Fuck it. Force them from release date. There’s no reason for them to dictate what you can and cannot run on the hardware you purchase. If they can’t compete by providing a better OS or software, and must rely on anti-competitive models to profit, then they don’t deserve to waste the planets resources.
Trump got paid. That’s the important part!
All of project 2025 is the fascist declaration of war. When the heritage foundation architect said “the revolution will be bloodless, if the left allow it” he meant they will murder everyone who opposes their Christian fascist dictatorship. Everything left of fascism is “the left”.
This was the intended outcome. Our politicians don’t work for us. They work for capital.
Yeah, storage/bandwidth is the overall limiting factor regardless for 8k. Also, most peoples xp with 4k is streaming, so there would likely be 100x more of a market for increasing bitrate from the current “compressed as all fuck” up to 4k Bluray bitrate, before anyone cares about 8k… but of course, that isn’t something that TV manufacturers can control or use to sell more products.
The real reason for lack of interest is streaming quality of 4k has been getting worse for years, and is still like 1/10th the quality of 4k BluRay, with enormous levels of compression and artifacts.
8k requires 4x the data. We all know that means every subscription would charge at least 2x more to maintain profit margins of unlimited growth for vulture capitalism, and they’d skimp on the extra data too; leaving users with nothing better than the current 4k.
We could try slingshotting it round the sun a few dozen times and really fuck em up.
Countries are not run in their best interest. They are run in the best interest of their ultra wealthy.
FYI, there isn’t much difference between this and mandatory encryption backdoors. Both are fundamentally authoritarian… So when your gov’s push for encryption backdoors, they are a domestic enemy en par with Putin and all other dictatorships.
The American nazi party is the only party allowed to act at the behest of foreign powers.
Yes, your confidence in something you apparently know nothing about is apparent.
Have you ever thought that openai, and most xitter influencers, are lying for profit?
You do realise that everyone actually educated in statistical modeling knows that you have no idea what you’re talking about, right?
Most importantly, by using Lemmy you aren’t enriching a techno-fascist platform. They can scrape lemmy the same way they used to scrape reddit, but at least my content does not benefit a greedy little pig boy fascist fucknut.
I already assumed that all project 2025 purges to date have been done with input from statistical modeling, in a way that removes far more “liberals” who might refuse orders, and retains as many MAGA/fascist bootlickers as possible.
They always dramatically inflate losses to justify how bad and mean pirates are.
“Pirates stole 40 million billion trillion schmeckles”
This isn’t democracy. It is capitalist dictatorships terrorising the working class.
Secret police monitoring your every action is incompatible with democracy. It is authoritarian tyranny.
Welcome to the fascist dystopia many of us could see coming decades ago. If you think this is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Gestapo, KGB — big brother — never had any concept of anything close to 1 millionth as powerful as 2025 surveillance capitalism.
Remember, there is no bottom. No matter how bad things get, they will always surprise you with how much more sadistic and psychopathic they can go.
The reason is that we all live in capitalist dictatorships masquerading as “democracy”, and are rapidly approaching a time when climate change, wealth inequality, and automation will see widespread revolt of the proles, so the ruling class is tightening its grip, and going all in on fascism.
I actually probably spend more on hardware and labour pirating content than I would on multiple streaming services, but at least I don’t pad the profits of enshittified platforms, and can watch what I want when I want.
