can people just be reasonable?

Not when there are pearls to be clutched.

I really admire your drive to produce art. You are absolutely cranking these things out!

Should be the same across any instance.

Google’s own Shaka sdk (video playback with ads) gives ad markers in the initial video manifest so that they can be marked on the timeline, so hopefully it’ll be trivial. Usually (but not always) with SSAI, the ads are spliced into the stream just before being sent to the client. That way if a user has just recently watched an ad pod, the server can choose to ignore that marker for a better UX in hopes that they don’t bounce if ads are too frequent.

But how do you keep it from just sinking down into the pocket every 20mins? That’s the guide I need.

Sure. Obviously it’s more complex than that, but it helps illustrate where the math came from in the parent comment. I don’t know why Tidal pays more, but I’m hypothesizing its because most of their “co-owners” of Tidal are themselves, artists/musicians, which IMO is significantly better than the out of touch folks running Spotify.

Think of it not in terms of revenue percentages, but by payouts per song stream:

So song for song, Apple is paying 2.5x what Spotify is (.008/.00318), and Tidal is paying out a whopping 4x what Spotify pays.

So if the whole premise is based on Hammurabi’s Law: eye for an eye, life for a life, are they also planning to execute the babies whose mothers die from pregnancy-related complications, or am I off base here? Just wanna see where the line is.

Aren’t they all still WebKit under the hood though? Until they allow other web engines this is still just the illusion of choice.

I’d rather give the ad revenue dollars to a small, independent company like Plex over a media giant like ViacomCBS if the content is similar. Just my 2¢.

has tons of free tv-like channels with a slew of content. Plus you can self-host your own media on there for free too if you that’s your thing.

Caravaggio - an absolute master of contrast and light. He manages to balance a painterly hand with realism in such a pleasing way. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some of his works in person, and they’re all just so impossibly smooth and polished.

As nitefox said already, you can start the steam deck on desktop mode and it’s already running Linux with KDE. My first thought when I read your post was also that Steam Deck could be exactly what you need. Plus they just refreshed it with better thermals, battery life, and display. A usb c dock would get you a pretty decent dev machine on a budget. Plus it’s great for retro gaming.

Rockstar should absolutely just hire this kid as a whitehat instead.

You’re not wrong. According to the current scientific understanding of the universe, that’s exactly what it is. They just gave it a badass name.

Seems like a risky outfit to paint in with those sleeves dangling all over the place.
