- Comment on If Kodak came back with a Camera tomorrow, what would you be awaiting from a company like them? 2 days ago:
Canon’s recent paywalling behavior if other companies start copying them, would be a good argument for picking up film again if you don’t care about video capabilities and only need stills - due to film’s analog nature, it and the gear that uses it, is immune to paywalls/DRM, and you actually own hard copies of your shots to digitize at will to boot.
- Comment on Microsoft is cracking down on people upgrading to Windows 11 on unsupported hardware 5 days ago:
This is just going to push people who aren’t locked into Windows, away from Windows, and Linux is making a pretty good argument for itself as a viable alternative atm, particularly for gaming.
Although another option would be to virtualize Windows on a Linux host too, that’s what I’m doing right now /w Win10 LTSC for general apps that aren’t entirely WINE-friendly, and then Win8.1 for some older games that aren’t entirely WINE-friendly, and the Win8.1 VM has my R9 270 being passed through to it over vfio-pci for graphics for that reason.

It’s only on Linux though, for Windows, CUETools and CUERipper are some of the most powerful OSS tools for ripping CDs you can get.

Whipper is pretty much a text-based clone of EAC.

The current administration is seemingly trying to kill the very concept of free speech and expression.

Good luck.
- Comment on Non-US alternatives to digital services 1 week ago:
PeerTube seems fine for a YT alternative (only because it’s pretty much either it or Odysee, that’s what happens when you have an effective monopoly on user-generated content like YT does, and PeerTube IMO needs to take off sooner rather than later given how ridiculous YT’s censorship has gotten lately), and then of course Lemmy (this platform) is looking really good so far as a Reddit alternative and I’ve only been on it for a day now, ditto for Pixelfed as an Instagram alternative.
And then of course there’s Mastodon for a Twitter/Facebook alternative.

Bluesky and Pixelfed are pretty good arguments for at minimum logging out of Twitter/Facebook/Instagram if not going all the way and closing your accounts there entirely.
And I bet Meta’s recent Linux crackdown is going to start steering people away from Facebook and Instagram to boot.
