Wasn't Getty responsible for the removal of direct links from Google Images? As always, with stuff like this: doesn't bode well, hope they don't screw it up, but my expectations are low.

Same here. Can't load the page.

This looks great. Would like to see a model with a Zen 3 or ARM processor, as buying Intel hardware in 2021 is a bit of a hard sell for me. Outside of that, anything modular/repairable gets an A+.

Good luck, I'm behind 7 masks

Same reason we're still wearing masks, I'd imagine. It's not necessarily about what is the most effective, it's about increasing the odds. And more than that, it's about what's seen by politicians, their consti

Teams is Skype, but worse. Seriously, it's just reskinned Skype with bolt-ons. You can see "skype" present in the address bar sometimes when you load Teams in a browser. The Teams desktop application (at least on Linux) has r

Sorry, Vivaldi is not meaningfully open-source[0], so this makes it very difficult for me to care about any purported benefits it has to offer. Which is a shame because is seems like it has some nice features, but without checking this very

A desktop for most people is a crutch (plunger) for their disorganized computer (clogged toilet). I think the suggestion that desktops aren't necessary is a good one. Several years ago, I started turning desktop icons off (both GNOME a

Censorship for any reason is disappointing.

This is a nice bit of marketing but... is it real? There's no actual information on the page, no links to any other pages/sites, nowhere to buy it, and no mention of "coming soon" or any sort of expected release date.

Interesting. Makes me want to get my hands on one. Feasible for a hobbyist or no? Tried searching on eBay but didn't get many results.

I'm skeptical about this. Are we talking actual journalists, or "journalists" like people carrying smartphone cameras on the street during a riot?

I've taken to installing Windows Server on personal desktop machines just because Pro is so bad. Server does require initial tweaks to run smoothly on a desktop machine. Some security and telemetry policies need relaxed, audio service

Pinebook Pro user here, trackpad is indeed terrible, I thought the keyboard was great though.

Not to try and invalidate your experiences, but "IRC" doesn't refer to any specific software program. I'd be interested to know which of the dozens of IRC clients you were using that was so horrible. As for sending files

Using a centralized IRC service like IRCCloud is an option, but not one I would opt for personally. There are also other options, ZNC and The Lounge both come to mind. You can self-host these or find an instance hosted by somebody else.

Sorry, I've altered my edit to remove the explicit insinuation of astroturfing. I was just a little shocked when I finished my submission and saw the sameness of all the other comments.

Ah, thanks, that makes much more sense.

There's a lot to be said for low/nonexistent barrier to entry. But like any large platform, such success comes at a price. Discord is privacy-invasive and heavily censored. It is not a viable option for secure communication, but i

I think this is a crass assessment, but if I'm being honest, it was my first instinct too. From the article: > His last words to me that night were 'You will have to write the book.' The irony. If his last words had includ

The point of my comment(s) is expressly that this _isn't_ a breach of morality...

by branon 6y ago
It was my impression that morality regards the beliefs of one person/entity (here, Amazon) while ethics refers to a different/opposing group. So clearly Amazon has no moral scruples about doing what they did, but to us (or others)

Legally no, morally no, ethically yes?
