In his blog post, Tan defended the subscription-only licensing model, calling it "the industry standard."

“Industry standard” my ass.

If Adobe hadn’t started the trend by lusting after Blizzard’s subscription model and ultimately emulating it, we’d all be a lot better off.

Not to mention our wallets being eternally thankful.

Uhhh, once the door closes, HOW DO YOU KNOW IF A TRANS PERSON IS IN THERE?

Wouldn’t surprise me if they tried sending people with mirrors on sticks into johns, to save the children of course.

Memmy now opens an off centered (placed out of frame, in the upper right of the screen), tiny, version of any image I open.

I have to pull every image over to the left and down, see it fully.

Help?

Some 330,000 years ago, giant apes the size of elephants roamed the forests of southern China. Their massive teeth—once sold as a "dragon tooth" by a Hong Kong apothecary—gnawed tough leaves and devoured fruit. Then suddenly, while other primates were thriving, these supersized orangutan-like creatures vanished with almost no trace.

Buy the box set, rip it to .mkv, drop in Plex, rinse and repeat.

Oh, wait, this isn’t c/piracy?

Linked, an interactive world map that shows different coastal flooding scenarios, over time. Six years from now, parts of Texas will be migrating inland.

Another pandering to the base waste of time and taxpayer money.

Yet they keep getting elected.

Pai, who chaired the FCC from 2017 to 2021, during the Donald Trump administration and was often derided online mostly for undoing the net neutrality rules, is now a partner at Searchlight Capital Partners, a global investment firm.

”America’s Public Television Stations are honored and delighted to welcome Ajit Pai to the APTS board,” said APTS president and CEO Patrick Butler.

Fox in the henhouse, again.

Wait. Is that Ajit Pai on the right?

This explains the issue succinctly:

Discarded TV film was secretly salvaged from bins and skips by staff and contractors who worked at the BBC between 1967 and 1978, when the corporation had a policy of throwing out old reels.

Of course, now today’s suits just see £££ signs.

There’s enough content for me here, and metric FUCKTONS less toxicity; so there’s jackshit Spez could offer, to get me back.

BTW, I detest the repost bots linking directly back to that cesspool. At least provide archive links, just to fuck with Spez’s engagement numbers.

After update they’re too big, and bold, readable from five feet away.

They also limit the visible posts from 8 or more before, to four or five now.

How do I fix this?

Fuck you bud, our unit was more productive remote and we had the metrics to prove it.

Unfortunately, data doesn’t trump tiny minds who need to manage people in person, or obviate the type of bullshit rumors billionaires and those invested in commercial real estate tend to peddle.

Just jail the fat, mouthy fuck and let him talk to the walls.

Still, a third of the country wants him back in the oval; proving once again, the power of propaganda.

Looking at you, Fox.
