Because vector graphics take up much less space. That’s the joke.

Now I’m going to put the joke out of it’s misery.

Most of the illustrations, formula, tables etc. in a math book could be vector graphics, most of them were in 90% of the upper level math text books I’ve ever had, usually in only 2 colors. Many math formulas can be represented and formatted directly using only Tex or LaTex. Mostly physics and math involving more than two dimensions would have more raster images, even color. But it’s not like the publishers are going to be handing out PDFs with original vector graphics embedded. That would make high quality knockoffs trivial.

Thumper (Bambi) is a rabbit.

Hazel (Watership down) is a hare.

Same reason anyone has played any of the thousands of games that predate “the cloud” or games that don’t even have a save feature. Cloud saves? No thanks, never have, maybe never will.

Besides, if you’re not paying for the service, you’re the product not the consumer.

Hardlinking files to their new destination and your normalized naming schema. Using symlinks would be madness.

It’s a lot easier to setup and get non-techy family to join. Setting up Jellyfin is easy until you want access outside your LAN. Setting up TLS or a VPN is a hassle I don’t want unless there is no other option. Plex has features I (and my family) use that jellyfin doesn’t support by default yet. Last I checked syncing of files for offline viewing in the official app wasn’t very good yet. Plex has a bunch of ad supported live streams baked in that aren’t too bad. There is a “How It’s Made” channel, a Mythbusters channel, and Top Gear channel. PlexAmp isn’t perfect, but it’s better than any of the Jellyfin options I’ve seen.

Every university needs a cool bug guy. And no matter what discipline you’re in, your college experience will be better for knowing them. Kind of like the groundskeeper at Starfleet Academy, Boothby

I want a shady hammock grove.

You’d think that the supposedly fiscally conservative and free market loving party would be thrilled that they’ve found a way to let the market pay for road maintenance.

This is just the next logical step towards locking the NSFW communities behind a paywall. But, I don’t think it’s for the revenue, mostly. It’s an essential step in tidying up their image and dealing with the regulations around internet censorship and linking real identities to users. They’ll make way more money off of marketing to and marketing data of a fully identified userbase. They’ve already profiled them, linking those profiles to real people will just multiply the value of those profiles. Reddit is Facebooking themselves, selling out their users to turn community into a product. I guess since nobody google searches anymore, and Google did the same thing, we could also call it Googling themselves.

No, that’s economics not politics.

It’s ironic that the conservatives pushing for this frame it as ‘working class Americans paying off Ivy League debt’, give then context of the current administration firing en mass federal employees with fucking masters degrees working for peanuts.

They keep trying to convince the poor and uneducated that the class war is between them and the college educated. The real class war is between those that have to work to live and those living off of everyone else’s work.

Moreover, Biden’s student debt relief wasn’t even really a benefiting former students all that much since it was debt they largely couldn’t pay off anyway (obviously), it was really a bailout to the banks issuing predatory loans to a captive market of young people without any money, assets, or any financial education, but with decades of their lives to toil away paying interest forever.

This is just one of the many reasons that the argument the right keeps repeating about all manner of privacy invasions and infringements of rights and due process that “the good ones have nothing to fear” is complete and utter bullshit.

You’re a hypocrite with a whole lot of hate. I hope you get help.

Incapable of abstraction and introspection? Sports is a really weird thing to be a small minded bigot about.

Okay then, I guess you’re okay with idiots ranting the same way about your pronouns.

They wouldn’t be selling it if they didn’t have a market. Just because it doesn’t make sense to you, doesn’t mean that it doesn’t make sense.

Ah yes, the modern day equivalent of recording radio broadcasts to magnetic tape. Made a few mixtapes that way myself. They were absolute garbage quality and I never listen to them anymore, but it was an interesting exercise and my only option for some stuff at the time.

Now I just buy as directly from the artist as I can for things that are rare enough that they are difficult to pirate.

Find an online guide. Print to PDF or save as HTML/ODF/whatever you like. Annotate the document. Now notes and article are searchable. I guess a physical book might have an advantage if the power went out, but at that point you’re going to have other problems implementing the things the book suggests.

Shitting on other people’s lifestyles and the things they like because you don’t like them and don’t understand them seems kind of antithetical to the philosophy of this community as I understand it. No? Would it be appropriate for Americans to start mocking English football and their scarves?
