That's what class actions are for.
They could easily claim damages, considering they may have made sacrifices over the years against other providers in anticipation of the T-Mo guarantee.
Well, okay, if you're into that, I'd probably recommend the upcoming Mudita Kompakt instead.
No. It does not. It has podcasts. And some of those podcasts have an optional video component.
Adding video doesn't make it not a podcast. Not distributing it as a podcast makes it not a podcast.
Okay, well then, according to your own "respected sources", this is also not a podcast, so go on with yourself.
If a game that once worked on Steamdeck and now no longer works after publisher intervention then refunds need to be issued.
If it's up to me I would leave SteamDeck out of it altogether. If the publisher changes the terms of sale in any way, it should be refundable. But at the very least, if you bought it on SteamDeck and it later stops working on SD, I would agree and would add that as well. But Valve would have a hard time enforcing that against the publisher since, again, it was never advertised as supported by anyone but Valve.
Of course, then we have to have a deeper discussion about things like game-breaking updates, so ultimately Valve needs to serve as not only legislator but as the judge, jury and executioner as well.
It's complicated.
...yes? What about it?
Are you aware Wikipedia has sources?
Then cite the sources, there's no reason to use Wikipedia as an unnecessary middleman.
Cites dictionaries
Once again I'm going to ask you to appeal to a sense of logic and reason instead of authority. These definitions make zero sense.
For example your second source says "downloaded over the internet" and since YouTube doesn't allow you to download videos, YT videos would be omitted from that definition.
I think it's worth noting that you could never post this message on BSky due to arbitrary and fucking stupid character limits.
I'll never join anything with character limits. Like, why?
Okay let's have a rational thought experiment:
On the one hand, BF1 was never advertised as being Linux compatible.
On the other hand, EA has retroactively changed the terms of the sale in such a way that breaks the game, ruins the experience, solves nothing, has extremely questionable security implications, and you who paid for the game did not consent to.
Personally I think they should have to refund games for this and Valve needs to put their foot down and be good stewards for the community.
And I would argue that language "evolution" is fucking stupid if all meaning is stripped from the words, as it has been here. Language "evolves" because lazy people allow it to. The whole purpose of a language is to create a common understanding of communication. If that definition is eroded to the extent that there is no longer a common understanding, that is not evolution, that is devolution.
It also abused by many to intentionally conflate meanings to fit an agenda.
Better late than never?
But it's not called droidcast.
Not sure what your point is? The technology and the name was popularized by Apple, not Google. If Google had done it, they could have just as well called it that and it would make no tangible difference.
And Wikipedia says video podcasts exist so I'm not sure what you're trying to get at.
Are you aware that Wikipedia is also user-editable? I don't care what Wikipedia says, use your brain.
Ask yourself what is a podcast? Why is it not called "radio"? Why is it not called "video"? Are all podcasts audio interviews? Apply some basic sense here. Watch the old videos from when Steve Jobs introduced it and listen to how he described it.
Of course you can.
Linux is great if you're a software developer and don't ever plug any hardware in.
I think the point is, if you're using it exclusively for reading, wouldn't you want something larger?
You never needed an iPod to listen to a podcast.
You're not following my logic because you don't understand it. A podcast is not a "digital audio interview".
The core concept of what makes a podcast a podcast is the method audio files are distributed (RSS).
I guess my point it, why does it matter?
Because you're conflating an open distribution method with a proprietary one.
We both know what it means.
You obviously don't understand what it means.
The language has accomplished its goal of communication.
It didn't actually. If it had, I wouldn't have pulled up my podcast app to find and listen to this episode, only to find that it didn't exist.
I don't really think that's a great word either. If you break down "podcast", pod = iPod, obvi, because that's how they were originally played back. "Cast" (as in "broadcast") suggests the method of distribution across the web (RSS).
You don't need to reinvent a new word for every type of video. They're just called videos. If you wanted to be more specific you could call it a "video interview", as I alluded to above.
I mean they would have to charge enough to make it financially viable. Maybe no one else would buy it but me...
Just wanna say that there's no such thing as a "video podcast". You can have a video. You can have a podcast. You can have both, but you cannot have a "video podcast". I will die on this hill.
Also this guy actually had a podcast but abandoned it late last year. Presumably because they couldn't monetize it properly. This is exactly the kinda bullshit that we're seeing more and more, and why I'm calling this out.
Please don't support channels like this. Please stop calling it a "video podcast". It's just a video interview.
Some notes from "We, Robot"/Discussion thread
I want to open by saying this is the most aspirational presentation I’ve ever seen. Some of this stuff looks insanely futuristic, so in a few short years we’ll be either completely blown away or (more likely) Tesla will further badly damage their reputation for delivering on their promises.
Presentation opens with a very long disclaimer about “forward-looking statements” which is pretty damning. Never seen that before.
54:20 - Elon comes out of a building and we get the first glimpse at the robotaxi/cybercab. It has a very Cybertruck aesthetic but much less polarizing. Satin gray exterior looks like it could be stainless steel but I don’t think it is. Large lights span the entire width front and rear, much like cyber truck, including the abominable rear light that looks like a brake light but totally isn’t and definitely should be illegal. The doors open/close automatically as Elon walks up/in.
55:36 - We get a look at some crazy laser lights going on. They do not look in any way useful, more like a light show, but maybe indicative of some sort of future lighting technology?
56:44 - Elon says “I just arrived in The Robotaxi - The Cybercab”. It doesn’t seem they have decided on a name for the vehicle. Personally I think “robotaxi” may be a type of vehicle and “cybercab” may refer to this specific vehicle. Notably, the license plates on the back say “robotaxi” in the same font as the cyber truck.
Elon says there are 20 more, for a total of 50 vehicles demonstrating full autonomy that day on the closed circuit at Warner Bros.
57:25 - Elon mentions there are no steering wheel or pedals. There are also no mirrors of any kind.
58:17 - a video comes on screen that says “today’s transportation sucks, costs too much, not safe, not sustainable”. Of note, in the first few seconds of this video is a train, reminding everyone that Elon is notoriously and vehemently anti-public transit.
58:45 - “you could fly to, ya know, another city faster than you can get across LA”. This is the first sign of something that later becomes readily apparent, and that is that Elon is just making shit up on stage and hasn’t prepared any statements for this event.
59 - Elon talks about how much money autonomous cars will save you, since you won’t be paying for a car that is sitting around doing nothing for 95% of the day.
He says you can get time back (presumably working for Elon) because you don't have to drive.
1:02:00 - Explains the average cost to operate a bus (not the ticket price) is about $1/mile. Elon “We think probably, over time, the operating costs is probably going to be ~$0.20/mi. And price, including taxes and everything else probably ends up being $0.30-0.40/mi”
A whole lot of "probablys and other qualifiers there...This is the second time where it’s clear Elon has prepared nothing.
“You can buy one. We expect the cost to be below $30k”. Presumably this means $29,990. Notably already more expensive than the $25k they touted previously. Though it can’t be proven this was the “Model 2” Tesla spoke about previously, I think it’s pretty clear that it is.
Elon talks about how you could start a business managing a fleet of robotaxis. This is really strange, in my opinion, as I don’t understand why Tesla wouldn’t just operate the fleets themselves and keep all of the money.
1:03:50 - Unsupervised FSD in TX and CA next year for M3 and MY. Honestly, at this point, Elon has been saying “next year” for 9 years, and if you’re still falling for it, you’re a special kind of sucker.
Cybercab production in “probably, well I can be a little optimistic with timeframes, in 2026. Before 2027, let me put it that way.” Again here it sounds like he’s just making this shit up on stage. This shouldn’t be something you have to think about on stage. It’s something you very carefully consider and then present on stage in a definitive tone.
1:07:04 - Elon says the “AI 5 computer” (presumably this is new nomenclature and this will be the successor to “HW4”) will be “open spec”.
1:08:45 - Elon announces they’re doing “inductive charging” and the robotaxi has no plug. Unclear exactly which models will be equipped with this.
1:09:30 - Talks about the elimination of parking lots.
1:10:00 - The Robovan appears. Elon hilariously mispronounces the name. No one laughs so he explains the joke. Can carry up to 20 people. $0.05-0.10/mi
1:12:10 - humanoid robots appear. Their walking seems impressively stable and humanoid. Some people speculate they are remote-controlled.
1:13:15 - “You should be able to buy an autonomous robot $20-30k long term” again here, $20-30k is an enormous gap and it sounds very much like he’s just making it up. “The biggest product, ever, of any kind”. Elon claims Optimus will usher in “an age of abundance” where “anyone will be able to have any products and services they want”.
My take: this is nothing short of delusional… What will happen is that they’ll further displace human labor and further consolidate wealth into the hands of the 1%. So, pretty much the opposite of what he’s suggesting. That is, assuming these things are ever delivered or functional enough to replace the kind of work currently done by humans.
1:15:50 - There’s a concert where they play Daft Punk’s “Robot Rock” while a bunch of Optimuses dance on stage. Honestly pretty dope.
1:22:15 - They show the Optimus serving drinks. The way it interacts with people at the bar appears very human, and by that I mean this is obviously why people think they’re remote-controlled, shaking it’s head, posing for pictures with a thumb up, waving at people, playing rock, paper, scissors and then reacting to losing. They seem to be carrying conversations. However the motions appear very fluid and humanoid, which is at least mechanically very impressive, and beyond anything I’ve seen from Boston Dynamics (though it doesn’t do any cool flips or anything).
Closing thoughts: This was a very short presentation where they unveiled a whole lot of stuff, but all of it was very sparse on any details whatsoever which, on the one hand, maybe they're beginning to learn from their mistakes. On the other, why even bother? Just release some photos and don't waste your time.
Some have criticized the choice of 2 seats. But honestly, how many people are taking an Uber with 3+ people? It makes a lot of sense to me, especially considering this will likely be one of the most energy-efficient vehicles ever made.
Linux in 5k?
My laptop has been having problems not charging and the top row of the keyboard stopped working. In my pursuit of a replacement I realized how ridiculously cheap Intel iMacs have become.
And then I realized that you can gut them and convert them into an insanely good computer monitor after the internals die.
I was looking for a dead one but somehow managed to get my hands on a working 5k 2017 iMac for $150. God the display is glorious.
For the time being Im just going to use the existing internals since they're still functioning.
I installed Fedora on an external drive and everything seems to be functional. I managed to get fractional scaling functioning. However the output only goes up to 4k. And while thats still really nice, the extra resolution does make an obvious difference when sitting ~1 foot away.
Has anyone been able to get 5k working?
Mudita Kompakt - E-ink (truly) dumbphone with FOSS OS.

How to filter emails from mailing lists?
I get lots of spam from particular mailing services like Constant Contact and Mailchimp. 100% always spam from these services. Is there a way to block messages received through these services? I can see the domains in the header of the email but I don't see an option to block messages based on info in the header.
Help: Cygni/Epic/HGL/SteamDeckOLED/Steam Beta
Cygni is the Epic free game this week. Unfortunately it is not working for me. Installed using HGL. Added to Steam. Set compatibility to GE-Proton-Latest. Running on SD OLED w/ Steam Beta.
When launching, I sometimes get as far as the Konami loading screen but then it crashes.
Tips? Ideas? Anyone else get this working properly?
GPU "processing" with Kdenlive on Bazzite with 4700u GPU?
Trying to cover all my bases on the headline LOL.
I confirmed LACT was installed, though I don't think that has anything to do with it.
Installed movit via RPM-OStree.
GPU processing is still grayed out. Currently waiting for a 20 minute video to process on CPU only and says it will take 3 hours :(
Immich x FUTO Q&A
Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they're going to be asking a flat fee "$5-20" for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says "that's between you and your God".
Project will remain AGPL and thus can be forked at any time. FUTO maintains the trademark of Immich name and logos.

The list just goes on here, but to boil it down: Sony wants dat sweet sweet data.
What VPN are you using?
I use Proton. But I continue to run into more and more websites and services that detect my VPN and refuse my connection, or just run literally 40 captchas in a row until I just give up.
I use Proton because it has a "suite" of products under a single subscription, but that benefit is losing it's allure as some of their products are pretty shitty from a user experience perspective, their customer support is atrocious, and they don't seem to pay any attention to what their users actually want.
Does anyone track known VPN servers? Is there a specific provider that causes less problems? Does anyone test different VPNs for detection?
Thinking about cancelling my subscription and moving to Mullvad.

If we get Pixel desktop I will def have to be upgrading to 9 Pro come Black Friday...
Thoughts on these SATA/M.2-->SATA/2.5" adapters?
Trying to squeeze some more storage in my MiniPC. I have questions about these. These use hardward RAID with selectable modes (Individual/JBOD/RAID1/RAID2).
-
If I use RAID 1 and one of the drives fails, will I know?
-
If a drive fails, and a slap in a new one, will it internally begin repairing RAID 1 again?
-
Can I use these as "individual" or JBOD and have 2 separate drives through the same connector, and use something like TrueNAS to software-RAID them?
Never occurred to me to use it this way until my brother came to visit.
Playing Helldivers 2. My brother on the desktop on the living room TV. Me on the SteamDeck on the couch next to him. Playing co-op together.
N100 Mini PC w/ 3xNVMe?
Not sure why this doesn't exist. I don't need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could potentially just have 2xNVMe and have the boot partition in RAID also? Bonus points if I can use it as a wireless router also.
Is it possible to create an OS that simply automatically runs .exe files through WINE/Proton/Bottles?
I really enjoy Linux but I find myself having to keep Windows partitions around for software that specifically requires Windows.
Proton makes everything easier by automatically running game files through a translation layer, and it "just works" quite well most of the time.
Also VanillaOS can apparently auto-spin a container when you try to open a .deb or AUR package (this is my rudimentary understanding).
Setting up WINE/Bottles, etc. is above my pay grade.
Is it not possible to create an OS that just does the same thing as Steam but for the entire OS?
Adding instances to your services?
Hi friends, I managed to get a few services running (Mobilizon, Mastodon, PeerTube etc.), and I'm just now realizing that by default none of these federated networks are subscribed to anything?
I'm going to be the only one using these services so I don't care about moderation or defederation. Is there no "subscribe all" button?
And if not, are there comprehensive lists somewhere I can download and import?
Thanks in advance.
Help with NGINX? so close...
Hi friends. I'm new to the whole homeserver. I managed to make a ton of progress very quickly using CasaOS but I've been hung up on this for a couple of days now.
I have Jellyfin set up and working properly, locally. I configured Namecheap to forward requests from [subdomain] to [WAN]. I have my router set up to port forward requests from [WAN] 80 and 443 to NGINX on [LAN] port 81. I created a proxy host in NGINX to forward requests from [subdomain] to [LAN Server] on [LAN] port 8097 (Jellyfin container).
Problem is when I type in [subdomain] into the browser, it takes me to the NGINX login page instead of the Jellyfin server...like it's not forwarding the request? Not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is appreciated.
Potential issue I see is that Jellyfin by default fires up on port 8097 but in the settings defaults HTTP to 8096 and...I'm not really sure why. Going to 8096 returns a "site can't be reached" error.
How to prevent link hijacking on sites like Facebook, Reddit and Twitter?
Lately I've noticed some mainstream sites injection tracking links into literally every link on their site.
When I hover over it, it shows the correct link at the bottom of my browser, but if I click it or copy it, it takes me to a hijacked tracker link.
Then I can't even get the original link without having my activity tracked.
How do I get the original link that appears at the bottom of my browser?
anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?
I've tried to figure some of this stuff out but I really don't know what I'm doing. Most documentation is written with a vocabulary I don't understand. Tutorials assume a high-level understanding of coding, software, CLI and a bunch of other stuff.
So far I've got an old gaming PC with a R7 2700x + 2060 Super and I think maybe it's overkill. I've got TrueNAS running on it but that's about as far as I got...
Thinking maybe we can have an open Jitsi meeting and just anyone who needs help can get it (myself included 🙂)?
Would anyone be interested in something like that?
-----------------------------------------------------------
E: some people have imagined up some things that I said so let me be clear about what I did not say:
At no time did I insist, beg, or demand that anyone help me.
I did NOT ask anyone to help with a specific issue, nor should I be required to.
I asked if anyone would be willing to help myself and possibly others to get some services running, and I asked to do it in a videoconference setting where we can have a discussion and where you can see what I'm doing as I'm doing it, out of respect for both of our time.
If you are not interested, you do not need to come in here and announce it, and you sure as shit do not need to speak for anyone else on whether they will want to. Just keep scrolling.
E2: special thanks to those who actually reached out and offered to help!
