Matrix Element X app is so good I see a bunch of infinity loading circles in a bunch of places 🙃🫠

@feld yeah, it's hard, people have no idea how much money it's need to keep a team of people working full time in such a thing. I always laugh when I read they say "I'll just use fork X" as if that's not just a reskin and some changes to some settings with no real developers working full time on a browser.

Haven't seen yet how AI overlords would have solved the #crowdstrike issue.

:blobpeek:

@RuiSeabra checkboxes in some security compliance bullshit. And mostly everyone is dumb anyway.

@lanodan @Polychrome @Paradox they go to the insane stupidity of getting non sequential seasons of some animes 🙃

Piracy never fails and everything is there complete.

It really is a service issue and will always be.

@RuiSeabra estas notícias fazem a população toda que é pobre de espírito acreditar nestas merdas que são ditas.

Depois somos malucos de na vida real falar mal disto. É propaganda e brainwashing que aí anda a ser feita e pouco se pode fazer contra.

@RuiSeabra I see history repeating itself and right wing fascism in a scary rise.

People have already forgotten the lessons about it and we are bound to make it happen again.

Democracy that allows the extremes to scream and rise is not something good. Those will always rise in those conditions.

😞

@RuiSeabra let's call it interesting instead of super sad and depressing 😮💨

Quicktime and RealMedia players.

Those were the times.

That's this week's powerful toot.

Thanks.

@Gargron where's the AI to save us when we need it to? 🫣

All the anime piracy seems well preserved too. At least they look good. I bet if I still had a thing to read them they would fail a lot.

I'm glad that 90% of the many cds and dvds that I've burned almost 20 years ago seem to be without dark spots and seem well preserved enough. Likely they will still work. Anyone needs a roller coaster tycoon 2 copy or a windows 98 cd? 😃😅

Checking some old storage at old house and found mu #ubuntu cds that came by mail at the time. They still look good and probably work fine 😃

#linux

Kids these days don't know what a portable cd player looks like 😅

@feld you made me remember some painful memories about that 😖.

Subtitles being different by some seconds of other things because the rips were different between scene groups.

Sometimes you were able to sync by playing with the delays at the beginning but after a while it would be totally unsynced by a few seconds again and impossible to sync 🤣.

Nobody is gonna solve useful problems with AI since it's still in the bullshit phase of the tech and techbros are too horny for it yet.

@feld I went exactly through the same experience some years ago. I was a bit of a hoarder of some stuff, tv shows and anime and tired of looking at the disk space always decreasing. Eventually I got tired of managing it and rationalised that everything is online and more and more stuff was streaming and I could always find a site for the things I wanted. I kinda regret it. Many things are very hard to find in quality I like and some are lost. Sites keep going down to 🥲
