Marshall has copyright on his lyrics, you just said yourself patents and copyright are different things.

Sufficiently different rip-offs that don't confuse consumers as being the original should be legal. They already are as far as copyright is concerned.

Many design patents should never have been registered, and should lose when defended in court. Design trademarks are a third similar issue.

Multipart archives still exist. They're now used for file sharing websites that have a maximum file size. Before that they were for unreliable p2p networks, so you didn't lose the parts you'd already downloaded when your peer goes offline. Originally it was to fit something big on multiple cd-roms or floppies.

Opening somthing.rar also reads the data in somthing.r01 through somthing.r15 etc

For fast easy machine single-serve, get a machine that takes beans. They cost about three pod-machines but they're worth it. The pod-machines are cheaper because they come with vendor lock-in for the pods, and they just profit more on those instead.

Perhaps I should read Ursula's bag theory myself, because I'm not quite following how it applies to Solarpunk or talking about climate from this.

I like everything I've read of Le Guin. Just finished reading her last one, Lavinia (Pre-Roman historical myth based on the Aeneid). The Dispossessed is great and you get a feel for an anarchist society. She also wrote a good translation of the Tao te Ching.

It'd be a lot easier to work with more conventional hardware.

First of all you downloaded the wrong version, your device is not amd64 but arm64. OSMC for Vero provides an img, so you can install an OS like you would on a raspberry pi. Though you'd probably have to make your own image since afaik it's not really an rpi?

You can probably run hass in docker or install hass core instead.

You wouldn't smell it if it was pure air. It's VOCs from the inks, plastics, solder flux, thermal paste, etc

It's good for email and personal sites (those aren't dead, but they're more popular for people that either write a lot or are self-employed). I'd only use a personal domain for self hosted apps if the users are just you and your family.

For something like hosting Lemmy, with users you don't know, I wouldn't use the same domain as where you host your other personal stuff, even if it's not your name.

There are multiple of us! I did the exact same thing, except for using my own name. Mine ends in .re of Réunion. I think it's fun so I'm keeping it.

For sharing it offline I have a big text widget on my phone. They usually get it if they can read it, but not if I spell it out.

I also think of public libraries when I hear library; but technically yes. There are libraries where you can go read the material but not lend it out.

I tried it. If I count everything I pay periodically (more bills than subscriptions) I get to 13 things, and the monthly total was slightly higher than I thought due to yearly stuff like school.

Maybe it's just not for me. I'm not big on budgeting (I only really budget things that don't fit in last month's wage) . Used to do YNAB for about two years (the offline version you could buy on Steam) a lot of work for no benefit.

Even if you do properly budget, I don't see the value of this over using a spreadsheet.

You don't need light to grow mushrooms.

Mostly unrelated environmental stuff like microplastics come up a lot when talking about climate. People confuse climate and environment.
