How soon before WINE is included in this?

Sony patent could let players tap a credit card on their PlayStation controller to rent games.

• Ftfy, Dexerto, if something can be taken away from you at any time, you don’t own it, you’re only renting it.

Australia claims it is a global pioneer in killing online speech rights.

What’s stopping the FCC or your country’s equivalent from locking down HAM regulations?

Not gonna matter when apps and services start blocking Linux, or even worse, should this shit creep up the chain to the ISP level and should ISPs start requiring an Apple, Google, or MS OS just to get online to begin with.

Hold up, the Audi I5 is an engine that can be pushed to quad-digit power levels by experienced tuning shops, and the Audi/Lambo V10 has been pushed to 3k+ hp before, namely by AMS in their Alpha Omega Huracan/R8 package.

Also, as I said before, the Chrysler 3.3 and 3.8 V6 have a reputation for outlasting whatever they put into, the Jeep 4.0 I6 is just as legendarily unkillable as the Chrysler 3.3/3.8 if not moreso, and going back to being able to make crazy amounts of power without blowing up, the Viper engine is up there with the best of them, being pushed well into quad-digits by experienced tuning shops like the Audi I5 and Audi/Lambo V10.

And whatever efficiency increases you get from the friction loss reduction that wet belts offer are minuscule to boot, and probably won’t even show up on your fuel bill, I’m pretty sure Ford went this route with the 1.0 EB just to appease bean counters and the EPA.

That said, the idea to use an unbalanced flywheel to functionally replace a balance shaft and reduce engine weight is kinda cool, ngl.

Wet belts are something where I get the theory behind it, reduction in friction losses leads to efficiency increases, but it shouldn’t be implemented in practice because oil eats rubber, just use dry belts or chains like everyone else, or even geartrains like heavy truck engines or high-RPM race engines use, the idea behind geartrains for the former being greater long-term reliability than belts or chains, and the idea behind them for the latter being better responsiveness at high RPMs.

Also, tuners got ahold of the Hurricane I6 and are doing similar things to it to what they did to the 2JZ to get tons of power out of it. Like, a giant single turbo and other supporting mods can unlock stock Hellcat-level power on that thing.

Wasn’t the Chrysler 3.3/3.8 V6 a tank though? Like that engine has a well-earned reputation for just going and going even if it wasn’t very powerful. If anything, that V6 in particular will probably outlast whatever it was put into, like there are minivans with 200k+ miles on them probably which have one of those engines and they’re likely still going. I really don’t see a Pentastar lasting as long as the 3.3 and 3.8 have a reputation for lasting.

That would kill the Fediverse and other alternatives too, though, because they wouldn’t be allowed to exist by said regulations. What you’re suggesting is gonna result in vendor lock-in by making it impossible for smaller competition to comply.

Ahh… Amber Turd, the bed shitter.

Damn, first legitimately good thing I’ve seen come out of that country in a while as far as legislation is concerned.

Good thing Matrix and XMPP exist as alternatives.

If I start getting straight-up locked out of Discord unless I show my face or ID, I’mma just stop using it full stop.

I mean, shit, Discord’s already getting ridiculous with their Nitro ads. No, Discord, I don’t want Nitro, stop asking me. No needs to start meaning no again.

and it’s likely any project that integrates it, with be “extinguished” via legal action in the future.

That would mean killing the entire internet whose servers run Linux, because the kernel is messing with AI now.

Madoff Altman is at it again.

Don’t do this, just run a Linux distro if you don’t run anything that’s vendor-locked to Windows by DRM.
