You guys wouldn't happen to have any tips on DVD ripping would you? I'd like to go all digital but I just can't make Handbrake work.

Does it happen to do swype?

I've been preaching this about "moist" for years. I genuinely haven't found anyone with an aversion to it who disliked the word before dislike of it became a part of the cultural fabric.

So I gave the article a glance and it's a bit beyond me can someone give me an eli5?

That actually lays it out incredibly well for me. So in practice, what would I need to look out for as a wired desktop Ubuntu user with mullvad? It's sounding like this is going to be an issue on public networks, is this something my isp can do to me at home?

If I remember correctly from my rabbit hole, it tracks your viewing habits by a far wider list of variables and on a micromanaged scale. It can be annoying if you have someone sending you content you don't like because viewing them will slot them into your feed immediately, but it's just as quick to discard those things. I found it very easy to train for my interests in cooking, goblincore, and irrational humor.

Personally I've not tried shorts, I don't have any issues with it but I've only ever used YouTube for long form educational videos or horror fiction so it never has anything to offer me.

Fake age comparison really making me feel old. Mine was Jan 1,1980

I remember when photoshop became widely available and the art community collectively declared it the death of art. To put the techniques of master artists in the hand of anyone who can use a mouse would put the painter out of business. I watched as the news fumed and fired over delinquents photoshopping celebrity nudes, declaring that we'll never be able to trust a photo again. I saw the cynical ire of views as the same news shopped magazine images for the vanity of their guests and the support of their political views. Now, the dust long settled, photoshop is taught in schools and used by designer globally. Photo manipulation is so prevalent that you probably don't realize your phone camera is preprogrammed to cover your zits and remove your loose hairs. It's a feature you have to actively turn off. The masters of their craft are still masters, the need for a painted canvas never went away. We laugh at obvious shop jobs in the news, and even our out of touch representatives know when am image is fake.

The world, as it seems, has enough room for a new tool. As it did again with digital photography, the death of the real photographers. As it did with 3D printing, the death of the real sculptors and carvers. As it did with synth music, the death of the real musician. When the dust settles on AI, the artist will be there to load their portfolio into the trainer and prompt out a dozen raw ideas before picking the composition they feel is right and shaping it anew. The craft will not die. The world will hate the next advancement, and the cycle will repeat.

The roku TV I have screens every dvd we play and tells us we can watch it easier on a streaming service.

Postmortal_Pop ,

Agreed, if it wasn't a free TV I'd return it. Though it doesn't have any complaints about my pirated media so at least that's nice.

I'm out of the loop here, how does ownership actually impact the world in these cases? If I buy an nft image do I own the copyright to it? Do I get legal control over its use? What's the deal here? I see a lot of talk about ownership of a digital asset but I have thousands of digital images stored and I don't get why a blockchain is needed in the situation?

Postmortal_Pop ,

I did not no, I'm an ardent believer that proprietary file format is a bad form for media as it relies on a single entity to maintain its support.

Postmortal_Pop ,

I get that part, the crypto stuff is just a fancy way of getting the paper receipt when I buy a movie at the store. Where I get lost is the product. From what I understand of the nft system, the code isn't in any way related to the image, it's just a receipt of purchase. Does buying this monkey image give the buyer copyright? Does it allow the buyer to distribute the image? Does it work like album art, where the band buys the image from an artist to use as album art making all future usages of that image the property of band? Or are these just a cool sticker that comes with the purchase of a unique string of code that people are using to speculate?
