It’s true! Now it was “just” an 8-slotter Asus G3 and not one of those 24+ slotter monsters, but still!

Japanese companies have a habit of getting bored and just delving into random ass industries LMAO

Similarly, I can also let you know, as tempting as it may be, adding a 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th does not fix this issue either lmao

But maybe an 8th…

Lmao totally misread the date

I find actual classic country to just be boring, but not boring with a beat enough for work music like Classical music.

The modern country stuff I loathe for just like you said, being Republicunt siren songs lol

Sadness :(

Because things, unfortunately, cost money to run. Digital crowdsourcing isn’t magic, it requires adequate infrastructure to run and facilitate said crowdsourcing data.

Static maps are easy, load em up on a server and people just download one way. Sure it might get a little slow when busy but eh.

Live things however require constant near-real-time communication to be useful. And that requires servers and bandwidth and other infrastructure.

And that’s not even going into how the premium fee goes back into further development and refinement of other features and maintenance.

And before you say “Well, federation!” I say well look at the Threadiverse, each is comprised of individual instances that’s true. But each instance, has a bill they have to pay to keep running.

Tbf, that’s dirt cheap and getting used to “free” products like Google Maps with live traffic is kinda how we got in this mess on the first place LMAO

I don’t think having a paywall in of itself is bad, so long as it’s a good affordable and reasonable price and isnt going to some giant corpo

It looks like the same drive, but more unhinged

Maybe the next Phoronix article is going to be even eviler 😅

This is the only voice I hear “What’s up with that?” In 😂
