And arguably even that is more than they deserve, but ya gotta stay employed somehow.

I’m from the era of the internet where caring about crediting people for fucking memes of all things was treated as unserious as it is.

Man, copyright has broken people’s brains.

Do you have any idea how expensive 40gb was in 2000?

Aqua Teen started airing in 2001 and I was grabbing the first season as it aired.

I couldn’t afford any other solution. I was lucky to afford a video card with s-video out.

And technically since very few people do such things, they are usually fairly obviously not the real details and the faked details end up being unique enough to just dump you into the “hates advertising” ad bucket which just means they try (and often succeed) at marketing to you through other means.

Giving me memories of not having enough hard drive space and using s-video and audio cables to record downloaded episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Sealab 2021 to tape from my computer so I could have more space to download more stuff.

They gotta shill for AI because the goal is total mass surveillance on the general public with total privacy for the rich kiddie fuckers.

Oh and also ginning up fake “evidence” to pin on dissidents.

“What a shame.”

you cant tell me this wasnt on purpose

Major Motoko Kusanagi: “😏 aight then…”

He has an account here on Lemmy somewhere.

They could, you know, just not be so fucking evil maybe and they could save a shitload of money.

GROND!

Glad I’m not the only one who remembered pantyhose in little easter egg containers.

It’s the only thing we are consistently good at anymore and before that the only thing we were good at was Imperialism sugar coated with the trappings of democracy

Possibly, but I tend to think that only happened on reddit due to corporate influence and trying to use that as a way to take a stand against a corporation. I think the same is unlikely to happen on smaller sites, more likely the whole site could be gone. Anyway, counterpoint is MetaFilter, which has been around since 1999 and you can find comments from waaaaaaaaaaay back very easily, it’s all indexed for searching quite well.

(I know they’re not that much better but they’re so much more well supported in Linux it’s absurd. NVIDIA only started getting more support that was focused on AI, which is cool and all, local AI is all right, but no very useful in everyday context.)

Also, btw, you’re the best kind of question asker, because you figured out an obscure problem and then provided the answer for the rest of us. I learned something and bookmarked this thread in case I ever run into such a problem and forgot how to fix it. Cheers and thanks, mate.

Interesting. I have managed all of mine on a recent Kubuntu 26.04 install through the GUI and it does indeed seem to automatically add that information to the XML file, because I have never run into such a problem but when looking at the file you referenced I indeed see the <Merge type="files"/> a lot of places.
