Even the police unions are against cops (aside for a small number of specialists) carrying guns. Fun fact: you can own guns in the UK and recreation is a valid reason. Most people simply don't want to, unlike the odd obsessions America

But would they sell to Russia/China which is in opposition to their biggest sponsor - the USA? The answer is obviously: if they can get away with it. Personally it seems more likely to be US but that's just a gut feeling.

Hardly reprehensible. Not a very "professional thing sure, I wouldn't trust a browser made by someone who puts porn in the source but its not like its a moral failing for what seems to be someone's side project Edit: I see th

They are not harmed, it just that billion dollar companies are taking volunteers hard work to get even richer and refusing to contribute back. Now, the guys developing BSD obviously don't mind but many people do care.

Hell, even library type software could be licensed under "weak" copyleft license such as LGPL.

Yeah, I'm not a fan of the rust ecosystem trying to move everything from FSF-style free/libre licenses to permissive licenses.

What do you mean a risc-v kernel? One written in RISC v assembly? Because that would be terrible. Risc-v is the instruction set architecture, rust is a programming language. You can port languages to target ISAs. Linux can already run in ri

You are judgy aren't you. What's wrong with never moving out of your home city? Your friends moving away is generally not considered a good thing... Also this is clearly just a snalr post that you're reading too much into, th

Err, if your friends don't want to chat with you, I don't think there's much you can do. Maybe they're just busy? Or maybe you'd be better off doing other activities with them (multiplayer games etc) if you want to

See, I actuall disagree, o think it should be a set time, regardless of authors death and inheritable. I think there would be a lot of things not made near the end of the creators life if they didn't think their family would be support

Not the person you relied too, but it should primarily be the manufacturers fault for pushing a dangerous update without adequate testing. However, if say, the new behaviour got in the news and the owner didn't update to the latest, sa

How do you feel about the lengths of copyright? Do you feel the current length (life + 70 years) is too much/too little/ just right? Personally, as much as I hate the concept of copyright, I do still want artists (I include author

Everyone is a free speech absolutist until they're the one targeted. Everyone loves cops until it's their rights being violated... These sorts of arguments can be made in either direction.

Which environmental activists are saying that? That's a pretty specific claim.

heads up, I think Decentraleyes has been superseded by a "LocalCDN", it's more frequently updated and I thing Decentraleyes has bee abandoned by the devs.

I'm hardly contemptuous. If I had a higher opinion of asterisk, I would still assume it's an error as that's exactly what it looks like. Also, do you google the title of every article you read? Why would you say this as if

except in this case, the attackers figured it out ages ago and everyone else was left in the dark. The issue with obscurity is that attackers inherintly have a far higher incentive to try and understand obfuscated, undocumented messes than

reception is a play on words, in an actual wedding it would mean the that the attendees had a good reaction. In the sense that the newly weds are satellites, the reception can also refer to radio signal reception.

Did you know that the Five Eyes alliance (which the US is apart of), has been noted to spy on foreigners and pass the data to their governments to bypass laws around spying on their own citizens? These things cut both ways, foucault's

Often when I see people advocating for small government, they mostly mean cutting things that they don't use. It's always about cutting welfare, or ending this or that subsidy. Why does (in my country at least) it seem that the &q

"Do you agree with me or are you a fascist?" Come on, you're being unfair. "strong government" can mean many things, strong regulation in the e.g. gambling industry is something a strong goverment does but that does

Saying it's the "elites" who care is a thought terminating cliche designed to make you not think about how the rest of us (Commoners?) feel. Are the small hobbyist artists the elite? The programmers angry about the use of the

I'm not sure I can trust a magazine that has a grammatical error in title of an article on the front page.* Now this doesn't say anything about the quality of the article itself (who doesn't make silly mistakes) but it does s

Don't forget the anti-asian racism implicit to the belief that soy, a food eaten widely in asia, makes you weak and feminine (whatever that means). The backlash to soy is inextricably tied to old stereotypes of asians as weak and docil
