>But sitting there, quietly powering masses of the internet, without saying boo to a goose, is FreeBSD. And the companies using it? They’re not talking about it. Why? Because they don’t have to. The simple fact that dawned on me is FreeBSD’s gift to us all, yet Achilles heel to itself, is its license.
>Unlike the GPL, which requires you to share derivative works, the BSD license doesn’t. You can take FreeBSD code, build on it, and never give anything back. This makes it a great foundation for products — but it also means there’s little reason for companies to return their contributions.

A few of you may have discovered today that thumbnails suddenly stopped loading in Firefox. I did.
Checking the browser console, I found errors for each thumbnail in the catalog which said "A resource is blocked by OpaqueResponseBlocking, please check browser console for details."
After disabling browser.opaqueResponseBlocking in about:config, those error messages turned into 403's and the images would still not load.
I did a desuarchive search for Firefox and found a post in /trash/ saying "I figured it out. 4chan is now asking for referrers when requesting images from 4cdn... TL:DR; 4chan wants to know where you were before loading an image." along with a screenshot of all about:config settings with the word "referer" in them.
With the help of that screenshot, I pinpointed the issue to network.http.referer.XOriginPolicy in about:config, which I had set to 2 for whatever reason, I don't know. Setting it to 0 fixed the problem.
Most of you on Firefox probably won't experience this since 0 is the default setting.
So, for those of you also experiencing this issue, there's the fix, and now the fix is on desuarchive for others to find.
Feel free to discuss the technological/privacy ramifications of this change by 4chan, or if the /trash/ poster's analysis is correct.

What sort of event could spark such an outrage? It would have to be something like microsoft copilot blowing up a nuclear reactor. I don't see people in real life taking strong anti-AI positions, I see them reluctantly accepting their note taking app pestering them with AI suggestions. It's an annoyance on the same level as ads in the start menu but people lied down and took that so I don't see this being any different.
>>
>>107679477
Could be anything ranging from a celebrity disliking it, a political figure they hate championing it, respected low level careers being taken and yeah, blowing up a nuclear reactor would work too
Events that blow up are completely random. Going back to George, apparently about 600 black people are killed by cops per year yet George is the one that blew up for some reason. I cannot predict the spark but my intuition tells me its possible

I'm trying to figure out why I would waste $200 on a 15yo boat anchor on with 50% of its parts on the edge of failure, when I can get something infinitely superior by every objective metric for the same money.

>>107679362
To steel man his position, if you really need 1tb+ of local storage, this isn't so easy to get along with a decent used, new laptop for ~$200 unless you'll settle for random eBay HDDs. But you won't find a 1tb 2.5" SSD for $50 as in image either. I'm still using an upgraded t440p so I sympathize with the idea but it's easy to not know the "meta" of best used laptop value, it feels like t440ps are now worth less than a hundred bucks where they were worth $200 a year or two ago. T480s used to be closer to $400. Etc. it changes with time

I legitimately can not discern the difference between 128kbps audio and anything higher bitrate. For years I've seen anons argue about 320kbps, FLAC, WAV, and so forth. But honest to God, the difference to my ears is near imperceptible. I listen to headphones for 8+ hours every day, and even I can't tell the difference. Sure my equipment is not top-tier, but I doubt that explains it.

For my favorite music, I can just about tell the difference between 128kbps and 320kbps. Like if I really try hard. But anything above that.. forget it. I really feel people are lying when they claim they are able to hear nuances beyond 320kbps. I believe higher than 320kbps is hardcore placebo-tier and people who hoard FLACs are raping their limited storage capacity for no reason.

What do you think? Is the audiophile culture plagued by lying cocksuckers, or do some people have golden ears?

It’s not really about the sound. It’s that it gives me peace of mind knowing I have my music in the best format possible and keeping anything else just feels redundant. Plus I’m not a poorfag so storage isn’t that much of a concern. Hell I'd even keep my music in .wav format if they were readily available

>its not impractical its trivial to do and most people would appreciate just talking to people in their own town
It is trivial to do, and it sounds good on paper, but come on. Something this trivial has been attempted before. People have making "the alternative Facebook" thousands of times, and you never heard about it because nobody actually used or appreciated it.
Facebook using normies just use the "[town] Facebook Group" page. They're not looking to sign up for something else. And people like me, who never used Facebook, are never going to use your alternative because people like us never liked the idea of that kind of social media to begin with.
I'm already on Element/Matrix instead of Discord, I don't use Google for anything, and I of course don't use Microsoft products. Unfortunately these alternatives only appeal to tech nerds, and so they're completely useless for communicating with your normie friends and family.
