That's easily among some of the most disgusting things you could threaten someone with.

This seems illogical. This boils everything down to brains, and discards the human individual, and how different human individuals react differently to the same things depending on their pre-existing understandings of their worlds. So this

The thing is, they're still responsible for cutting down the Amazon. The "responding to demand" is a complete cop-out. Stop blaming the consumer for the actions of the greedy. I wouldn't be surprised if the consumer very

Tencent, for all intents and purposes, IS the CCP. They must act according to the CCP's dictates.

Twitter is the complete opposite of "the free press". Twitter's admins arbitrarily remove content that they disagree with, while allowing content they do agree with, regardless of whether said content is illegal or not.

I wonder how much Andrew Lee paid Fosshost to pull this dirty stunt.

lmao, what a amazingly shitty hot take... Your "average" Linux distro isn't "buggy" as you claim. You sound like someone who either hasn't used Linux, or extrapolates their experiences from one specific distro,

Let's see... crypto-miners hoarding GPUs by the tens, hundreds, even, driving up GPU prices for the non-miner. Also, when the cycle busts, hoards of cheap, abused mining cards flood the second-hand market, making it difficult for compa

This is far from true, lmao. It's only tightly coupled to depending on the Linux kernel. systemd was in fact heavily inspired by MacOS's launchd. At worst, it can be said that complex boot managers will begin to converge on a desi

It's a case of developer UI. Has nothing to being "allergic" to "good UI design". Being able to design something friendly to the average user, yet powerful enough to be friendly to power users, is a very difficult t

Hardly. Mimicking a UI doesn't make something "literally" that. Also, stop using "literally" when you don't literally mean that.

They probably don't cover stuff like this just yet. If it's even possible to block... One of Google's aims has been to make Adblockers useless. Think Manifest V3, which would originally enforce a static filter list with only

It's because there was some overlap in their functionality. What I did was disable the overlapping functionality in uBlock Origin, and let uMatrix handle the rest.

One could almost hazard a guess that Google has people inside Mozilla deliberately sabotaging the browser, to drive people to Chrome, while keeping Firefox around for the sole purpose of avoiding anti-trust lawsuits...

No, it's not. A unit test is there to allow the developers to test whether the program is producing expected output from certain inputs. It doesn't demonstrate that it's intended for circumventing copyright. They just picked

Why not post the actual source, rather than some second-hand clickbait? "Characteristic patterns of EEG oscillations in sheep (Ovis aries) induced by ketamine may explain the psychotropic effects seen in humans" https:/&#x2F

It's part of the systemd project umbrella? It's part of the systemd monorepo? It uses libsystemd? Maybe it's simply easier to maintain this way? elogind exists, if you care. It exposes the DBus interfaces that logind supports

What apps depend on a specific init system? Gnome does not depend on systemd, but rather logind. KDE used to be the same, until someone started maintaining ConsoleKit2 again, proper, at which point they were happy to support it. ConsoleKit

Portable to other systemd-using Linux distros. sysv init scripts simply weren't portable between distros, leading to tons of non-standard, incompatible fragmentation. Users simply couldn't simply take their own scripts over to ano

This was based on a misconception that was later debunked. DMT is not known to be produced by the human brain. And even if it were... the large amounts of monoamine oxidase naturally present in the blood would all too quickly break it all d
