@HTHR "I made my way to the bad side of town. Lawless servers, shunned by the rest of the 'verse. You could get away with anything there, and some people did… but regardless, many called it home. I'd start my search there, because those folk know drama. Not the kind you'd find on Broadway, mind. No, the drama they knew was the deadly kind, the kind that could make you wretch, even log off. And this drama… was *too* deadly."

@masklayer well, it has to be in your home folder if they don't want to ask you for admin every time you install something. Linux folks complain about apps that make their own folder directly in ~. so, it should go in an "app" folder. ideally, this is ~/.local/share, but I'm guessing it's a relic from Windows where apps only have one folder for both config and storage.

@ninjawedding especially since it's the complete opposite from traditional broadcasts, which require significant engineering effort to remove ads from

@ninjawedding nobody wants to give up personalized ads and tracking though. in fact they're being added to linear broadcasts, now

@slickpockets @ninjawedding or satellite, whatever. idea is that it's real-time, non-random-access. linear.

@ninjawedding realtime reencode is possible, but not at youtube scale. you don't need that for personalization or tracking, though, as long as an ad is the same format as the main content you can just concatenate and re-mux. client can still figure out where the ad is, but it would require actual effort. server knows how long the ad is and can track that way. but anyway, all this is theoretical, I assume they do it this way for maximum flexibility and better user experience.

@slickpockets @ninjawedding right, the advantage of internet video is that, just like other internet ads, the distributor can customize the ad each user sees, better cater to the audience. linear TV can't do that since it's the same video stream for everybody, ads have always been part of the main stream. but some cable companies, that can control the end receiver software, have tech to make it more like internet video and replace ads in the broadcast on the client side.

@Siphonay just because there's an entry for it doesn't mean it's actually implemented. Like macOS has an Esperanto language option but no apps are actually translated for it.

@staticsafe there's an askagamedev post about this, but the reason cheat codes existed was to test the game, since compile times (plus reflash ROM/rewrite CD) were long and debuggers weren't good/didn't exist. once games on HDD were common and debuggers were good (~6th-7th gen), cheat codes just weren't needed anymore.

Weird that while there's a lossless image format that's universally supported and commonly used, but not an equivalent for audio. There's Flac and some others, but they're not as compatible or as widely used. I wonder if it has to do with required CPU overhead, from what I've heard most lossless audio is quite "heavy."
