[01:13]	IsambardPrince	schestowitz[TR2], Apparently, Google will neuter F-Droid next year.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	It will require all developers to get a Google account and sign their apps even if they're outside of the Google Play store.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	I got an alert from Newpipe saying that it will just stop working after that.
[01:14]	IsambardPrince	Because they won't sign the agreement.

[01:15]	MinceR	afaik it will still work fine on multiple AOSP derivatives
[01:15]	MinceR	if goolag doesn't want to ship a smartphone OS anymore, it's on them

[01:21]	IsambardPrince	MinceR, I was considering earlier how much I preferred the 90s for so many reasons.
[01:21]	IsambardPrince	One was going to the actual video store to see what was new.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	And asking the person at the counter to recommend something.
[01:22]	MinceR	the 90s may well have been when humanity peaked
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	And just playing it in a VCR instead of dealing with all this weird DRM shit called streaming.
[01:22]	IsambardPrince	You could only watch so many movies and each one cost like $2 to rent for the night.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	vs. like hundreds to stream, every month.
[01:23]	IsambardPrince	You got a couple movies on Friday, returned them Saturday, you spend like $4. Run them off to a blank tape really quick if you liked one.
[01:24]	IsambardPrince	Sometimes you could do three day rentals or buy a used rental copy if they moves from the new releases wall.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Most physical formats let you watch something effectively unlimited times.
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	Lots of tapes made in the 80s and 90s still work. Probably a higher percentage than DVDs. 
[01:25]	IsambardPrince	The oldest DVDs are now 30 years old and basically about one in four that I'm encountering that are nearly 30 years old don't play or get halfway through and freeze the player.

[01:32]	TR Bot	 AI still doesn't work very well in business, reckoning soon The Register
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	I hope it's an expensive disaster for them.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	Of course they'll respond to the debt binge with a wave of bankruptcy and layoffs.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	That's already happening but they're saying it's because "AI" is good at replacing workers.
[01:35]	IsambardPrince	They have to say something while the management sells stock.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	An ideal time for this bubble to pop is the Iran war.
[01:36]	IsambardPrince	They can blame high energy prices.
