I would expect a plan to have a lot more than 20 people watching something on their phone with AirPods (or a clone thereof). Just about everyone that's watching or listening to something on their phone nowadays is using BT headphones, because most phones don't have 3.5mm jacks anymore.

Honestly I thought all the MiniDiscs on Japanese store shelves were new-old-stock and manufactured like a decade ago, I'm surprised they were still making them until recently.

Doesn't AirPrint go through CUPS?

Adderall works better for a while, then its effectiveness tapers over time. I think I wanna switch back to Adderall though, since I don't take my medication very often anymore anyways

They do some crawling themselves, but Archive Team (a third party group) does a lot of web archiving as well.

My most frequent use case of the IA in general is the Cover Art Archive, and I frequently upload cover art for albums to the CAA via MusicBrainz. That's how I discovered the IA was down, when an upload failed.

If you don't know for sure, answer "can't say". A tag shouldn't be present if its proper value is unknown.

Was this with the most recent version of Debian? Bookworm includes non-free firmware with the installer now.

I have most certainly had OS installs (from every vendor) that worked flawlessly for a while. Why are you pretending as if those don't exist?

I don't think "ethically touchy" mattered much to Janeway...

I use LibreJS with few exceptions. If I need to use a site that requires non-free JavaScript, I'll use a private browsing window or (preferably) Tor Browser.

It would be cool to pay a monthly subscription, that’s then distributed among the software I use or have installed. That could be integrated into a package manager even. I don’t know if any Linux distro does something like it.

I've been thinking the same thing lately. It would be cool if at least there were some sort of metadata maintainers could include on packages saying, "if you want to donate money, upstream accepts donations at this link: <...>". Then I (or someone else) could put together a tool that helps you track what upstream projects you're donating to.

I understand that isn't nearly as easy as just a subscription though. The issue I see with that is legal - you'd need a legal entity specifically for accepting payments and disbursing each upstream project's share, plus all the accounting and such that goes along with it. I don't see why it couldn't be shared across multiple distributions though. Upstream packages could create an account with the funding service, then distro maintainers could include some sort of Funding-Service-ID: gnu/coreutils metadata and a way to upload a list of Funding-Service-IDs to the funding service's servers.

I think that would be doable, but it would require buy-in from distributions, upstream maintainers, and someone who could operate such an organization. Not to mention users.
