technically libreoffice exists, they really need to fix office comparability though

More than 5 years old includes all the major live service titles at this point, back in the day people would be hopping to whatever new COD/Battlefield just came out, which would lock that metric to 2-3 years max. Since Moore's law is long dead at this point the technology just doesn't improve much year over year, and it's hard to sell a new minor iteration on a game without flashy visual upgrades, the old model just doesn't really make sense anymore.

I think this is the most important aspect of Linux accepting more rust contributions. More and more existing maintainers are aging out, and people just don't learn or want to build large applications in C anymore. From what I understand companies doing proprietary kernel development have largely made the rust transition for new code at this point, so fewer and fewer systems level programmers will be used to C (and C++ over time) for these tasks. Existing maintainers pressure against rust development could become a threat to the long term viability of the kernel.

No, because section 230 has been in effect since long before those companies existed. The law removes liability from companies who decide to moderate user content. If it were repealed they'd have to stop moderation or face liability. The Background and Passage Section on Wikipedia outlines the court cases that led to the law's creation.

Blanket removing Section 230 does literally the opposite. Without it platforms are only liable for user generated content if they moderate it. before if a platform moderated content published by users, it would be considered a content publisher, like a newspaper or magazine, and would be liable for user generated content. If they didn't moderate they would be considered a content distributor, like a bookstore, which isn't liable for the content of the material they distribute. So repealing it means any website with user generated content would effectively be required to operate like 4chan or Usenet.

It seems like since my generation had "If you put something on the Internet it'll be there forever" drilled into us as kids, many of us feel entitled to "the internet" preserving our data for us. Most people don't realize how much labor and resource usage goes into preserving data forever.

Idk about Amsterdam, but in a lot of places half of a comparable rent might be his whole mortgage, depending on how long he's owned the property.

What's your setup for self hosting? Do you use a vps or host on your own network?

I feel like I did at one point, but I should probably try again

Yeah I'm not super surprised... It used to work well when I bought it back in '17 but it's become worse and worse with updates.

I'm not a home theater power user, but this is good info to make sure my setup is future proof for when I finally get a new TV. All these different standards get really confusing.

How dies it perform in bright sunlight? One of the nice things about the pebble was the epper display that was always visible
