Okay it's not The Onion, but it is the Daily Mail.
If you meant to communicate something by that, I think you need more practice at this telecommunications thing.
I'm just saying the divide between the two isn't so clear, and things are still evolving. Things aren't so clear for the CRTC either:
the Commission will continue to consult on the role and importance of online undertakings that broadcast user-generated content, along with the underlying question of how to define terms such as “social media service.”
It's not just minor (or major, such as the limits of electromagnetic spectrum) technical differences. The streaming services — unlike cable TV — are not serving the main function that traditional television broadcasts did. There is no "channel 4" to tune in to any more. Not in this household anyway, they cut off the broadcast signals that used to reach here many years ago. Some of the big streaming services do live streams, in which case they're getting a little closer to traditional broadcaster territory in terms of their function, but for the most part it's video on demand which is clearly different.
Some more different than others of course. The average youtube video probably gets about zero views. Even videos pretty near the top of the popularity charts might usually have at most one person watching at any given time. How is that anything like broadcasting?
I think they ought to be treated more like social media companies. Twitter does video, is it a broadcaster? Whatever it is, it poses problems for us that are more like those of the streaming services.
Sucks if you're in France. For the rest of us it should be interesting to see which of these VPN providers choose to comply by geo-blocking France, which choose to cut any ties they have with France and otherwise ignore the order, and which to abandon their mission and become agents of censorship on behalf of France.
By the way, don't forget to make a good backup before you start messing with backup scripts. Also, if the reason you're keeping twelve different backups is to see how things changed over time, put it in git instead.
I was going to give some suggestions, but it's easiest to say it like this:
if ( ! test -d ~/Backups ) ; then exit; fi
cd ~/Backups
count=`ls -d Main-* | wc -l`
if [ count -gt 11] ; then
rm -rf `ls -rtd Main-* | head -$((count - 11))`
fi
rsync -aL ~/Main Main-`date -Ihours`
You'd run something like that every six hours. Don't expect it to work, but maybe it could help get you started.
Yeah, time is like that. It's easy to forget that we collectively blundered into this trap more than a hundred ago.
The Vienna horror-slaughter referred to is this one I guess.
Yeah, yeah. You're obviously not a real voice in my head, you're just a machine pretending to be one.
In that case, request a refund and just forget about the game. It's that little bit worse for the publisher who chose Denuvo.
