CPU

I’m likely going to have to upgrade to ryzen or similar if I wanted to dual boot 11. I’m on an FX-8350 so it might be time anyway.

Hmmm. I’ve never seen a board with a TPM header.

I love winutil. Makes debloating windows a lot easier.

Technically it works on Linux, but I didn’t feel like installing a Chromium browser to do it at the time.

tools to flash phone firmware

Yep. Forgot I had to use Chrome on Windows to flash GrapheneOS.

Most “Chrome-only” web applications I have to use I can get around just by changing my user agent string and everything works fine. I try not to use that stuff when I can, though.

What’s cloudflare’s issue? Censorship?

…like Lemmy.

Does that make Trump the bad guy?

I guess we’ll all just be childless cat ladies.

I don’t allow any cookies on my browser, so that would explain why it happens to me every time

Nice. Definitely will be using that

Freetube includes Dearrow?

Microsoft does this with the Xbox forums and it bothers me so much

Source/disclaimer: I work for an LN-partnered independently owned venue, so I’m likely to be very biased.

Live Nation/Ticketmaster is definitely a monopoly AND ticket prices are definitely gouged.

However, from what I’ve heard with many people in the industry, the current antitrust suit isn’t likely to change anything. Partnered/independently owned venues will still use Ticketmaster. Live Nation venues will still use Ticketmaster (unless they’re forced not to).

Additionally, most people that are complaining about prices don’t know that Live Nation typically has little say in the set ticket prices. The artist and/or their tour management sets them. And if people buy them, the prices stay the same (or go up, with the recent dynamic pricing fiasco). If not, the price is discounted.

Tickets aren’t even LN’s primary source of revenue. It’s food and beverage sales, which are also gouged. (Profit margins of 80-90% per item)

LN will continue to blame scalpers (or brokers, the politically correct industry term), which is partially the truth. While this is something I’m not fully aware of, LN has done some things to bring the prices down brought on by brokers. One of them is platinum seating. The most expensive tickets that get resold on ticketmaster are typically purchased by LN and then resold at the “normal” price. Yes, LN is losing money doing this, but it’s something they can use to cover their ass in the DOJ suit.

Another thing that several people have already mentioned is the cost of production is MUCH higher than it used to be, especially for stadium shows.

I don’t even go to shows myself anymore because of how ridiculous the prices are. We can only hope the DOJ suit does something.

Looks like Google Maps

IED??

How did you do it? Looking to do this on my own site.
