I don't disagree with you, but legally purchasing the intellectual property rights to a work, and the proceeding to hide it from the public is still censorship in my book. It might not be quite as wrong or bad as, say, state-sponsored

Former kid here, one of the toys my parents provided me with early on was Snap Circuits: https://www.elenco.com/brand/snap-circuits/ Not strictly programming-related per se, but they were a very educational toy. M

Your comment reads the same way to me that I suppose vaccine misinformation, Russian propaganda, or QAnon conspiracies must sound to you. Yes, the videos are amateur and I highly doubt the guy is credentialed in psychology. But they are not

You can send SMS through the [Signal] app?! Been using it for a few weeks now but haven't figured this out. Or do you mean send SMS through the stock SMS app?

Very long and very detailed, and a lot of fun to read. Closest thing to a conclusion I found was the notion that the devices are quite different from one another. They seek to accomplish the same basic goal, but cater to different groups. T

Screw it, just pull in the entire default repo and call it a day. With how cheap disk space is now, I wonder how infeasible this would actually be. How much disk and bandwidth would this take for, say, Ubuntu, or Arch, or Arch plus the AUR?

It's seriously embarrassing and terrible. Anybody who uploads a $4.99 "Firefox user guide" to the Microsoft Store should be banned for life before the app even hits prod. Microsoft should require a sufficient barrier to entry

The collective obsession with TikTok is very strange and cult-like. This event has nothing to do with TikTok. Hand signals are not new and any medium of communication can be used to propagate their meaning. TikTok is certainly not the only

Yeah at first glance this service's rollout seems terrible. You are dogged all through the checkout process with dark patterns and threats that your device will cost more while doing less if you don't subscribe... why would I buy

The judge's notion that the saline solution acquiring heat from the defendant's cellar equates to production/transportation of energy seems wrong to me. Heat is not a desirable form of energy in this context, it's either

What Android version do you run on your J7? My J7 is stuck on Android 6 and can't install Termux. It doesn't get OTA and I'm not sure how to update it.

It's a random Amazon customer. This is HN. You and I know that GNU/Linux distros can pass Secure Boot just fine, but someone else may not know, or it may simply be more convenient for them to disable Secure Boot prior to installat

Or go to jail, escape from jail, steal your equipment back, and assassinate a few guards on the way out. Yeah, going to prison in video games can be quite fun and dynamic to the point where the scenario is replayable. Helps that there'

I don't disbelieve you, nor am I attempting to invalidate your experiences. Just trying to express that as valid as your experiences are, equally valid is the fact that the issues you experienced are no longer present.

Latest would be Zen 3 or Ryzen 3000 series. I've got Zen 2 chips, Ryzen 2000 series, same as you. yesco's comment above yours is probably useful here - I can definitely believe there were some issues with Ryzen when it first came

Any source on this claim? Care to elaborate with any specifics? I have not ever heard of any issues with Linux on Zen architectures, nor have I experienced any on either of my Zen 2 machines.

But do you _really_ own all of your media when Plex, a proprietary black box, is acting as gatekeeper, and requires authentication with a Plex, Inc. account to gain access? My biases are clear, just food for thought.

Possibly related: anyone got a link to where I can buy a power-only (microUSB|UCB-C|Lightning) cable with data leads removed? Searching Amazon for something like this doesn't appear to be a useful exercise.
