The waters are already muddy. Remember that we are discussing this in the context of censoring speech, "are there plausible stories" can't be the deciding factor in that.

I have scripts that rely on connecting to PostgreSQL via a UNIX socket, I couldn't use these scripts on WSL. A workaround wouldn't be too hard, but ideally WSL should be 100% Linux-compatible in my opinion.

It might be because it's searching using the IMAP server, for some reason those can't often deal with non-ASCII characters. Searching with diacritics seems to work for me in locally-downloaded folders.

If standalone email clients really are dead for the average user, that to me would suggest Thunderbird should focus on power-users and/or corporate deployments, not that it should shift its focus to being part of yet another "serv

Eh, I'm not convinced. This might be nice for a static hierarchy of not too many office documents, but for the very heterogenous files I deal with, I'm happy with the first level of division being a "project". There are

They perfectly demonstrate the disadvantages of private forks. They don't get security fixes, other bugfixes, or new features that userspace software will eventually use.

Thanks, I already tried that. It does give an (easily missed) error from the underlying library there, but it's just some number that some other people are also complaining about on support forums. If you have any other insights, I&#x2

Large binaries is one thing where the new release of Ghidra is significantly better. I've been building from master for months, because large binaries (100MB or more) take low tens of minutes, not hours, with the improvements.

I haven't had to deal with any of that, but I've had Windows straight up refuse to boot multiple times and the only fix I found was to reinstall. I've now had to advise multiple people who couldn't turn on their WiFi in

Almost no displays get 100% when tested for gamut coverage. I'm not really sure why, I think it's some testing artefact. At this point (around 99% sRGB) what you should be looking at is coverage in larger gamuts (here 84.8% AdobeR

I for one wouldn't use a library licensed like this. There are ideological reasons, but more practically, let's say I run a server that provides a public service. At some point, it gets a lot of traffic and I want to accept donati

This is a really confusing product for me. Do they really expect laptop manufacturers to spend money on a niche GPU compute workload accelerator? I'd say it's because Intel wants to show something for their GPU-building efforts, b

My go-to solution to booting an older Linux version on a newer GPU is `nomodeset` and possibly other flags that force-disable the use of device-specific drivers. I don't see how this is different on Windows.

I don't like how the author pits "using phones" and "success in life" against each other. I get his point, people who don't put any time into furthering their career aren't likely to be in a good position

I have to ask, why does the MPAA accredit airgapped facilities? I know movies are a big business, but that seems a little extreme.

Maybe if freedom of speech on social media platforms is an issue (it is, in my opinion), there should be laws regulating it that would apply to any businesses operating in the US, not just ad-hoc executive orders of dubious objectiveness.

I still don't get why companies pay ridiculous amounts of money to get execs from the outside. Every other role is (mostly) filled via promotions, why should executives be any different? Admittedly, Baker specifically got her role by b

Thanks, I'm excited already! I'm using a Blackberry keyboard for my project, but that's obviously not scalable.

This looks lovely. I've long been looking for a hackable device in this form factor, albeit more with the intent of running Linux. One thing I can't find any detail on is the keyboard. Making a keyboard from scratch is well outsid

I agree that distance/range is a problem, but I could see this as a way to get to school, to an after-school activity or to a shop in a nearby town. 50km should be enough for that and the speed, while much worse than a proper car, does

My comment was very Europe-centric, as the car is only for sale there, but I should've clarified my statement, sorry. From my experience here in the Czech Republic, most towns either have adequate public transport or are small enough t

by dvdkon 6y ago
In my opinion, public transport in cities is already good enough (it could be better, sure, but it's good enough that most people won't want to buy this "car"). A small "sub-car" that can be driven by younger p

"licence" is the non-USA spelling.

If they're that prejudiced against the AGPL, they'll probably be happy to pay for one of the proprietary editions (which have more restrictive licences, but don't tell them that).

It all depends on perspective. From my point of view, Adobe's pricing is definitely messed up and I know a few people who are still using pre-CC versions because they don't want to pay for a subscription, especially if they only u

The build file is a full Lua script, unlike Meson's limited DSL, which you might see as an upside or downside.

Having to read those to see if a working program is fully correct is a failure on the language's part.

There's no "good one", since the different series represent design tradeoffs other than just price. Some people want the lightest device, some the most powerful, others want the longest battery life. You can't have it al

Yes, because the author didn't make its contents available for free. Websites can do the same, and many do. They could even disallow other sites from crawling them and processing their contents through the (mostly) respected robots.txt

$1 per 1000 clicks is ridiculous. Google make a lot of money, but that's because of their scale, not because they have somehow made search a miracle source of income. Would you also argue that, say, indexes of literature or libraries s
