The real reason for lack of interest is streaming quality of 4k has been getting worse for years, and is still like 1/10th the quality of 4k BluRay, with enormous levels of compression and artifacts.
8k requires 4x the data. We all know that means every subscription would charge at least 2x more to maintain profit margins of unlimited growth for vulture capitalism, and they’d skimp on the extra data too; leaving users with nothing better than the current 4k.
Countries are not run in their best interest. They are run in the best interest of their ultra wealthy.
FYI, there isn’t much difference between this and mandatory encryption backdoors. Both are fundamentally authoritarian… So when your gov’s push for encryption backdoors, they are a domestic enemy en par with Putin and all other dictatorships.
The American nazi party is the only party allowed to act at the behest of foreign powers.
Yes, your confidence in something you apparently know nothing about is apparent.
Have you ever thought that openai, and most xitter influencers, are lying for profit?
You do realise that everyone actually educated in statistical modeling knows that you have no idea what you’re talking about, right?
Most importantly, by using Lemmy you aren’t enriching a techno-fascist platform. They can scrape lemmy the same way they used to scrape reddit, but at least my content does not benefit a greedy little pig boy fascist fucknut.
I already assumed that all project 2025 purges to date have been done with input from statistical modeling, in a way that removes far more “liberals” who might refuse orders, and retains as many MAGA/fascist bootlickers as possible.
They always dramatically inflate losses to justify how bad and mean pirates are.
“Pirates stole 40 million billion trillion schmeckles”
This isn’t democracy. It is capitalist dictatorships terrorising the working class.
Secret police monitoring your every action is incompatible with democracy. It is authoritarian tyranny.
It’s like people who manage their tasks by simply writing them down on paper…
You fucking what!?! How am I supposed to manage hundreds of tasks with a piece of paper… They won’t fit. What if I lose the paper? How do I filter the tasks by location, date, time, or any other context? Your ancient methods are pure insanity to me.
Welcome to the fascist dystopia many of us could see coming decades ago. If you think this is bad, you ain’t seen nothing yet. The Gestapo, KGB — big brother — never had any concept of anything close to 1 millionth as powerful as 2025 surveillance capitalism.
Remember, there is no bottom. No matter how bad things get, they will always surprise you with how much more sadistic and psychopathic they can go.
I don’t care. It’s a corrosive force that causes them to pay for over priced CEO’s and integrate services that nobody cares about into Firefox (like pocket) or that runs against their principles (container VPN’s exclusive to Mozillas for-profit VPN).
It makes a lot more sense when you realize that the Mozilla corporation is a for profit run by the same techno-fascist aggrandizing bait-and-switch narcissists as the rest of SV.
I’ve been saying it for years, but I will never donate to Firefox until it is freed from the shackles of a for profit corporation that can use your donation for any profit motive it sees fit; not even related to Firefox.
It’s a Christian fascist org, so there’s a 100% likelihood of mental illness.
Yeah, storage/bandwidth is the overall limiting factor regardless for 8k. Also, most peoples xp with 4k is streaming, so there would likely be 100x more of a market for increasing bitrate from the current “compressed as all fuck” up to 4k Bluray bitrate, before anyone cares about 8k… but of course, that isn’t something that TV manufacturers can control or use to sell more products.
