So slavery, then. No surprise.

Games, economics, and politics aside...

FromSoft has to be about the worst name for a company ever.

"Five mistakes" were actually one point repeated over and over, for a ten minute video.

In other words, clickbait.

Fuck off with your spam.

Interesting points, but you're missing an important point: This isn't necessarily about the definition of what SHOULD be or MUST be preserved, but whether studios should be allowed to PREVENT it from being preserved by those who want to.

Well, I've found some of the answer.

/volume1 is a single LV on a single VG - no surprise there. There are two PVs comprising it, each of which is a RAID5 group across an extended partition on the disks.

pv0 is /dev/sd[abcd]5 and pv1 is /dev/sd[abcd]6

Now what I find most interesting right now is that SHR supposedly required btrfs to operate - and yet, /volume01 is an ext4 filesystem.

Part of me would like to convert to btrfs, but I'd need a spare 10TB of storage just to back up to, before starting down that odyssey.

More digging, more questions.

I get what you're saying, but it never works like that.

You said it yourself: "I hope reddit exists to...be a breeding ground..." And it will. The worst of humanity will collect and fester and grow in numbers. And what's going to happen then? Some will spill over to here, and other 'safe' communities.

There's no way we can thrive and simultaneously isolate ourselves from assholery; and by encouraging it to thrive elsewhere, we're only expanding its power and reach; and at the same time, enriching and empowering asshole billionaires like spez, Zuck, Musk, etc.

No, we need to fight them. We need to wade hip-deep in the shit to shovel it down the drain, rather than hoping it'll just go away on its own.

Look at it another way: If you have a garden, what happens if you designate one corner as "the weed corner?" It grows, spreads, and takes over the rest of the garden.

Yep, agreed. The biggest problem there is that Meta is generally not making life worse for its users than they're used to. Facebook and Instagram are giving you almost the same shitty experience you got a decade ago.

Nope.

If you encourage it, it will continue to fester and rot, and the entire internet will lower their expectations.

We need to destroy these companies. We need to smash them to pieces, and hey guess what - it's going to hurt a bit! We need to be prepared to stand up against evil, corrupt, racist, bigoted robber barons. We need to make some sacrifices to fix the internet.

Burn the fuckers to the ground, and let spez rot in a hole.

It's true that Qobuz pays more per stream, although I've heard that they pay an amalgamated sum to the label instead of direct payment by artist.

Furthermore, while MQA was a bit of a bait-and-switch (basically lossy versions of much higher quality), Tidal always offered pure lossless as well.

Qobuz apparently has a better classical catalog, but worse customer support.

Basically, I've found Tidal to be - at this point - a bit ahead of Qobuz. Not a real complaint, just a "if I had to choose..." opinion.

Short summary: Tidal is the best overall.

Balancing the content, quality, and amount paid to artists, I put it on top.

There's still one protest possible.

LEAVE REDDIT!!! GET THE FUCK OFF OF IT! LET IT DIE. MAKE IT DIE!

Same with twitter.
