When will people stop supporting this clown?

Remember when some people were like “well, I don’t support him, but I’ve had this Twitter account forever, so I’m not leaving.” This is what happens. Things just get worse until you gain plausible deniability for continuing to support the bullshit.

+1 for Pop. I fully expected to distro hop but have had it on my main rig for over a year now. Surprisingly pleasant.

Such a weird gatekeepy headline. I’d argue it’s virtually anyone born after 1980.

I’ve had 2-3 a day for the last few weeks.

Do you get as many filtered to spam? I think a lot of it comes down to phone number leaks, not spam filtering (and also spam filtering on SMS is dicey, because a false positive can be very costly).

When did it die?

Most of their entire business model relies on collecting data hand over fist, constantly. Hell, even actively not using their products doesn’t even make you safe.

The media library is the ONE reason I haven’t switched to Deadbeef. Everything else seems close enough.

Annoyingly, there is apparently an updated Medialib plugin for Deadbeef, but only on the Mac, since the dev is a Mac person.

Oops, I just commented about Foobar2k before seeing this comment.

Just want to mention that it does run on Linux as a Snap (though then you have to have a Snap installed, lol). I’m sure it runs fine with regular Wine too.

I use Foobar2000 for music. It is feature packed and so customizable. It’s available as a snap using Wine (I think it’s the only snap I have installed, in fact).

I really wish there were a Linux binary available but it has been Windows-only forever. The closest Linux player I’ve seen is Deadbeef, but Deadbeef’s library plugin does not work at all like Foobar’s (the later stays updated by monitoring the music folder and shows things by tags, not folder structure). Apparently the Deadbeef plugin is being updated to be more Foobar-like, but it isn’t there yet.

I mean, the point of Debian is stability. If I’m running Debian then I’m not even gonna want to try and install the thing until after I’ve seen 100 people use it. I don’t think they’ll be looking for it in repos.

Most definitely. I don’t think personally I would have an interest in using GFN, but I just didn’t understand what it was at all.

Makes sense. Yeah, I can see advantages for people e.g. on a laptop but with a good enough network infrastructure to make it work.

Thanks for the details!

Ah interesting. So rendering isn’t done locally?

In that case I wouldn’t even expect it to have a free tier since there are significant costs.

What advantage is there to using GeForce Now instead of Steam itself?

That’s not bait btw; I’m an all-AMD Linux gamer and I’ve literally never used GeForce Now.

They entered multiple industries and took losses to rise to the top and outlast the competition, in many cases. Now that they’re running what are practically utilities, they see there is no money in it and pull out.

Modern tech industry 101, and yes, it’s dumb as fuck.

I’m not sure that’s actually true. I’m not a lawyer but I suspect it would take more than an internet comment saying “I did it.”

Also, the elephant in the remains in the room: discussing piracy is not piracy.
