Oppressed cultures often produce the best work. This might be amazing opportunity for Hollywood.

TPB and its mirrors still work fine. Then there is Stremio, a media player with support for plugins and once you acquire the the torrenting kind you got yourself a netflix. Streaming torrents is cool.

Aren't all of the super rich ideologues? Ellisons father Larry for sure is. So is Ruppert Murdoch. The only interesting thing about David Ellison is that his politics are different (slightly to the center) from his father. That's

It doesn't actually matter that much what the icon is. It's impossible to creat icons people would fully understand - otherwise you wouldn't need a label at all. The function of the icon is to have distinct shape so you are a

No. Thats the point. There nothing groundbreaking except their branding and lobby. Every other enterprise sofware company has data analytics platforms similar to Palantir - including the big microsoft / google. Palantir might even be b

The catch with immutable linux is that it can be hard or undesirable to install some core parts like window managers or docker. So much better approach is to get most of what you prefer by picking right distro. On the other hand ublue makes

I would think of my self as atleast computer literate and i very much prefer atomic linux to traditional distros, arch or nixos. If you are in luck with hardware - you get system that is hard to polute with my actions and everything develop

First Android would have to be free software and not project controlled by Google. We need independent mobile phone operating system.

Is Calatrava worse? I always thought he came from understanding physics/engineering and their process exploits that. Gehry is somebody whos work someone else has to figure out how to build.
313.
by omnimus 11mo ago
Not surprising to hear. I mean Gehry has always been more flair than quality. His studio has probably weakest execution from all of the star architects. But it's a great brand i guess thats why you hire Gehry.

But Stranger Things also feels kinda cheap. I am not sure what is it but there is just this "movie feel" that HBO production often achieve (Apple TV does this too) but with netflix it just isn't there. Not sure why.

Ripley is HBO material but its miniseries that was probably bought as it is.

by omnimus 11mo ago
If your metric is only detective stories… i guess? But if you actually compare the quality of anything recent notable from HBO it's not even close. HBO cinematography, production quality, editing, script… its all levels above Netflix.

The problem is soon you will not even know which fonts are owned by Monotype/HGGC. For example they bought Colophon and Sharp type two famous independent foundries. When buying their fonts it still seems like they are independent.

Sorry. Its name for a company that designs/distributes typefaces. It is a relic from past to call it this. In the past those companies were not only designing the typefaces but also manufacturing the physical matricies that were cast f

They indeed can but licensing on fonts from most companies is perpetual. Especially from the independent traditional ones. So its possible they might be bought in future but the new owner can't change license retroactively. Also there

It's not about the shilling. It's about death of quality. As society we are self-destructing our culture using trash AI copies. It doesn't matter if it's fonts, code, movies or illustrations. Look at that service - the f

It's Palo Alto equity firm HGGC so you are totally right it's Oracle playbook not a mistake.

by omnimus 11mo ago
It's not Monotype but HGGC, private equity firm from Palo Alto that has bought Monotype and every other type foundry they can get their hands on. They likely have strategy to completely corner the market and then turn things up. But as

I would say it became much easier in recent years. docker-compose became defacto server "app install", any linux supports it. That includes GUI options like Truenas/Unraid and very nice admins like Dockge exist. The company b

Lots of assumptions that could be totally wrong. Custom distros are not new operating system - majority of hw support is because linux supports it. It would probably be more work for Valve to support only their hw instead of keeping what li

There is difference in the desktop part. SteamOS has KDE as gui and Bazzite you can pick Gnome. Another major thing is that Bazzite is better prepared for desktop use - it has many ways how to instal packages and dev tools. I run bazzite an

Afaik Valve is hiring/sponsoring people that were already making the projects. So much of the work is outsourced to codeweavers and KDE.

Unis are more suited to do this than most corporations. For example at school i am at 1. They already self host many apps in production. Including their own complex homegrown app that manages the school. All of the students have 30 gigs of

But they just don't happen to be doing the same thing. People claiming otherwise have to first prove that we are comparing the same thing. This whole strand of “inteligence is just a compression” may be possible but it's just as l
