ANY DAY NOW

We pay for subs to damn near every streaming service. I am constantly having to send them the passwords or even reset the passwords(to the same password), so they can login devices they've logged on a hundred times.

Multi-core processors already do this. Give the Android OS a Core or 4, the Linux OS a Core or 4(or however many). The power management already works in the suggested configuration as well: High-power cores are put to sleep when not in use.

The remaining question is whether the hardware virtualization is in place on the specific ARM chip in question to give/confine the one OS(virtualized/parallelized, not dual-booted) a specific Core or set of cores. It could be desirable to give Linux and Android each a low-power core and have them dynamically split the rest, with Linux controlling prioritization.

There are high-powered Linux apps. Moreso than Android in-fact.

CentOS no longer offers support for users who re-enable those things. AlmaLinux has in theory committed to keeping those things set so that users don't have to manually re-enable them, and that to keeping them working, at least for now.

On the off chance that ALL THAT is true, it would be "restoring support" ... but I have no skin in this game and doubt that many, if any, CentOS users would be swayed to a new distro like so.

The "actual devs" straight copied another app that is still available on the app store, and then enshittified it heavilly. To the depths with them!

In either context, Steam is a noun and does not come across as a verb, particularly in the context of this community. Good luck correcting the grammar of others in future, but you've fallen flat here.

Looks like you and I both meant to respond to this other comment by @GenderNeutralBro@lemmy.sdf.org : https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/9293054 https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/9620373

... well shit. Anyone know how I can link a comment in an instance-agnostic way? Ridiculous that while all three of those links go to the same comment, the commenter I'm replying to can only really interact with one of them ... and why the hell does user tagging seem to be broken? I had to manually create that link.

Its the whales and the people that can't afford to buy more media than they already do.

If the industry actually got the big spenders to do away with their self-hosting/data-archive setups, they won't actually put that money into more media, as they're already budgetting a set amount for the media itself which is not going to increase.

No, offering them more money to remove those obstacles sends the wrong message. It would literally save them money to leave it out, so in what world would that entitle them to more of your money or mine?

You DO have the right to copy it. It's sharing that copy that becomes a potential legal problem.

Not an analogy, a parallel. Israel literally prefers that food be left to rot or dumped at sea rather than reaching "certain" people who need it.

Its called "shrink", and retailers handle theft exactly like so. If the labels and publishers haven't thought to claim such losses on their taxes, then they need new lawyers.

They never said it was theft. Its taking away a "right"(CONTROLLING distribution, being able to DENY it to some) that should not BE a "right". Saying grocers have the right to deny food they were going to throw away to those who would eat it is little different than saying Israel has the right to deny the entry of aid in the form or food and/or medical supplies into Gaza.

It's a "right" to FORCE people to starve, and to FORCE others to let them starve. "Right"? Its no such thing.
