I see two three pin 3.5mm stereo plugs (one of them color coded for the headphones and one for the mic), and zero 4-pin combo plugs?

Enforcing DRM has a big downside: it paints a massive target on the DRM implementation, and it will likely end up getting broken.

It absolutely is a thing. Network effect matters. Usability matters. Open source/community solutions usually lack that (and the lack of familiarity makes it worse).

Generally people aren’t maxing out their download bandwidths, so if you have peers and are below your upload limit, the bottleneck is either your computer (e.g. disk, CPU), your network (e.g. WiFi, Internet), or the peering between your ISP and theirs (e.g. Deutsche Telekom).

The baked in garbage is a result of you using shitty sources, possibly because there are few good sources available and thus you find more of the shitty ones.

Usually while the movie is not released digitally, only low quality copies are available. Many sites/groups don’t bother with those because few people want to watch that.

I’d just wait for the release. You’ll instantly find stuff that’s not just clean, but also in a decent quality.

How does a) pissing off your employees b) making sure they talk to each other in person impeding unionization?

For those who don’t know who that is, from Wikipedia:

Michael James Lindell, also known as the My Pillow Guy, is an American businessman, political activist, and conspiracy theorist. He is the founder and CEO of My Pillow, Inc., a pillow, bedding, and slipper manufacturing company.

Lindell is a prominent supporter of, and advisor to, former U.S. President Donald Trump. After Trump’s defeat in the 2020 U.S. presidential election, Lindell played a significant role in supporting and financing Trump’s attempts to overturn the election result; he spread disproven conspiracy theories about widespread electoral fraud in that election. He has also been an active promoter of unproven medical treatments.

Absolutely not. They have way more money than they can sensibly spend, keep begging for more as if they could barely keep the lights on (they could probably easily keep the core mission going with about 10% of the money they’re getting), and then expand their spending to match the donations they collected.

They then created an endowment (i.e. a pile of wealth that generates enough interest to sustain them indefinitely), using both additional donations and some of the money given to Wikimedia (which reduces the apparent amount of money they spend and is not listed as money Wikipedia/Wikimedia has, as it is accounted for separately). The $100M endowment was planned to take 10 years to build, got completed in 2021, five years before schedule. Wikimedia also has a separate cash hoard of almost a quarter billion dollars.

It’s actually all in their article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Foundation#Finances

Without having read the whole thing, so I’m not sure how clear the article is about it: the important part is that donations to Mozilla go to the Mozilla Foundation, which does the political campaigning/social justice etc. stuff, while Firefox development happens in the Mozilla Corporation funded with search engine deals etc.

So again:

Donations to Mozilla do not go towards Firefox development

I’m sure there are worse, and it’s not one company, but the companies that provide malware to dictatorships are pretty bad, and western countries are sheltering them/not doing much about them.

Examples:

• NSO Group (Pegasus)
• HackingTeam
• Gamma/Lench/Vilicius (FinFisher)

Don’t have vulnerable shit and ignore them.

Those are just weather.

I like asking the “why don’t they…” question as a genuine question because it’s a great way to learn a lot in a short time
