  • Really scummy on their part.

    Anyone is free to build it themselves. Someone could even distribute their own build from the same source under a different name completely legally.

    They bank on users being lazy and then pay for the convenience.

  • So what's the crime here? Publishing something Ninty didn't want to get out yet?

    Theoretically any streamer could get sued for copyright infringement by the copyright holders. This is because they own the gameplay, irrespective of whether someone plays it themselves or watches someone else play it. That's why Nintendo sues for copyright infringement. Usually game companies understand streamers correctly as free advertisement (sometimes even paid) and don't sue.

    Edit: I can imagine they look at broadcasting playing their game in a similar way to someone reading a book out loud publicly. Which is also copyright infringement.

    I agree with you on most of your points. And just wanted to clarify this.

  • I really hate how circumventing protection measures on their own device is considered illegal. It's my device, I should be allowed to do what I want.

    Even the term "protection measures" annoys me, as it tries to protect their interests on my device.

    Also, linking to an emulator should not be considered "trafficking circumvention devices". Making circumvention devices illegal is bad enough.

    But the streamer is an idiot too as he was publicly streaming cracked games pre release. Streaming any game can be considered copyright infringement, although it's usually not enforced (it's free advertisement).

  • Regular btrfs scrubs is a good idea to detect data loss/drive failure early. I have a monthly sytemd timer run it automatically.

    Btrfs balance can also free up space but I don't run it regularly.

  • There's "Die Biene Maja 1975" as a 10bit x265 BluRay encode from the well respected p2p group ABJ on the usenet indexer SceneNZBs and the german anime torrent tracker AnimeWorld.

    ABJ makes large releases (74 GB per season), but they are basically indistinguishable from a BluRay remux.

  • Es kam zu einem Wortwechsel, bei dem die Frau auch ein Klappmesser zückte.
    [...]
    Laut der Angeklagten soll der Mann ihren Arm gegriffen haben. [...]
    [Sie soll] versucht haben, sich aus dem Griff zu befreien - und in dieser Bewegung einmal zugestochen haben.

    Ich weiß nicht, inwieweit die Frau die Möglichkeit hatte, sich nach dem 1. und vor dem. 2. Absatz in Sicherheit zu bringen.

    [Die Frau sei] gezielt mit dem Messer auf den Mann zugegangen sei und [habe] zugestochen [...].

    Der Satz oben hört sich für mich so an, als sei sie auf den Mann zugegangen, der sie daraufhin festgehalten hat. Wenn dem so ist, kann ich das Urteil voll nachvollziehen.

    Falls er nach ihrem Ziehen des Messers weiterhin auf sie zugegangen ist, hätte ich ein milderes Urteil besser gefunden (irgendwas mit Notwehr).

  • I fail to see the problem with not being able to seed to 1:1. Most sites provide points for seeding over time which can either be used to increase upload or buy free leech tokens (which allow you to download anyway). It should be more than enough to download what you want once you have a large enough seeding size.

    The BitTorrent protocol prioritizes fast seeds to achieve the best possible transfer speed. It's goal is not for everyone to be seeding to the same ratio.

    Also the best way to help the network is to keep content available. For this purpose the speed of it's seeds is not as important.

  • Jellyfin isn't available for Samsung TVs or Hisense TVs. Yes, this can be solved by any Android TV box but they likely don't want to.

    I've given someone a FireTV stick and they still used the built in OS until I gave it to someone else. (And then they wonder why I can't do anything about ads for them, but that's besides the point.)

  • "given the same source code, build environment and build instructions, any party can recreate bit-by-bit identical copies of all specified artifacts"

    NixOS does not guarantee bit-by-bit identical results. NixOS hashes the inputs and provides a reproducible build environment but this does not necessarily mean the artifacts are identical.

    E.g. if a build somehow includes a timestamp, each build will have a different checksum.

  • Letztendlich spiegelt Nuhr einen (mMn.) Großteil der Bevölkerung wieder. "Es wird schon nicht so schlimm sein" etc.

    Bsp.: Das Ozonloch ist Maßgeblich verschwunden, weil etwas dagegen unternommen wurde. Bei einem "Weiter so" hätten wir es immer noch.

  • [...] what happens when everyone starts using it and torrents are no longer downloaded and properly seeded?

    It's already happening. More and more people stream torrents and don't seed back which kills public torrents. Imo Debrid is not as big of an issue as they don't necessarily tax the P2P network as much as someone only streaming torrents and automatically dumping them directly.

    Additionally downloading torrents after you watched them does not make much sense as you'd tax the network without benefit (unless you seed to say a ratio of 2+).

    If you currently have torrents there's nothing stopping you from continuing to seed them if you don't need the storage. Long term seeders are especially important for keeping torrents alive and you won't need to redownload content you've watched just to seed it.

    As long as you seed to 1.0 ratio (e.g. 1GB up, 1GB down) per torrent you don't hurt the network. More means you compensate for someone not seeding.

    COSMIC Alpha 2 Released

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ndlug.org/post/1167059

    COSMIC’s Alpha 2 release builds upon that work with functionality built out for Files, additional Settings pages, considerable infrastructure work for screen reader support+, and some highly requested window management features. System76 is ecstatic at the level of excitement and collaboration so far with alpha testers and early app & applet developers, and we look forward to seeing what comes from these new additions.

    ...

    The second COSMIC alpha will be released on September 26th. Those participating in Alpha 1 on Pop!_OS can simply update through the COSMIC App Store to transition. This alpha will be followed by monthly alpha releases until all core features have been built out.
