Didn't it ultimately achieve its aim with the creation of Lower Decks?

Honestly I hope it shuts down. This provider caters to racists, fascists, misogynists and the like.

Who gives a fuck? Corporate social media cater to idiots too, just more common varieties.

Why does it matter what Kanye tweets about if I enjoy his music? Why do the politics of my favorite FOSS program's maintainer matter, or what commentary they include in documentation, or the presence/lack of a flag in a social media handle? Why does it matter that a public demonstration I'm at has some fellow demonstraters whose lifestyles/politics I find abhorrent?

All you advertise to the world with this fearful mindset is that your behaviour will change on a dime given the slightest chance of bad optics. It's a rotten way to live life.

Governments and marketers absolutely love people who think like that.

talking points like, "why don't women look feminine aymore," "why are characters designed for diversity/inclusion first before story," "Concord sucks lol."

They're fair observations. Convergent, homogenous graphic design plagues big-budget game production.

Ubi is the sort of mob that could put out a title set in Georgian England and offer a cast that includes among others a queer green-haired ship's captain, a Chinese bailiff and a Rastafarian archbishop. There's a place for getting whimsical with character creation, but done often enough (and across so many genres), it becomes self-satirizing.

My theory is Uncle Sam's fingerprints are on high east coast gas prices. Giving it away for nothing has to put pressure on Russia's LNG export income. The donkeys that head Origin, etc. are on board because they can gouge the home market as compensation, knowing (as part of the deal) that Canberra won't contemplate a reservation policy.

TNG 3x03 The Survivors. Trek works just as well when introspective personal drama gets priority over the science fiction.

You'll find that these professions have a vested interest in maintaining network effects, and as such will view Mast/Blue as threats to their networking infrastructure. They don't want to dilute the importance of the platform their patronage systems rely on (let alone destroy it) - in fact its centrality is why they leverage it to advance their careers. Artists I can see understanding platform agnosticism to some extent, but for the other two groups, it's simply not in their DNA. The gatekeeping is a feature for them.

'The medium is the message' as a Canadian theorist once said.

KDE Plasma 6 reboots on video playback (lemdro.id)

Since about Plasma 6 onward I've been getting system restarts when attempting to play back video files and/or seek through them.

Kernel 6.5.0-41

KDE neon 6

Plasma 6.1.2

Qt 6.7.0

Ryzen 7 3700x CPU

AMD R9 390 GPU

16GB DDR4 RAM

The system will crash and reboot when:

  • Attempting to play any video with an mp4 container (mpv and vlc tested)
  • Attempting to seek with the mouse while playing most videos (mp4 and matroska)
  • Scrolling too fast in a file manager
  • Clicking and dragging to resize various windows (terminal, browsers, etc)

The system performs fine when:

  • Playing videos in a webm container
  • Playing videos in software like avidemux, kdenlive, gwenview, etc.
  • Streaming video in a web browser

The issue has persisted through these toubleshooting measures:

  • Update to latest BIOS firmware
  • Switching between Wayland and X11
  • Substitution of the PSU to a brand new unit

My assumption so far is that it's not hardware related. Currently I suspect it's Plasma. Below is the journal output of records around one such crash time of 5.19-5.20pm:

Suggestions for next steps would be welcome. Is it worth considering a rollback to the previous/older Plasma versions? Assuming Plasma doesn't like my DAC or keyboard or whatever, is it worth substituting or removing USB devices?
