I think the RIAA has a different view on that. Huge push backs against recordable cassettes and VHS tapes when they were introduced.

I read his summary it was filled with sentences like “Thus begins the War of the Rings to End All Wars of the Rings.” It reeks of shitty fan fiction that should have lived out it’s life in a lost corner of the internet with all the other shitty fan fiction out there. It could easily have stayed there until humanity wipes itself out and the last servers lose power. This troll had to go a poke the bear and sue the rights holders for plagiarizing him in a prequel show loosely based off of existing Tolkien works when his novels are sequels.

As for what has value and why only things that have value matter. I think value is provided if a work of art or piece of media make you feel something, think about something new, or maybe just let you escape for a bit. What does that is going to vary based on the individual. I’m pretty sure this book only provided value to the author.

I think it’s okay to let this one go doesn’t seem like there is any value in his work.

I do think it’s time to open up the rights to older IPs and let the community make their own stories within universes though. I loved all the star wars EU stuff as a kid.

Yeah and once I got a steam deck I got back into PC gaming and built a rig spending even more money on steam games. It’s win, win for Gabe.

Disney hasn’t done anything culturally significant in a long ass time. It’s been at least a decade of acquiring mature IPs and grinding them into dust for profit, or remaking shittier live versions of their classic animations. They sucked the magic out of Pixar films in recent years as well.

You can use jellyfin to manage your Kodi media which is how I use it. I get the customizability of Kodi with the seamless syncing between devices of jellyfin.

Unsavory actors will find ways around any restriction put in their way. So these restrictions only serve to remove freedoms from the rest of us not commiting unsavory acts.

Maybe a little soon bro.

worked on chatgpt 3.5 last night. IDK if it’s fixed in 4.

They seem fine to me. Definitely a square profile if I run the test, but feel fine during gameplay to me. Probably the least worthwhile mod I’ve done though. The dbrand thumbstick grips are worth it.

My deck is about to reach it’s final form and I need a few years out of it. So far I’ve done

2TB ssd hall effect joysticks Transparent green shell front and back. played around with undervolting/ over clocking replaced screen with anti glare (only because I broke it)

I’m waiting on a beefier heatsink and I’d like to find some cool buttons.

The only other thing left to do would be try the 32GB RAM swap that some madlad did. I’m not really interested in the deck HD screen but could get behind a 800p or 1600p OLED panel.
