  • Exactly! Distributor should not be able to lock you in with exclusive content, this kills the free market of distribution of media

    Like now we have competitors fighting against each other for having the best library, but they don’t compete against each other in the case of technology of distribution

    For example A disney plus exclusive has a monopol distribution way, there is no competition about how to serve the content. Meaning, there is no incentive to improve distribution. Simple capitalism. Capitalism “works” only in favour of the consumer, as long as the government ensures free market everywhere by regulating too big players who are destroying the whole concept.

    If a newcomer can’t enter a market anymore, the market is not free.







  • I understand it like you have to force the user to input a date, but I see no requirement that this date has to be verified by the OS to be correct?

    And if a user enters a date less than 18 years ago, another account with a date more than 18 years ago has to verify that date

    So, what stops a user who is not 18 just enter an older date?

    Each app just uses the date set in OS as verification, which honestly is better than each app having to ask for the date individually…

    Don’t understand me wrong, I don’t like age verification at all, I would prefer a bill that forces the possibility to flag a user as “kid” and allow/deny categories like social media, payments, adult content, ads etc.
    Like an extension of the admin/user setup we already have

    And force websites and apps to respect headers/parameters like “denyCat=adult,social,payments,ads”












  • I see, had similar issues on my endeavourOS install where I switched the drivers after initial installation (i think it was still 550 or 560) with a 980

    But since I freshly installed endeavourOS, using the nvida boot option when i booted from the stick, on my new system containing a RTX 4000 Quadro and of course a newer mainboard, I have not stumbled on a miss behaving of the GPU other than once where it took a bit longer to wale from standby and tty outputing something GPU error for a short time.

    I must confess, I have not a lot time to game, but have now a 1h on cyberpunk and 1h beamNG through proton And weekly a meating using kmeet

    And of course information from my various YouTube channels featuring Linux news content
