All of these sorts of laws are designed to do two things:
Destroy privacy
Destroy Free Software (because inevitable end result will be enforcement via DRM, obviously)
That’s why it’s vitally important to stand united against them, and bootlicking class traitors like Lennart Poettering need to be bitch-slapped into either standing with us or fucking off out of Linux development entirely.
No, to enable (in the addiction sense) the greed of others. Not “satisfy.” Because it can never be satisfied: they will take and take and take and take until there is nothing left, and still demand more.
If you don’t think mudding and taping drywall is more difficult than it seems, I’m impressed (and a little disbelieving).
Copyright infringement is committed by the provider, not the receiver. If you’re just an end-user of the content, they can’t really go after you unless you acquired it via a peer-to-peer network and also seeded it to others. (And they have, in fact, infamously gone after people for that.)
It’s also a joke about how very subtle actions count as signaling a bid. Never been to a horse auction so I don’t know how true that is IRL, but it’s a trope in media.
I play Grim Fandango on a Ryzen 3 laptop with 4Gb Ram
Grim Fandango Remastered, right? 'Cause it’s not exactly impressive if its the original, give-or-take WINE maintaining compatibility with old Win9x libraries…
I’ve been meaning to get around to playing that game for almost 30 years, and the remastered version for 10.
If I had that sort of threat model and let the government get their hands on my computer, I would never trust the hardware again. Too many components with their own SoCs containing firmware blobs where an exploit could lurk and reinfect even after a ‘nuke.’ GPUs, disk controllers, WiFi chips, etc.
Merging all the feature branches in time is easy.
Having the project compile afterwards is hard.
Never trust a tech worker, they decided long ago to sell out the species and the planet.
The ironic thing is, the tech industry started out from hippie counterculture. Fucking tech-bro business major types ruined it.
Customizing the look, feel, interaction of elements, and general mechanics, seems like a toooon of effort. (It kinda seems like you’re not supposed to customize it.)
Holy shit, he figured it out!
So yeah, it turns out that platform human interface guidelines are a thing, and for good reason.
When all you have is a hammer JavaScript, everything looks like a nail web page.
Kids these days don’t bother learning languages that actually compile to native apps.
When your Makefile is so fucked up that you have to run it multiple times to get everything to build and link properly.
Then you’ve won the dimensional jackpot and you should immediately start trying to thwart any misguided attempts from folks in your original dimension to “rescue” you.
Housecats, not khajit. Y’all are smarter and uglier before Skyrim at least
What part of “all policy should bend to serve this goal” did you not understand? We’re not done 'til we have $40 hypersonic suborbital flights, and if it takes a greater than Manhattan Project or Apollo level of effort to get there then, damn it, that’s what we’ll have to do!
Sampling bias from the fact that you’re reading posts written in English, not Mandarin.
(By the way, I’m actually not as concerned with Chinese companies collecting my data as I am with American companies doing it, precisely because China doesn’t have jurisdiction over me, while the US does. Similarly, I would expect Chinese people to be more afraid of Chinese data collection than they are of US data collection.)
Shifter and Oh the Urbanity! are on https://video.canadiancivil.com/ . They are both fairly well-known Canadian Youtubers making videos about biking and urbanism.
At least while we’re still able to
sideloadinstall normally… 😔
FTFY. Being restricted to a manufacturer’s ‘approved’ list of apps is not normal, and should be called “cuckinstalling” or something similarly pathetic and offensive.
WTF are you talking about? First of all, nobody said anything about death threats or pizza deliveries, and second, Poettering is not a “volunteer.” He’s spent his career getting paid by Red Hat and then Microsoft to make Linux more corporate-friendly.
