A lot of low information mouthpieces have trouble understanding data, and it's probably even more difficult with the PPB boot in their mouths. Many of them still say we've defunded the police since they haven't actually bothered to apprise themselves of the city budgets or how they are delineated, ever.

Metallica, Dr Dre, et al were not wrong in suing Napster. We're seeing the fruits of the evolution of that format. I guess at least people aren't downloading "Get Back ft Stevie Wonder - Oasis.wma" anymore, and somebody is making money off of it. Just (mostly) not the artists that make the music.
Low cost, distributed digital distribution is absolutely a thing. Phones have enormous storage anymore, so much so most people could have their entire music collections available on their phones or tablets - not everyone - but most people.
A distributed streaming platform would really be the way to do this and make it cost effective for everybody. An app that could stream from a list of sources (remember playlists? M3U files that could play from multiple Internet locations - yeah, that already exists and has since before 2000) would enable people to stream the music they haven't found yet or are searching for.
Seems like an interesting open source software project, to be honest. Funkwhale is probably a good basis for extension, and could be run by the artists (or provided to then via a simple click to setup platform) for low overhead.
You rip them and provide them to a community that will then re-dub them into something fun. Hilarity ensues.
Seems like a combination of building a proper webring and then setting YaCY loose on it is probably the path forward.
I've been a hardcore Linux gamer for 15+ years, but there's some games that just don't work on Linux, unfortunately. Sim racing was something I wanted to get into so I could get familiarity with some tracks before I actually go drive them, so putting up with windows long enough to launch the games is something I can deal with.
If M$ starts sending me ads mid game, then I might start looking for other solutions.
Thankfully I only have to use Windows to play video games. It would be terrible having to use it everyday for work.
Seems like this could be killer for building a multi-Turing Pi rack mount case.
I'm running the mastodon stack in docker via a compose file. It was straight forward. Follow the instructions to the letter and it will work.
I will say that it is in your best interest to have an automated update process happen, either manually (via cron) multiple times a day or have some kind of orchestration layer that manages updating the component images once they are released. Mastodon has had some nasty 0 day bugs that involved account and server takeover that had to be fixed immediately, and you don't want to lag very far behind in those cases.
Edit:
Docker compose from their repo:

This was a great video. I've done nothing in Godot yet but I watched the video all the way through and I'm super motivated to try it out this week. Perfect timing as I've been wanting to pick it up and start learning how to build games.
That is probably true, however, I personally use it to share with others who are not part of my network, calendar integration, password database access across many devices, rsync backups across *many devices, document editing via Collabora and probably other things I'm not thinking about at the moment. I don't have the performance issues that others note, but I took all of the performance improvement steps noted in the documentation: have bare metal well-resourced db hosts (for multiple services), dedicated redis cache, properly configured php-fpm, etc.
This is like the Oliver Stone science meme kind of fact.
