Not only that, but you'll need to run their proprietary client, otherwise the bitrate and resolution will get crippled and capped at 720p even if you paid to get 4K delivered.
You don't fix anything, they decide whether this is "fixed" or not.
I'm genuinely puzzled why you, of all people, keep shilling so hard about streaming platforms when you're clearly computer literate and you don't need none of this normie abusive and proprietary crap to enjoy content.
"Out of convenience"... Sure, that's why you host a fedi instance rather than being on Twitter, Bluesky or Threads, or whatever, right? /s
Stupid people will literally do anything but avoid being proactive in reclaiming their computing freedom.
Instead of wasting money in a proprietary stick she could've gotten a cheap +10 year old computer, install GNU and torrent stuff, free of charge, for her to keep forever.
> I don't want to go into Molly de Blanc right now, but she doesn't have as much influence on the Debian project as you think.
I hope this is true, but we'll never know for sure, the math tells me that she potentially influenced a good deal of people in it considering the numbers in that vote.
> She has also basically gone radio silent since the stallman smear campaign.
Good riddance, I hope that bitch doesn't try to pull similar stunts against free software enjoyers ever again.
> Also what individual contributors of the Debian project think should not matter when you choose which operating you want to use. I think the official stance is far more important.
Your opinion. Mine's that it's a mix of both, but regardless of that the Stallman drama is just one of the multiple reasons I'm sick and tired of Debian as a whole, and if I use that distribution it's despite the people involved in it, not because of them, something I can't say when it comes to Trisquel or Guix.
> I thought that was a debate in good faith, I think the objections from the Debian on the GNU FDL are valid concerns.
The problem is it makes them look hypocritical given the proprietary software exception they made on 12 that goes against their own guidelines.
> I don't give a shit, I don't understand the systemd hate bandwagon.
The hate is justified for two reasons:
1. The decision was carried out without consideration that some people would not want to be stuck on a single init without being able to choose another one, something that is trivial to do, proven by Devuan.
2. soystemd is just an abysmally dogshit piece of software, massive, complex and poorly understood by everyone, plagued with CVEs every single year, and with a despicable dev lead that is very obviously OSI psyopped.
> Debian did NOT join this bandwagon.
Debian as a project didn't, but a large majority of the lead dev members did push for this debate (with Molly herself, deeply involved with both Debian and GNOME, as one of the original authors) in the hopes it did after they signed individually only to boost the signature numbers and falsely make it look like more people and groups are against him. You can go and check the open letter, Ctrl + F "Debian", and you'll see there's several names that glow. And that's not counting the ones that did sign without stating from what group are they part of, doing some digging reveals even more.

Don't, it's dead in the dirt, go for Trisquel instead of that, if anything, it has minimal installers and it can be used just fine for servers (the FSF hosts all their stuff on Trisquel), It still uses apt as the main package manager and it's free. Or you can try your luck with this: https://gnuinos.org/
Declaring the GNU Free Documentation license proprietary.
soystemd.
Join the bandwagon on defaming Stallman because OSI psyop.
Going proprietary by default since 12 and removing the choice to get ISO installers that are free for no reason other than blatant OSI psyop shenanigans.
In that order, iirc.
> I still think all the dumb shit Debian has done pales in comparison to all the dumb shit most other distros have done.
The difference being that distros that are shit have always been shit, but Debian went downhill ever since Ian killed himself, it's progressively getting worse and it's not getting any better.
Debian is a clear example of why "open source" is nonfree in spirit rather than letter.
Hey 7666 this reminded me of something I wanted to ask you.
I asked Moon if he had a CSAM hash database and he said these shitbags refuse to distribute them publicly for some strange reason no one understands (we can all do the math).
Now's your turn, you have one of these by any chance?
> The letters say quite specifically "executable", not "object code that doesn't execute".
What if it executes but does nothing more than return 1 and stops because the server rejects connection? And the server is completely proprietary, mind you, you can't host your own.
