It’d be messed up for the government to do this even if he wasn’t a billionaire though. End corporations in bed with government.

The problem with any media heavy content is storage. Fediverse is diy, mom’s basement servers. Who’s going to pay for all the storage?

Never heard of that for, it looks exactly built for this problem, better than torrent. Good call.

anyway to use torrent protocol somehow? Like popcorn time did?

Based on OPs experience this is the best solution.

If they want to learn, I found plex + plexamp was pretty easy to get going.

As a Lemmy user I’m certainly intrigued with the buzzwords you’ve thrown out, but there doesn’t seem to be an actual system anywhere in there.

Well what’s an ethical alternative? Central planning?

Corruption will exist in every government, regardless of economic system. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely.

2 parity is standard and should still be adequate. Likelihood of two failures within four days on the same array is small.

I was wrong, I could be bothered. None of the alternatives were really great or obviously a better word. Closest I came up with was “quality erosion”, but it doesn’t convey the same feeling of anger and sadness.

I can’t be bothered to look up the correct word, what is it?

I question those studies. It’s way easier to get someone’s attention in office than emailing them 3-4x. Additionally teamwork definitely increases when you work face to face at least sometimes.

Isn’t it the same speed electromagnetic fields propagate through space?

Is this true?

Thank God the government is here to protect us from dangerous people like this man. /s

These anti piracy commercials have gotten really mean.

Shut down their access to computer stores and the power companies while you’re at it. Only fair. No piracy without computers or power.

2 billion social security numbers? What’s the population of the US?

Not surprised. Like chromecast audio, chromecast couldn’t really serve an adequate amount of ads. Basically it’s only value was it forced you to use stock youtube app to stream preventing any adblocking, but if you cast your screen, then it can’t stop adblocks, so it makes sense to discontinue this product. There’s some open source projects out there that might be worth looking into, NymphCast is one I saw, uses a rasberry pi.

The marketplace of ideas is a flawed concept and always has been. Economists with years of specialized training and decades of experience can’t agree on the best course of actions, how is it reasonable to expect Joe the plumber to make an informed choice by watching an hour long debate?
