Streaming services don’t support artists in any meaningful way.
Instead, buy music for download when it’s available (Bandcamp and the like).
If not possible, just pirate it and buy merchandise or go to a concert. You will bring as much revenue to the artists this way, than listening to them on Spotify for 200 years non stop, and it will be cheaper for you in the end.
Good luck with software compatibility. The latest web-browser you can run on Windows XP is probably 10 years out of date by now and riddled with exploits, same with network share protocols, printer drives, etc. Your router will not protect you of attacs using port 443 or 80. Same for antivirus software, where are you going to find an updated one working on XP?
It’s not the gotcha that they think it is. Increasing share of Linux, steam deck or not is progress. Any development or considerations made for the SteamDeck and its Arch based OS benefit the non SteamDeck Linux gaming scene too....
ChromeOS is not counted as Linux for the same reasons Android isn’t counted as Linux and MacOS isn’t counted as BSD. Those are proprietary, locked-down operating systems. It contrasts with what is broadly understund as Linux, meaning Linux distributions that adhere to some kind of FOSS philosophy.
Most free web sites pay for their upkeep with ads. It has been an unwritten agreement since forever (or at least as long as there have been ads on the web) that if you consume the content, you pay the creator by looking at the ads on their site....
Sorry, can’t find the stuff I read about it a while back when I was interested about it, or was it a YouTube video?
Anyway, here is what I remember: having the radioactive fuel as a liquid makes it easier to leak, and once that’s happened, the environment damage will spread faster to ground water. Also sodium salt is liquid at high temperature, at which it will spontaneously catch fire in contact with oxygen (air), so any leak will cause a catastrophic fire, and this is what caused the demise of the French prototype “Projet Phénix” in the 70s.
It’s interesting to see it from the inside. It has been in construction for as long as I’ve leaved here. It looks like the inside of a mother-ship of some alien species.
Of course there is a lot of controversy about this project. I feel rather neutral about it.
The only way I can keep watching YouTube is with Smart Tube, uBlock and SponsorBlock. Donating 1€ to a content creator is equivalent to watch hundreds of hours worth of ads, so I prefer to do that when I can.
Yes, it’s regrettable to see public money is wasted on this kind of projects instead of being spent to really improve the public transport infrastructure. Although, in Germany, it really isn’t bad. But still.
