Meanwhile Google, Amazon, Facebook, and a billion AI web crawlers can hammer the fuck out of of your site and nobody cares.

Yes, but we have to pretend it might be, otherwise China won't sell us billions of tons of plastic tat.

Just post on them. Two birds with one stone.

But if you do comply, double down by ringing Kier Starmer up and letting him (and your local MP) know what you've been wanking off to, since he's so fucking interested. He could have blocked this, but he let it run because he also agrees with it.

I wonder if there's a browser addon to make an itemised list of all the videos and camgirls and then I can send it to him on a regular basis. It should log when you close the browser window so it knows when you've "finished" so to speak. Maybe I could highlight those videos in bold for him, so he can skip right to the good ones.

Well good news, because the opinion of the electorate counts for shit in any case, whether they can vote or not.

At best we can choose the colour of the tie of the conservatives in charge.

In any case, a quick look at any town's "Spotted" Facebook page should be enough to convince you that most adults aren't really a lot more functional than teenagers. They're just better at hiding their insecurity. People on mine went crazy for Reform. Reform got in (Derbyshire County Council). Reform closed a local community centre. The response: Why have Labour done this?

As a normal person, all I can do is run to one side to try and balance the Titanic, but if it's going to sink, it's going to sink.

I'd guess the repair option would look better if you had the same economic status as the person who initially put it together.

Yeah, command lines just feel native on Linux, where in Windows it feels like it's running off behind the scenes to fetch a grown up.

A lot of monitors have particularly bad HDR, the max brightness being so low you might as well not bother. And as you've found out some games are really washed out for some reason. Like to the point where the game is almost entirely grey.

Worse, some games actually detect the capability in the monitor and turn it back on, and for that reason I wasn't able to play Nex Machina on PC.

It's basically HDR (the 10 bit display kind, not the Half Life 2 kind), but with more metadata.

What I find is that if you have a Dolby Vision capable TV, it will be already calibrated to something that looks good, rather than you having to fuck around telling it how bright "paper" is or some shit.

HDR displays are surprisingly tricky, even without Dolby Vision or HDR10+. Especially if you're mixing SDR and HDR content on a display. I tried it a few years ago on Windows and it was flat out awful. I think they've fixed a lot of it up now with Win 11, but even they took their damn time over it.

Irish are non-white again. We're going back to the 1800s, baby.

MS do sell Atmos (and DTS:X) support as an individually licensed thing, threough Dolby Access and DTS Sound Unbound on their store.

I do wonder how it could work in Linux, as well as getting things like commercial streaming services in 4K.

Presumably some sort of black box hardware would be needed (for the super top secret Widevine L1 shit), the manufacturer of that can pay the Dolby fees, and then just some basic open source code to call the hardware features.

Yeah, it's just what would work for me once I cancel Netflix Premium Plus with Reduced Adverts.

You're absolutely right, that's just me not wanting it for Jellyfin on those grounds.

For mainstream users, I would assume that Linux being unable to run streaming services at full quality would discount it as a serious contender as well.
