Never because that’s not how trademarks work.

The amount of people in general that don’t understand even the most basic shit about trademarks or how they differ from copyright and often mix up the two is staggering really.
Metal, the anime of music. Currently in a stoner and sludge phase.

I haven’t checked that place out for a while. Looks like there’s a small handful of other roms people have ported to my model so I’ll give them a look over. Might be able to extend the life of this thing for a bit longer. Cheers!
Yeah you vastly over estimate how much I can afford lol. I’ve had this cheap ass piece of shit for almost three years now. I’ll get another cheap ass piece of shit at the end of this year or maybe next. You really gotta make shit last when you’re perpetually broke.
The top of the range phone camera megapixel and ai processing arms race is just pure masturbation.
On most rss readers you can just paste in the url of a youtube channel and it’ll find the rss feed for you, no need to dig about in the code. Worked for me in everything I’ve used over the years.
I only ever buy some cheap shit when my last shit bucket phone starts packing in and hasn’t received a security update in a while. I try to drag it out as long as I can but the budget phone makers seem to be getting more scummy and supporting their phones for shorter periods of time. For the first time in my life I’m getting tempted to buy an apple product.
As to why people buy new every year; from the adverts it all seems to be about more megapixels and ai image processing as phone makers rarely ever seem to boast about anything else anymore, apart from the occasional gimmick. Dunno why anyone needs an extra billion or so megapixels, especially as phone lenses are kinda shit in general.
Lineage isn’t compatible with every phone. My shitty realme has no images there. It always depends on if there’s someone willing to actually make images for specific phones.
Lesson here is to never buy a realme.
You’re surprised that most people use the free option that requires less hassle to get going?
Fuck reddit
TPB has been a cesspit for years now.
Well I got most of that from reading the Askhistorians subreddit over the years. Dunno if you know about it but it’s a heavily moderated board where the answers have to be in depth and represent recent academical standards. Tons of good shit there. I hope they migrate over to lemmy or kbin soon, I don’t really feel like searching for posts that cover the library there but you should be able to find them easily.

Oh right, lol. Sorry for the big post then. I’m autistic and some things go completely over my head. I’m also prone to rambling on a lot as you might have noticed.
The burning of the library of alexandria causing a loss of a ton of knowledge is basically just a modern meme. Well it has been a bit of a myth for a few centuries but Carl Sagan popularised it in Cosmos and he was quite wrong
There were a ton of libraries all around the classical world, basically every town had one. Alexandria was one of the biggest and most prestigious but you had other huge libraries as well such as the Library of Pergamon which rivalled Alexandria. Also book/scroll collecting was quite popular amongst the upper classes so there would’ve been tons of personal libraries around. Granted they weren’t on the scale of alexandria but when you have libraries in every town, personal collections and then some big libraries that matched Alexandria, not much at all would’ve been unique to just alexandria so there wasn’t much knowledge lost at all, if any.
Plus there’s the fact that there wasn’t even a single ‘burning of alexandria’, there were multiple events over it’s history. There was the big fire with Caesar and it’s agreed a ton of stuff was burnt but they restocked with copies from other libraries and carried on. There’s records of it still in operation in the 3rd century. But before all that the library had been in decline for at least a hundred years anyway as the later Ptolemies didn’t bother providing adequate funding and the library was mismanaged for quite a while with the position of head librarian becoming quite politicised.
What caused the loss of a ton of classical works is the fact that papyrus is pretty shit for preservation as outside of the most dry and arid places it’ll just rot away to after 50-100 years in most conditions.
What classical writings we do have that survives is mostly the result of whatever shit people in medieval times thought was worth copying and recopying over the centuries, recovering palimpsests and the rare actual preserved papyrus finds such as the library of scrolls preserved in Herculaneum. And what we’ve lost is down to two millennia of entropy rather than caesar or Christians burning down a library.
That’s the proper name of it. The Ukraine isn’t the proper name of Ukraine.
