Free speech is merely an ill-defined right to speak without consequence from the government, not the right to a podium wherever you choose.

Plex could be held liable as a vicarious enabler of infringement. Your suggestion that they turn a blind eye would endanger their very existence. Of course they are going to capitulate. It's a wonder they still exist as it is.

DID YOU KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO ASK ME WHAT MY ROTTING FISH CARCASS IS FOR UNDER THE ADA. I'M SUING YOU

Idiots. Idealism is fine when it doesn't endanger any and all future chances of actual progress. "Not being worried" about Trump makes clear that these people are whiny babies who can't possibly come up with a real solution or demand.

286 Protected Mode is very different from 386 PM and there is no way Linux will would run on it.

Imagine if Pirate Bay or Napster were considered completely above-board businesses just because they took down torrents if explicitly requested by the copyright holders.

That's kind of exactly how the DMCA works. That's the bargain, you take down offending content and make an effort to ensure it does not return and you are allowed to continue to exist and not be sued directly. The problem is that this goes against torrent sites' entire raison d'etre (usually under the argument that they don't even host offending content, just a torrent file) and so it never happens this way.

Just playing devil's advocate (I hate the DMCA for many other reasons), but if service providers were directly liable for what their users did, the Internet never would have grown up to what we know it is today.

There is no allocation if you haven't configured any. Whoever can get their shit stuffed in the pipe first wins. From that point, any bottlenecks either FIFO to/from buffers, or if buffers fill up, just start taildropping. TCP (and other transport layer protocols like QUIC) implementations then have a sliding window algorithm that figures out the optimal amount of data to keep in flight at one time based on RTT and any packet loss caused by taildrops along the way.

Just tell them how many Good White Americans™ living in flyover country make a living farming soybeans and watch their head explode.

Duh, we crushed racism after they...shot...Dr. King. Or something.

Except each container has its own libc and any other dependencies. If any linked binary or library has a different inode, it gets loaded separately. I would say it is indeed quite similar, even if the images in question here aren't hundreds of megabytes in size like with Electron.

This letter is absolutely savage. Citations practically every other sentence, interleaved with abject trufax.

When your own life is so miserable, you need to spew your trademark bile in response to an obituary for someone who was very much not an evil person. Maybe you'll find peace someday, but probably not before you jettison your shitty attitude.
