The Linux Foundation isn’t doing most of that legwork though, multiple corporations with their own interests are. Microsoft, Valve, and Red Hat are some of the biggest contributors to the kernel, but they aren’t paying teams specifically to keep up Linux as much as they are paying teams to develop for them things which must be contributed back to the kernel.

I’m going to somewhat disagree, at least in principle. In the past three years I have heard so much good new music, music made in the last five to ten years, or even music made the year I heard it, that I think it’s out there. It’s just much more difficult to latch onto. There’s so much new stuff that’s just palatable, there’s a lot more access to music making gear and equipment that just about anyone can release an album now.

Popular music is mostly dictated by the law of supply and demand, if an artist is easily marketable then a record label is going to invest. Most streaming platforms are designed to spotlight up and coming artists (most marketable artists), or those artists who already have massive fanbases (market stalwarts). This wasn’t any different 50 years ago, but 50 years ago there was a higher standard for what music got to be released. There was also a much higher bar to entry for recording studio-quality music.

This is remarkable in the sense that not every company or every company’s offering is profitable in the cloud space. Broadcom definitely just looked at the numbers and decided this service should be cut wholesale.

Is it right? It’s a corporation that just spent $61 billion on this, when were they ever concerned about right and wrong? They exist to gobble profit.

I’m almost afraid to answer this question.

The rock from the 60s and 70s got ubiquitously considered classic rock by the early 90s, but I wouldn’t classify anything beyond the early 80s as “classic”. I think that the genre may expand with time, but the 60s and 70s were the true origins of rock. The music past that is definitely not new, but not “classic”.

I guess that makes my answer G.

Edit: From a marketing perspective, I’m about to cringe hard, music up to the mid-90s is considered classic rock. To me that seems like it’s just an easy way to keep “classic rock” more entertaining and nostalgic for the older markets, and more relevant for the younger ones.

Hoboken has seen pretty good success with daylighting and “20 is plenty”

This is such an awesome question! I never gave it much thought but the things we focus on, or that to which we give attention, has some amount of value in our minds. By giving it value, we increase its importance. While it may be an inanimate or abstract object or concept that has received our focus, by increasing its importance it could have lasting effects on the future relevance of that particular object or concept.

Still plenty of people who can’t live without reddit unfortunately. We’re just in the initial crowd here. I really think FOSS at this point is the only way to a fair and open future on the Internet Lemmy, Mastodon, etc. are great bastions for that.

They recognize exactly why people prefer larger vehicles and then completely miss why driving a smaller vehicle puts you at a disadvantage against those bigger vehicles. People would of course become very angry if they’re told their humongous, gas-guzzling, tank of a vehicle were illegal to operate on the road especially only 7 months into an 84 month loan.

How then to reasonably phase these giant cars out? They’re directly more dangerous to everyone but the person sitting inside.

What’s the use case here?

[-] astraeus@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago

Did you report that issue to the lemmy github? Sounds like something the devs should probably address.
