Current consoles use x86_64 and Vulkan/DirectX don’t they?

The Switch is ARM so not terribly exotic.

Lossy to lossless is fine it’s just a waste of space.

Except most libertarians would not give them a steady income stream: legalise drugs, prostitution and gambling and organised crime does not have much left.

If this holds up in court and becomes precedent it will create a lot of people with nothing left to lose with a lot of grudges against these companies. I can’t say I would have any sympathy if executives became targets for heinous acts of violence stemming from such an injustice.

I wouldn’t even for a million Euros, the French federation thinks the four rules are too good for them and they also write self-contradicting bullshit. I’m willing to bet they’re not the worst.

With nice spectator shoes with leather soles for maximum slippage.

It’s consistent if they depend on copyright law to make money.

Hamburg licence plates say HH.

Don’t worry about it.

The man in the background has a cap with “NEW TOWN”, the poster on the right ends with “our prices”, the leaflets say “Crying towel”. No way this is in Paris, the NYT needs to hire people who can use a scanner and their eyes to say the place is probably in the US and at first glance they don’t know where.

Contraceptives aren’t all sterilisation… (not trying to defend those bastards, but it is the wrong word)

Using a VPN makes it a bit harder for your ISP and the French espionage apparatus to siphon your data as much as anyone not using one (ISPs have to keep a history for up to a year as well, it is a legal requirement to make it easier to spy on people). Of course with the laws in Five Eyes countries it won’t actually protect your privacy 100% if you get your VPN service from there but I don’t think France has the budget or capabilities to keep track of every foreign VPN company even with cooperation from other spy agencies.

PeerTube isn’t too bad if you’re willing to host your own videos as a big creator, and smaller creators can pool resources for smaller instances.

That might explain some insane replies I’ve seen in the past.

That’s what I wrote.

They have DRM, even if easy to go around it, it doesn’t make sense to pay loads for a shitty medium with obstacles to getting what’s on it… it sends the wrong message to the criminal organisations peddling them.

Povidone-iodine.

On me it barely works to use alcohol, I don’t know how they make the stuff for surgeries but it is the right viscosity and concentration of iodine and other stuff to really remove anything alive without using a lot.

I have yet to find something that works as well for cotton with gunky deodorant residue, old t-shirts need a hot wash with a lot of soap and vinegar from time to time, sometimes two washes in a row.

You don’t need to shave, using the antiseptic they cover you in before surgery is enough in my experience, and won’t cause itching and cuts like shaving does.

this is not the 1980s we have reliable protocols for file distribution where integrity checks and load distribution are included

I search for torrents, I usually find anything I want, sometimes it takes a while because the torrents are not very active.
