Because it makes the people at the top more powerful.

He’s not sorry he did it, he’s just sorry he got caught.

I really appreciate all of your positive posts. It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to check the feed.

Just because other sectors/industries use more doesn’t mean what AI data centers use isn’t a horrible waste of a limited resource we need to survive.

Yes, in this case helping was clearly right. All I’m against is the belief that you should always offer help. In many cases (not all, or even most), that just makes you a mark. Though if you personally would rather risk getting taken advantage of than risk denying someone in genuine need help, that’s up to you.

You’re right. In this case, it’s easy to see that helping was the right thing to do. There are many possible scenarios where offering help is good. There are also many situations where offering help makes you a mark, or, in the worst case, threatens the safety of yourself or people you care about. That’s why I say it’s highly situational. Many variables to take into account.

I’ve run into too many scams for this to work for me. It’s highly situational. If I can verify that they genuinely are in need of help, I’m all for it. But if a random person walks up to me and says they need money for a train ticket/gas/whatever? Nope.

When I look at the settings and the wiki, it says passthrough still won’t work with DTS-HD or Atmos:

Note: PulseAudio does not currently allow TrueHD or DTS-MA passthrough, this is a PulseAudio limitation and not a limitation of the Kodi implementation, in order to get 7.1 audio Multichannel Mode must be used

I’m pretty sure bitstreaming Dolby Atmos/TrueHD or DTS X/HDMA doesn’t work from Linux. So if you’re using an AV receiver with a surround sound system, you may still want to stick with Microslop. I’d be ecstatic if I was wrong about this, so if I am, someone, please correct me.
