That said, this has always been the case, they’ve just covered their legal bases by updating their TOS.

Can you be a little more specific with your definition of this and always? I am old enough to remember that when you purchased a physical copy of a game, you got the game in it’s entirety in perpetuity. Eg: I still have my Donkey Kong cartridge for my Atari 800. To be a little more current, I have a copy of Kerbal Space Program from the company that I can download the entire copy of the game and install it on my pc. So what do you mean by your comment, as I remember a time when it wasn’t the case that you were only purchasing a license? Or do you mean that it’s always been the case with these services?

I was just had by rockstar when they cut off certain people who paid to play GTA Online and are now blocked. I will be voting with my wallet and never purchasing another rockstar game in the future, and in case they ever happened to see this, I was considering picking up the rdr games not only on pc, but my xbox and maybe even the switch. It has soured me to the point where this steam issue more of a concern and something I will be keeping an eye on.

Also, one last comment about your last line. We don’t need congress to get involved if we as a collective of gamers just gathered together and stopped “licensing” their games. Just like if everyone, instead of complaining about the price of beer and hotdogs at stadiums, would just stop buying them for a while, the people raping our wallets would be forced to bring prices down. But alas, I think the chances of that happening are next to zero.

Maybe you should have phrased it “that showed” instead. That would have made it a little clearer.

Huh? They are all wearing harnesses and the middle guy is where you can see they are clipped in.

Does the uid you are using to run nginx have permissions to read the root folder (defined above as /var/www/html/partviewer/public , not the actual linux root) and below?

Same with me. I put a little heart in the middle left corner, and then went away on a trip. I was completely shocked to see it was still there for the final image. And love that it was worked into the Android logo. Thanks to all!!

I got it. Felt like I was just seconding your statement.

in any sane world.

It feels like that ship sailed some time ago.

I just got an email about a new power supply board for the rpi5 - PD Power Extension Board for Raspberry Pi 5. It’s on their pihut website and is $20. Has multiple input types.

Yup, people have proven time and time again that they are willing to give up privacy for something simple like convenience. So as tech progresses so will the deterioration of any privacy we may have left.

So the 1997 Superbowl was “back in the day…?” Holy fuck.

I mean, what else do you use for entertainment in AIX.

I once accidentally deleted all of our production portal apps in AIX. That was entertaining…

Fantasy Grounds has a 30 day no questions asked guarantee. If you don’t like it they will refund your money. Their license goes on sale quite a bit so you might be able to get it at a pretty good discount depending on the timeframe.

I had played a ton of arcade games, atari 2600, atari 800, intellivision, og nintendo games but it was San Francisco Rush on the N64 where I had to stop playing because my eyes hurt. I realized I hadn’t blinked in an hour or so, I was that immersed in the experience. It was absolutely mind boggling to me at the time.

They put a link in with the total…

Total Excluding duplicates 133,708,037 files 913.1 TB

You are fighting a losing battle and are damned if you do and damned if you don’t. I am willing to bet the people complaining about things being changed wouldn’t have even noticed if you hadn’t pointed it out. LOL.

I get that, but if it’s the only place something exists, it might be your only option and I was just tossing it out there so people knew it was available.

Just want to point out that you can download audio from a Youtube video using yt-dlp and the following options:

-x, --extract-audio                               Convert video files to audio-only files (requires ffmpeg and
                                                  ffprobe)
--audio-format FORMAT                             Format to convert the audio to when -x is used. (currently
                                                  supported: best (default), aac, alac, flac, m4a, mp3, opus,
                                                  vorbis, wav). You can specify multiple rules using similar syntax
                                                  as --remux-video
--audio-quality QUALITY                           Specify ffmpeg audio quality to use when converting the audio with
                                                  -x. Insert a value between 0 (best) and 10 (worst) for VBR or a
                                                  specific bitrate like 128K (default 5)

You might have to use a tool to re-do the tags, but that’s pretty easy to do. Edit: also want to point out that yt-dlp also works with a number of other sites besides Youtube.

Definitely stick with linux… LOL.

Thanks for the explanation.

What is CC and why does it need to be an acronym?
