The items in the readme all read as warnings and disclaimers, not as enforceable terms of the license agreement. It's basically saying everything you do with this is solely at your own risk, and if you use it in production, any liabil

The key here is that it always included "IBM" in some way. "IBM-compatible" or "IBM PC", or "IBM clone" or something along those lines. "PC" without reference to IBM was not specifically t

I recently saw a new burger joint pop up on Uber Eats with an address not far from my home. It turned out to be the address of the last remaining Ruby Tuesday restaurant in my area, but the burger place did not advertise any connection to

There's no such thing as "the will of the people", though -- "the people" is a loose aggregation of lots of different individuals, communities and factions that are not uniformly aligned in their interests and val

This is a fairly recent usage. Back in the day, the term was "IBM-compatible", then later, "Wintel". It wasn't common to treat the term "PC" as being exclusive of Apple hardware until Apple's "

It's not clear to me how anything you're talking about relates to my previous comment. Could you attempt to make your point more explicitly?

I feel like I'm using pretty clear qualifiers to distinguish actual tribes from what Kurt Vonnegut would call granfaloons . The point is that equating these ideologically polarized aggregations of strangers with tribalism is a huge st

You can't say "other way" when you're comparing to something that isn't a way in the first place. Climate change absolutely is a technical problem and not a political one. It's about the cause and effect pat

Yup, it's pretty great. It's worth noting, though, that ytdl can output video content to stdout, so it is possible to stream video by piping to any player, although mpv's method is much more convenient. Sometimes it is necess

I usually just extract the raw Opus audio, then run it through Picard to tag and save it in my music directory. I don't see any point in converting to MP3 these days -- Opus provides better audio quality at the same bitrate (or, equiv
