Besides, patent trolling is not completely negative.

The very idea of intellectual property is ludicrous and absurd. The concept of owning ideas is one of the most ridiculous notions that capitalism ever came up with. There are absolutely zero positive benefits to society when it comes to patents. They are the very reason people can’t afford lifesaving medicines and farmers can’t replant their own seeds. Anyone who owns a patent is a leech and should be hanged by the neck until dead.

Pocket change when it comes to Valve

Pocket change when it comes to a Rothschild as well. This isn’t going to discourage them, that family is the dictionary definition of old money.

Welcome to the resistance

Stacy Bradley voted for President Trump because of his border policies, and she likes that he has restored “law and order.”

She only opposes it because the warehouse is next to her business and she doesn’t want people in chains to be within her view. This bitch is still a shitty racist.

why do tankies sound so much like Trump?

Please don’t spread misinformation.

it’s not misinformation, you weird little google fanboy.

Also it’s just on certified devices

which is every single major western brand that operates outside of china, and even some that are for that market specifically. you would know that if you had, I don’t know, actually looked at the list of certified devices on google’s own website.

yeah, that’s a whole lot of corporate speak that says absolutely nothing. they wrote two whole paragraphs that promise nothing and don’t back down on their verification plans. and you fell for it, too.

you have no idea what that “advanced flow” means, or what it entails, or even if it will actually be there to begin with, or how long it will be there until they discontinue it.

that’s not backing down at all. they speak of a possible workflow, but they don’t say you’ll be able to install unverified apps. they still say they’ll require it, in fact.

Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices

that’s just it, they’re targeting custom ROMs with this too. the number of security updates for AOSP is being cut by Google in order to make custom ROMs less secure, so that they can then close down the project while claiming it’s to protect users. make no mistake, the end goal here is make everyone who uses Android have to do so on their terms.

it’s why Linux phones being mainstream is an absolute priority.

conspiracies are plans made in secret. it’s not a secret that tech companies are trying to gouge people for everything they own, that’s just basic capitalism and every corporation is trying to do that. maybe spend less time being a snarky edgelord on fedi and more time actually using that brain millions of years of evolution gave you.

not what’s meant when they say “the factory must grow”, but let them cook

Why are you coming at them for your dumbass take?

It’s moral and just to murder Nazis.

It’s already too late for Korea, they’ve reached the point where their population is going to collapse. It’s very likely that the country will not exist in its current form a hundred years from now.

if you’re expecting a democrat politician to be anything other than a feckless corporate stooge, then I have some oceanfront property in Colorado to sell you.

That’s nice, because LLMs seem to translate things better than the regular tools, especially when it comes to things like idioms.

Jellyfin supports DV as well, so it isn’t a reason after all.

Does anyone have a working setup

Any Jellyfin setup would do, as long as whatever you’re watching it on supports DV.

oh that’s horrible, huh.

You’re right, that was my bad

Just to clarify, somebody suing another party doesn’t automatically mean that party broke any laws.

Yes, that’s literally what I said. Fan art may not be illegal, but it’s not legal either. The point is moot, however. If a corporation with billions or trillions of dollars can sue you with impunity, while even a meager defense can financially ruin you for life, then there is no practical difference between a legal and illegal act. The fact remains that fighting someone like Disney over something like fanart is beyond the ability of nearly everyone on earth.
