The promise of privatization of the Telekom was higher speeds and lower prices. The opposite of that happened. This country is now far behind many comparable countries in Internet speed and penetration. And the state, in selling the Telekom

I had some luck with a .de domain of my name that was being squatted. There are some judgements in Germany that say you have a special right to the domain with your name, and it's not just first come first serve. I don't remember

Let me save you the read. No. The federated standardized asynchronous instantaneous digital communication protocol was not a mistake.

I don't know. But I've had the problem described above with a linux with swap enabled.

Fair enough. I had just read the introduction, and the section headlines. I'm glad to see him agree on the importance of regulated utilities. Free Software sometimes gets associated with the American Capitalist Libertarian movement. So

Stallman's biggest problem, in my opinion, is that all his proposed solutions are individual consumption choices. A beast like Amazon can only be tamed by collective action and regulation.

I've been living in denial about this being a linux specific issue until I saw this post. Eventhough I encounter this problem frequently on linux and it has almost never happened to me on OSX or Windows, I've just been telling mys

I think Clinton (by losing) and Trump (by winning) demonstrated that Centrism is not what wins you elections.

I am sure that is the goal, on some level. But it is not good at that goal.

That is just wrong. The amount of product placement in Netflix original content is staggering.

I actually just discovered AVIF from the related links in this submission. Firefox planning to support it sounds promising.

Big fan of vector graphics. I convert every person to inkscape I can. This is Mac exclusive so I won't be able to use it, but what I'm seeing looks really nice. Great work.

I have come across the bystander effect often enough in popular culture, that I would say a very significant amount of people is aware of the concept, even if they might not remember its specific name.

Once again, a popular site that is completely GDPR non-complient. To opt out of tracking you have to go through six layers of obfuscation. And don't take the wrong turn, or you will just come to walls of text, meant to do nothing but m

It really shouldn't. It will never be able to accomodate every possible case. There is a reason why stories about drones going around and enforcing the law like a programming language is considered a dystopic setting.

Exactly my thought as well. Office politics will always be a thing, and your methodology better acomodate to it.

Is this scraping or accessing the actual API? I know DDG has some limitations to what it will give throught its official api with how it partially licenses its search results.

You are trying to defend Microsoft from these stories. But "Microsoft eats humble pie on OSS" is exactly the narrative they want out there. It gives them the cover they want to embrace extend extinguish Linux and other major open

According to that paragraph, not having a comment section, falls under the definition of Orwellian.

From the Firefox add-on page: > Many websites don't allow user comments, or disable comments after a certain period of time. comntr bypasses these Orwellian restrictions by allowing anyone to leave a comment on any website, as well

Of course that is what they will say to your face. What are they going to do? Say "haha, screw all of you!"? Doesn't change the fact that what they are lobbying for is an entirely different thing. Edit: Does HN deny that peop

Ah, I see. Makes sense when you know it. Explaining it would solve the problem for me. Can't win a game I don't know the rules to, you know.

Not sure the warmer, colder thing works. Shouldn't 5, for example, have been colder, in this example? https://i.imgur.com/AiKIuDC.png

Video games are more media than they are software. Sadly their format is software but their release is media. Old games aren't actively supported and won't be updated. You need to ensure some kind of compatibility with 32 bit soft

And this is why regulation needs to remain at least an option. Self-regulation won't happen unless it is to avoid potential regulation.

The article takes a while to get to the point made in the title but the way to counteract this seems to be, get the infrastructure for open source out of America before it's too late. In contrast to the ARM example, the US doesn't
