unlocked phones directly from the manufacturer (pixel, nexus) or from a retailer like best buy and I have never had any carrier crap like this and I started with the nexus one.

I just get the phone and either transfered the physical sim or transferred the sim digitally, at no point has a carrier ever had the ability or permission to install apps on my phone.

I guess maybe because I never saw the point in buying carrier locked phones and always viewed that as a weird arbitrary lockdown(like buying a car that you can only drive on certain highways), I just avoided this? Is that where the bloat ware comes in?
