Well, my friend always has to get me to control his computer through TV7, oh my god, itunes does not like .flac files

@unhipdruid True, iTunes does not support FLAC. The only possibilities are using other formats or using another music player.

@omni Converting anyway

@unhipdruid I wouldn't waste my time on that seeing how terrible iTunes is imho, but you would probably want to convert it to .alac then. Same quality as FLAC, about the same file size but runs in iTunes.

@omni If you want to manage a modern iPod you NEED to use iTunes.

@ceruleanspark What kind of crap did they do THIS time? And why isn't the European government going all anti-trust on Apple yet? >_>

@omni It's all encrypted and classified as a DRM method, so any attempt to reverse engineer it can be DMCA'd away. Also there was an antitrust case, but given that plenty of competition exists in both the MP3 player manufacturing and music distribution space, there's really no grounds.

@ceruleanspark The DMCA needs to die, really. It's one of the worst "anti-piracy" laws we have...
Saturday, 03-Nov-12 14:33:51 UTC from web-
@omni But it's responsible for the decrease in piracy that media execs only acknowledge the existence of when people talk about more permissive copyright law!

Dear Git: Do you really need to have 200MB worth of files? How can I possibly use git to make an easy updater for my crappy WIP game which is pretty much just another game forked and slightly changed? Do I have to use SVN? :(

@omni use bazaar

@omni actually if you just want an updater, use rsync

@toksyuryel I'll check that out. Thanks.

@ceruleanspark there is a site dedicated to apple and hating on the DRM

@ceruleanspark The DMCA is an american law, what's that got to do with the EU? They don't seem to have any problem going after Microsoft again and again for more or less the same thing.

@toksyuryel Apple isn't a monopoly in any of the markets it operates in, and within those markets, is not engaging in illegal anticompetitive behaviour.
