And this will end college sports as we know them, which is unequivocally a bad thing. I know people here are rooting for this, but this will end all sports departments outside of a super league and end the US dominance in most Olympic sports.

I’m still of the opinion that scholarships are payment enough for playing.

A minor league won’t work in the US. It doesn’t work for any other sports here either. The NBA/MLB minor leagues provide no reason to watch the product, and nobody does. College sports are unique in that people will root for historically terrible teams because they have a connection to the team.

That’s what I think too. It’s either that or just wanting to race in Red for a year or two before retirement.

I think we’ll know pretty quickly if the Merc is a shitbox next year, which will explain a lot.

All valid points.

Whatever it is, I’m having the best time gaming I’ve had in years with it, and at a $20 price point, I’m well happy to have bought it.

I have to imagine the W15 is going to be a shitbox. He’s gotta have some reason to be jumping ship, when it was previously thought he’d retire at Mercedes.

I’m gonna guess it’s a massive bag. And he’s got enough money anyways that he probably doesn’t care too much.

It’s certainly not well made, as it’s buggy as hell, but it is fun, and that’s been missing from a lot of games recently.

I’m playing exclusively in a multiplayer world with my brothers, and we’re having a blast. If I was playing alone it’d probably be less fun tbh.

You’re not wrong. Of course they don’t want any new entries. It doesn’t matter if it’s Andretti, Toyota, Porsche or anyone else. The pie doesn’t get bigger, it gets distributed to everyone equally, which means they’re getting less money for every new team added.

None of these teams are going to vote against their own interests. There’s no incentive to allowing new teams (to them), everything about it is a negative for the teams already in place.

Albon could be a good choice. If they can get him from Williams I’m convinced he could fight at the pointy end of the grid.

Sainz won’t ever get the RB seat. Jos and Sainz Sr caused a lot of problems when they were both at TR, leading to Sainz leaving the RBDA

I’ve tried that a few times. It requires booting into windows first, then shutting down and rebooting to Linux or passing it through a WindowsVM to start it and then reassigning it to the main OS.

It just got to be too much of a headache they it wasn’t worth staying on linux.

This is the problem people have

They don’t see artists and creators as worth protecting. They’d rather screw over every small creator and take away control of their works, just because “it’d be hard to train without copyrighted data”

Plenty of creators would opt in if given the option, but I’m going to guess a large portion will not.

I don’t want my works training what will replace me, and right now copyright is the only way we can defend what was made.

Not all Audio interfaces work. I use a GoXLR and I can’t get any output from Linux to my audio setup. Can’t read the microphone either.

Not all products work as easily as you say.
