YSK: you also don't own games on steam, it’s all licenses and they can all be revoked.

That is why i archive ~~pirated~~ DRM-free copies of some games i know i will come back to for Nostalgia in many years.

Thats the thing.

There is basically no alternative. Firefox exists on the mercy of google which is its biggest donor.

There are very few attempts at a truly open source browser and neither can tackle the biggest problem, which is google pushing websites to adopt their standards, weaponizing ad income to guarantee compliance.

Currently more then 80% of internet users have a chromium browser while websites creation for many entities is often outsourced out of lack of own IT knowledge. When firefox dies there will be no economic insensitive to build sites accessible by anything but chromium.

Low key i wish this fires back into anarchy. I hate the corporate web and the only sites i like to see are those free of economic insensitive and all in on an ethical free digital world.

I meant that sentence quite literally, semiconductor is technology. My perspective is that original “moors law” is only a single example of what many people will understand when they hear the term in a modern context.

At some point where debating semantics and those are subjective, local and sometimes cultural. Preferable i avoid spending energy on fighting about such.

Instead il provide my own line of thinking towards a fo me valid reason of the term outside semiconductors. I am open to suggestions if there is better language.

From my own understanding i observe a pattern where technology (mostly digital technology but this could be exposure bias) gets improving at an increasingly fast rate. The mathematical term is exponential.

To me seeing such pattern is vital to understand whats going on. Humans are not designed to extrapolate exponential curves. A good example is AI, which large still sucks today but the history numbers don't lie on the potential.

I have a rather convoluted way of speaking, its very unpractical.

Language,at best, should just get the message across. In an effective manner.

I envoke (reference) moores law to refer to the observation of exponential progress. Usually this gets my point across very effectively (not like such comes up often in my everyday life)

To me, moors law in semiconductors is the first and original example of the pattern. The fact that this interpretation is subjective has never been relevant to getting my point across.

That is one way to make it obvious your not acting in good faith.

You either didn’t bother to read or your reading comprehension is broken.

The real world does not provide it as a realistic choice. You cannot do what i said. If one tried their family would just die with them.

Are you really arguing that your materialistic goods are worth more then the lives of future people? Because that is how your words appear. If so that is repulsive.

Parents have made much tougher sacrifices for their kids all over history, people leaving everything they have behind for a better future is a norm that continues to repeat conflict after conflict. Self-Sacrifice may be rare but to deny its existence is naively hateful.

If we don’t change our ways we wont even have a place to flee towards when climate conflicts arrive at home.

If i could guarantee my kids will have enough food and medical care for the rest of their lives unconditionally, only having to give up on my material belongings i will do so in a heartbeat.

If that means sleeping on straw and not owning any electronic devices but i get to keep living under the same roof with small garden i will still consider that a very cheap price to pay.

There is no point in all this luxury if we suicide our fucking species to create such.

You may be privileged right now, you may have it personally very good but your survival is just as dependent on society at large. If we don’t take action you too will be impacted sooner then you realize. And the more privilege you are used to the harder a time you will have.

Spatial computing is arguably incredibly useful but all depends if people feel comfortable wearing it for extended amounts of time.

The first one was a cool tech demo, i suppose this one will be more an early adopter version but i don’t see the tech being mature enough to have people stop using a laptop.

I knew i recognized that output.

Mine is actually also made with the help of Chatgpt but manually refined and tested.

Another example, which i can personally verify has been working fine for months. It works a bit different to the above, it downloads the latests 2* vids that are not already downloaded and runs once every hour with cron. I also attempted to filter out live vids and shorts.

Channels i am "subscribed" too are stored in a single text file, it also uses the avc1 codec because i found p9 and p10 had issues with the jellyfin client on my tv.

looks like this, i added categories but i don't actually use them in the script besides putting them in a variable, lol. Vid-limit is how many of the latests vids it should look at to download. The original reason i implemented that is so i could selectively download a bulk of latests vids if i wanted to.

Understandable, have a good day.
