Pirate Site FMovies Rivals Major Streaming Platforms in U.S. Web Traffic in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

Are you trolling? No enterprise would ever compete with free. They will scream for an onerous legislative solution, which will make all our lives more difficult.

I wish pirate streaming operations a speedy death.

I didn't like Dune Part Two. I felt it was way too rushed, with all the emotion trod into the sand. in c/moviesandtv@lemm.ee

I felt the Geidi Prime stadium scene was an infra-red footage showoff first and foremost. I wondered why so much runtime went toward setting up

spoilerthe na-Baron, only for him to die in the last 10 minutes.
Granted, I haven't read the books. Perhaps it's key to the story later, or illustrates something about the Harkonnens...

After more than a year, Denuvo vanishes from The Callisto Protocol in c/pcgaming@lemmy.ca

This is an interesting response. It makes me wonder whether the real risk of piracy to game publishers isn't so-called 'lost' sales, but having their control of the initial impressions window undermined by genuine critical reception*. Marketing efforts are seriously compromised unless they operate in an information void. Denuvo provides that void.

Stop-and-searches are part of a deliberate strategy of "proactive policing" used by NSW Police. ... The idea is to reduce crime by increasing police interaction with the community.

That's fishing.

I suspect a lot of users with silly warnings in their profile like OP described haven't bothered configuring their Upload/Download preferences. The tools for managing slot numbers and queue scheme (round robin v. FIFO) are all there.

I hear you, but with traction comes the corporate interest.

It's naive to think the model will die. In fact it's merely getting new operators and beneficiaries in the form of Google, Disney, Warner, etc.

The state and commerce will always vie and co-operate for control of the public's media access and consumption patterns, with an eye to market captivity.

So you're telling me the model cannot consistently run at a profit, even through it relies on a massive unpaid labour force.

Safe Graphics Mode after updates [KDE neon] (iusearchlinux.fyi)

I installed ~300 updates via Discover a couple of nights ago. I sensed something had gone amiss when Firefox both crashed and wouldn't resume after I opened a brand new session (ie. no tab reloads). I got the crash report box, then a subsequent crash.

Full reboot. Up comes the login screen. The password field cursor is unresponsive to keyboard input, and isn't blinking. The virtual keyboard button isn't responsive either, despite my having mouse movement. I then reboot, this time via recovery mode, which loads the crappy fallback graphics driver with only 1024*768 resolution available. This persists after package repair attempts and sudo apt autoremove to clear disk space. My AMDGPU drivers don't seem to be functional at all.

var/log/apt/term.log (below) reveals the latest driver versions are 24.x. Presumably these were upgraded during the update, prior to which I was on an earlier working version? That's all I can think of.

What other logs should I consult for troubleshooting? Would driver reversions work? How do I get back to a normal display? Your input is appreciated!

15 years has passed - it's time for a new mattress (iusearchlinux.fyi)
 

Any buying tips? Does it need to be any more complicated than lying on a few at the showroom? Of course I know mattresses aren't lifetime purchases; my main concern is avoiding paying good money for something I'll hate in a few years.

I'm prepared to spend up to US$1500. I want a spring coil mattress. I don't want memory foam. Please lend me your shopping experiences!
