There’s a piece of software that I use at work for managing tickets for a client, every time I open it there’s a note that the app will be replaced next month on the 1st. This notice gets updated on the 27th of each month without fail by the end of day. For now critical infrastructure remains running on a windows xp machine that we remote into using the only software that let’s people connect to it.
What is a “gloves off” middle option though? Like I get your point, but to stop fascism you can’t go high, and if your options are going high or throwing the guardrails aside to put up a meaningful resistance… Then you have to put up a resistance

A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they’ve been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.
In that case the ads are video only, no clicking on them, including to skip or anything else. So it would be detecting that trying to change where you are in the video doesn’t change anything (and exclusively playing via your 3 second buffer)
These cameras are now recording lawn signs as well now, which tends to be a bit more of a broad array of intelligence.
The problem is that Microsoft wants to pay that for a permanent “never maintain in a way that breaks caption decoding in any default behaviour we use” with that one time payment.
Its a quick fix on Microsofts end to change a quick flag in ffmpeg. It’s also quick on their end to maintain a fork that only changes the default. One time payments for maintenance make open source projects like ffmpeg subject to fail.
Hilariously the issue was just a setting change in the update, that you can easily change via a command option. They saw thing didn’t work, and didn’t read the change log at all before asking to pay a one time fee to guarantee it be maintained for them.
How? If you have only 1 grocery store and you need to survive, then you must buy from that store.
Power supply… You’re next option is to remove the power supply from the computer… With a chainsaw.
I may be taking slightly drastic action.
To add to this - for borderlands 2, which is not an “ideal” title at all speedrunners across the board use dxvk while about half of the rest of players use it because not only does it about double fps, it also stops a memory leak, fixes random crash bugs, and cuts down loading times.
Dxvk is just amazing where it works properly.
