Maybe 1:100 of those (being incredibly generous) are actually unique posts and not someone else reposting something from someone else, so maybe it's not such a hard task...

So I can overlook the misdemeanor pocketing of a few bucks with the intent on giving it back, but you basically admit and brag about breaking the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act as some kind of exercise of how clever you are for doing a dict

Go with me here, what if instead of paying into a crowdfunding campaign, these people paid into a central pool of money, and then when they had exceptional health care costs, they could dip into this pool and pay off their bill? Imagine wha

Damn that Green energy lobby. Trying to save their constituents from the damages of climate change. Those miserable bastards.

maybe the European Union. The DOJ has clearly given up the ghost of even attempting to regulate US companies, and the current political news is just more evidence in that direction. Google can draw out these lawsuits for decades while c

Google's apparent quest is to make it so that the web only really works with Chrome anyways. I doubt they honestly see Firefox as a threat enough not to take this blatantly obvious next course of action. Chrome was, and has always be

It's worked for PayPal for years ... Google will find you a hundred examples of PP deciding to freeze accounts and the funds going up in smoke.

I'm not giving up, I'm stating the facts of the case. If you've actually got a concrete proposal on something that will actually shift the agenda of this agency, I'm 100% all ears. I suspect I'll be waiting a while

It honestly doesn't matter. Nobody at the FCC is going to read these things - it's there because it has to be there, not because they intend on listening. They've set their agenda, now they're executing it. They have abs

Yeah, it sure would be a shame if all of those American companies everyone else in the world depends on were suddenly out of business because they couldn't afford the extortion fees charged by whichever ISP wants to clone their service

It looks like someone saw SourceForge and thought "You know what would be great, if I could host my project on SourceForge, but have to deal with all of the admin myself too!" If the infrastructure underneath is solid, it might be

From what I recall, Skia's not an API stable library - it's seen more as an implementation detail of Chrome/Android - so adopting it as a Google outsider is... not easy.

cairo is a hard dependency of GNOME, but it's not really a GNOME project, and it currently is pretty lacking in maintainership since Google hired up practically all of the maintainers to work on Skia/Chrome. You might want to try

I don't really have many issues with bug management on GNOME (that pain really goes to the bigger multi-module maintainers and the reassigning of bugs to the right places in the stacks), but for code review I'd probably just repla

Not convinced GitLab is the solution, but I'm definitely convinced GitHub isn't . Not as active in GNOME these days, so my vote is not really a vote... but I do have my own reservations about both "Git-Wrapped" solution

Intel binned that product line a while back; the "ARM GPU" you're thinking of is actually a PowerVR design that Intel licensed to use on the Poulsbo Atom chips. It was a complete unmitigated disaster. The GPU was slow and had

And that's fine... as long as you don't connect them to the network and expect them to interact with other clients. And that's often the case for these standalone machines and tools. The problem we're having in the real

The question is how much of it should be automated that isn't already. It's not like they're building 737s and A321s for everyone - at some point, human labor just makes better business sense, though I admit I have no idea wh
