Because he's clearly deeply insulted that someone would want to run a system without Polkit.
It's just bizarre how personally he takes it. If you ever talk with Freedesktop devs it becomes clear they really, really do not like it when someone doesn't use their technologies. Most are considerably less angry about it but you can smell the contempt in the way they word things when they find out you're not using Freedesktop tech.

Just 20 years ago, cd/dvd-burners were standard in every desktop PC. You could buy music and movies, and make backups in full high quality. Every year, you hear about another company in the businesses of producing hard media shutting down. Nowadays it turns out if you buy your media on Apple, Amazon, other services, and your account gets terminated for some ToS violation, you don't actually own your media and you're just renting it because it's in the cloud (someone elses servers).

Will the practice of collecting and preserving media last well into the future as the technology to preserve it becomes less and less available and we lose privacy and ownership of our own computers?

Some movies and tv shows have been distributed on blu-ray that wasn't encrypted. I don't think its that uncommon, just have to know what you're getting.
There at least used to be a list, but none of the attempts actually effectively restrict access anymore.

Hollywood should just give up on it. People who aren't going to buy media aren't going to buy media. Give people who are going to pay a better experience than the pirates.

I make vhs of my favorites using blurays as source! I make covers for em too (most of these in pic rel are existing covers) physical media will never die and will always be there for those who can appreciate it. I've made 60+ tapes in the last 2 months.
>>
>>100195539
Overwhelming majority of them are encrypted, just because its ridiculously easy to crack it that doesn't mean DRM isn't still there.
There used be software that ripped iTunes movies to DRM-free just as easily as you'd rip a CSS DVD.

>>10018969
You are technically right but thats still a major downgrade in my opinion, like physical media is basically not available in my country because everyone else gladly streams and it ain't worth the cost to bring it in here just for the few weirdos like me.

Also I'd argue most preservation happens indirectly, just the physical media existing is preservation.
Like I can (and should) rip all the obscure local tapes and discs of my normalfag parents basically all of which are unavailable officially or unofficially online even tho they don't care one bit, didn't buy it back then expecting to watch or sell it way into the future but just because they were forced to get the physical media to access them now they have the chance to live on unlike the TV shows I watched as a kid which have no trace left past some vague memories.
Actually I used to record music from the radio and I still have those files meanwhile the music I used to listen to for the years that I've used Deezer are forever lost with no chance of recovery without the account I forgot.

>>100196393
Going into the future without physical media or more specifically "physical" files stored on end user devices without DRM and usage restrictions be that in whatever form there is just soon going to be a huge gap in history between the last physical/download releases up until the very latest currently officially streaming offers.

Like how much of the PS1 library is unplayable? Probably an extremely low amount, if you wanted to play through the entire library you could probably get extremely close, even if a disc isn't dumped yet it at least has the chance to be in the future.
Meanwhile with newer generations huge portion of the library are already unplayable and it'll only get worse, like you can't get 100% achievements or even anywhere close on the PS3 library, obviously, but did you know unless you were grinding the PS5 from basically the first few months your chance for the complete platinum collection is already busted? I think theres just something really wrong about that.

Dumb idea: (de)serialize game assets (models, levels, etc) as lua scripts. But not just as like tables containing the data, you could like have the lua script procedurally "build" the data through a set of functions that are executed by the asset loader.

I wanted to reimplement benchmark game to get a rough idea of how nim compares to C in terms of speed, but I can't tell how the bitshifting is supposed to work or if there's things like |= in the language, and I'm not smart enough to divine that on my own. Also I was stepping through the makefile to try and see how it's bootstrapped and legitimately cannot figure out how you get a nim compiler to compile your nim compiler.

she wasted her prime on mouthbreathers instead of actually living, it's just sad.
who gives a fuck about lonely old people, they lived their lives and now they'll die somewhere we can't see them as it should be.
don't pretend to care about your grand parents, you just care about inheritance and you can't prove me wrong.
I'd rather die alone knowing I lived my live by my rules instead of following some arbitrary non-sense about family.
there are statistically enough morons to not have to care about having children yourself, they'll make them for you, you just concentred in living your best life.
if you're old and feel lonely you can always do the needful, that's less pension to pay for the rest of the population and one less wasted are we can get use to house actually useful people

is there a point in switching from arch to debian? people say that theyre both the S tier distros but debian has slower package manager with smaller official repo and doesnt have any unofficial one like arch has, also its heavier than arch and dont say anything about stablility because I literally never had any problems with arch that couldnt be solved in a couple of minutes since Ive switched to it like a year ago

I sat on windows 7 for a very long time, you really don't need to switch OS that much.
Just sit on something that works.

Arch is for hipsters, where they have to have the newest of the new.
Debian is for people who are older and just need change less often.

Once AI tools start getting integrated offline, it's going to blur the distros.
If you need or want something new, the AI will simply just make it for you.

I don't see why you would, arch is better in pretty much every way. maybe if you're too lazy for system maintenance then Debian's stability is worth switching for but otherwise there's no reason
