Are they still using LBRY? Or did they switch to a different protocol?

Most open source projects rely on volunteers, and few technical writers volunteer.

They're defederated from virtually everyone. They may as well just use phpbb at this point.

Buy better quality bulbs with drivers that don't burn out.

Where can you buy those? No clue now, the one guy I knew making good ones got arrested.

Yup, kernel level "anti-cheat" is a rootkit spyware that "pinky swears" it's only spying for a good reason.

One of the biggest rules in IT is always have a backup.

A cashless society has no backup.

That isn't what they're saying.

Renaming would be disruptive, while replacement names could one day be seen as offensive

They're saying if we rename the Hitler beetle the Bob Ross beetle, it could one day come out that Bob Ross committed genocide or something, so then they have to rename it again.

I'm not saying that's a good reason, but it's a slightly better one.

An algorithm is never to blame, some pencil necked desk jockey decided the criteria to get help that was used to create the algorithm, the blame is entirely on them.

That said, I doubt it would make any difference if a human was in the loop. An algorithm is still al algorithm, even if it's applied by a human. We usually just call that a "policy" though. People have been murdered by the paper sea for decades before we started calling it "algorithms".
