Unless there’s a way to secure public funding for them, this seems like a reasonable middle road.
Like a Patreon, which while having its own unique set of problems, enables a paid content distribution ecosystem for independent creators unlike anything else available.
So, absent inserting invasive advertising, and lacking public funds, I can’t see how else they’re supposed to maintain infrastructure and development costs.
Not everyone has a safety deposit box, or the ability to access a proper and secure off-site storage.
And if you’re just keeping those in your house, then fire, flood, and other incidents can destroy all copies at once.
Nah, I’m with you, except I use BitWarden.
There are somethings either worth paying someone else to host, or where you trust a 3rd party more than you’re own setup. I realize other users may feel different, but ultimately it’s a judgement call
BW has been a pretty great opensource company, and it’s worth my $10/yr for premium.
Okay … All of that could be true, and then some, and it still wouldn’t give the DMCA any legal jurisdiction in Germany, or Mexico, or anywhere else that isn’t America…
Is this thread about some moral invective? Or is it about the DMCA?
I’m sorry, is this about Independence Day? Or the DMCA?
DMCA is an American law with American jurisdiction.
TBF I’ve never configured an Arch system from scratch, so maybe it’s me that’s missing out.
The thing about Fedora that got me to stop switching, was that it just felt more adult then the various and fashionable Ubuntu based distros, or any other well regarded distro I used over the years. The right mix of stability and new features/support, pretty much out of the box.
Also, after tweaking Gnome a little bit for a more Windows 10 dock/bar style launcher/menu, it’s been perfect for me. Think I’ve been rolling with it since 38 now.
Anyways, best of luck with your new box.

Just so we’re clear, your position is that Biden is at fault, but if he wasn’t supporting this genocide, it would actually be worse?
It’s late, and I’m watching the fights, so I don’t have my full attention to spare, but I had enough available to read your comment and see that that you’re being earnest in your argument, and your analysis is not disingenuous.
That’s important to me, because while it’s really bad, it also means that you’re probably not a bad person.
For starters, it’s all counterfactuals, and while that alone means it’s a just barrel of formal and informal fallacies, it’s also based on deeply flawed, or just grossly uneducated, misunderstandings of a wide range of fields, ranging from international relations, to military procurement and sustainment.
I’m not trying to be mean, and to be fair, I have an academic background in multiple fields related to these subjects, so I’m not pulling my criticism out of my ass.
But another fight is about to start, so my text to speech comment must end.
No… what are you talking about?
You said the escalatory actions were the Abraham accords, and moving the embassy to Jerusalem.
I just pointed those were both actions taken by the Trump administration.
So what requires a historical account? Do you mean you just want to site random historical events with no context, and if anyone points out when they happened, that’s somehow a bad faith argument, or an unfair standard to apply…?
Oh my God… Did you really just read those “trigger events” in some article, have no idea what they actually were, or when they happened, but still decided to cite them in support of your argument…?

Do you not understand that you cited only two events, and both of them occurred during the Trump administration…?
I’m actually at a loss for words, because if you don’t grasp how your comment is explicitly stating Trump is to blame, I don’t know what else to tell you.
No, you just did whataboutism.
Which is why I separated my other commentary, and addressed it in general, and not directly at you.
Because while it’s related to your comment, you hadn’t crossed that bridge yet, but there’s no shortage of that in these comments, read up and down.
Israel knows their client state, including the IDF and political leadership. Do you even read Israeli newspapers regularly?
I’m well aware of AIPAC, and the extent of their lobbying and influence operations.
None of that has anything to do with what I’ve been talking about.

Do whatever works best for you.
I will say that after years and years of regularly switching workstation and laptop distros for a variety of reasons, after finally giving Fedora a shake, I’m done. I’ve installed it on both my primary laptop and desktops and can’t imagine switching again.
But I am still sticking with Debian as my primary server base.

Maybe you are under informed. The Abraham Accords and the moving of the US embassy were escalations in this conflict.
It’s like three or four comments up, did you even look?
Or does your extensive knowledge of Middle Eastern history not extend back that far?
In case you’re still confused, both of those actions were taken by the Trump administration, and it was the sole content of that comment.
…what? You just said Abraham accords are the reason for this conflict… That’s the same as saying Trump is to blame…
And just because I’m rightfully assigning blame to Biden, the current sitting US president and self-proclaimed biggest support of Israel, doesn’t mean I support Trump.
Feel free to creep on all of my comment history, my political leanings should be pretty self-evident.
Don’t you feel gross telling people that if they say Biden’s policies have allowed the situation to get out of control, it means they support Trump?
I mean, you do understand that ultimately Israel is our client state and entirely dependent upon our aid for their survival, right?
They literally could not be prosecuting this war if we stopped shipping them weapons, and they would never have attacked Iran if we didn’t have our CSG and accompanying missile destroyers sitting in between them.
Oh, just FYI I don’t game, so if there are some HDR features for gaming you’re hoping for, I can’t speak to that.
