the money is drying up, gotta find new ways to monetise

If governments the world over were as obsessed with solving things like the climate crisis and cost of living as they are with undermining encryption techs, we'd be living in a utopia by now.

They tried this here in Australia, luckily for us it got voted down. Iirc there's been other countries trying the same BS

Hey Beavis.. Eheheh, I'm a skull now. This kicks ass!

The video is from Paramount Plus, who don't currently have the rights to Prodigy, even though the parent company does. If they included it in their promotional material it would effect their ability to either sell those rights to someone else or write the show off for tax purposes.

It's convoluted and stupid, but running your streaming service as a separate entity is how all the studios have it rigged up. Accounting ftw

It's the 2015 from Back to the Future

Bluesky confuses me, how do I discover anything without hashtags? Maybe I've been on mastodon too long?

Prodigy has been removed from Paramount Plus.

Technically yes they do own Star Trek, but the way the accounting works is they sell the broadcast/streaming rights back to themselves. It's a bit convoluted, but taking the rights away from their own service means CBS as a studio can either resell it to another broadcaster/streamer or failing that write it off for tax purposes.

It sucks, but all the studios rig it up this way

I was similar, almost monthly releases over the years kept me engaged.

I would add to those recommendations the Cold Equations Trilogy and if someone enjoys that, Mortal Coil (as a prequel to cold Equations) and The Light Fantastic as a sequel.

People who hate them have never driven them

Yes... Microsoft hearts Linux... When it runs in azure selling CPU cycles or maybe WSL

Show me a good quality panel in a dumb TV that is not an outdoor advertising panel priced for commercial purposes and I'll throw money at it

Move to silverblue/kinoite and when the urge to use another DE just rebase the OStree to the other branch - Silverblue for Gnome, Kinoite for KDE, Sericea for sway, Vauxite for xfce and there are some other not yet official branches for other DEs on Quay

So in Nebraska a two men with a measurable difference in size and strength in a relationship are actually heterosexual?

We still get our share of toxicity here. I mused recently that if you're assessing the success of lemmy/kbin on how close an experience to reddit it is - I've been attacked in the same ways by hyper fixated debate lords here too

Similarly if nvidia wanted me to buy their cards they'd get their drivers sorted out. While plugging in an amd card just works with literally no setup from me, nvidia will get no money from me

Brave at least claims to be an actual fork of chromium, they cherry pick upstream apparently. It's still full of crypto bs, so choose your poison.

You can get usb-c aux adapters that split off a charge port too, they aren't very expensive either

You think people are really trying to use Lemmy to advertise?

Totally not robots! Am I right fellow HUMANS!

how will I read the instructions a vendor sent me for a windows server that is a word doc because who knows? Oh no... Anyway
