the difference is that HOAs are private and not state actors, when they really should be. that has some constitutional implications. they are not democratic because usually only property owners are voting members based on the size of the pr

yeah, how about HW;WR? human written, worth reading.

HOAs have become defacto governments. exactly, and they should be forced to operate like one, with democratic elections, and the same checks and balances like any other part of the government.

by em-bee 2mo ago
Not sure how you could write a law that would get rid of the kind of HOA you make HOAs be part of the government and follow democratic rules like any government, ie. they are just a smaller form of a municipality, or a subdivision of one.

Not all neighborhoods are in a municipality either. why is that? and why is the county or state government not taking over the responsibility then? for example in germany a democratic local government is guaranteed by basic law, so a neig

you place the camera in such a way that it only covers your own property. in germany having a camera that goes beyond your own property is even illegal, so that's the only way to place cameras there.

ok, fair point. i agree, that's a bit annoying. and ideally it should also tell whether changes are made after exporting.

how does the save/export distinction result in extra clicks? they are in the same menu right below each other. pick the right one. if you don't know you may pick the wrong one the first time, but after that you know. i find it fas

D, A and CH are the international vehicle registration codes for those countries among other things. and "dach" as a word means "roof", which makes it memorable. some more fun facts here: https://en.wikipedia.

i don't know how trustworthy rateships.com is, but according to them shipping costs to nigeria and trinidad are similar. and as for the last mile, the cost probably goes up because local shipping is rather unsafe (higher rate of theft

most if not all apps on f-droid are not going to be verified mostly because many of the developers are unlikely to be interested to submit those apps to google for verification.

by em-bee 2mo ago
the whole point of using an alternative app store is to be able to install apps that are NOT approved by google. if google is the only allowed arbiter of what may be installed then we are no better off then using the google play store, beca

in response the all the comments that state that this feature already exists. i didn't know about that, and it's also not the kind of feature that should be obvious so i would not think to search for it, so i am very glad to find

in RMS mode you would also share the source of all the apps the guest might be using.

MIT doesn't bar additional restrictions, so you could say this is MIT except you can't train on it. GPL on the other hand does not allow additional restrictions and therefore the code would not be compatible. but you can't co

not being able to train in it is a restriction on using the data though. if i publish that data, and someone else trains on it, am i liable? am i responsible to ensure that noone trains on that? how am i supposed to enforce that?

the video is all about the subcontractors, so i guess they are the ones being hurt. i suspect the problems are: subcontractors are small businesses that don't have the resources to cover those liabilities or fight lawsuits from custome

it's sugar. sugar provides energy. used carefully, it can have its place. it's not good for casual/mindless snacking, but i'd eat a candybar when i need some quick energy and can't get something better. i avoid cof

the sugar content is to high. sugar does not rot. that's why it's used as a preservative. it might get moldy on the outside if wet. otherwise it would just dry out.

yeah, this looks like an internal project page. not something meant for the public. what i would do is to create a different page specifically for contributors that has instructions on how to add products, and ways to look at the lists of p

naturally. as in any space that has people doing it for love but also has people paying to participate. in FOSS too. see also my other comment...

of course. that's the point. what matters is that there still is enough money in it that enables some people to make a living of it. and that's great. since we are discussing a decline, people no longer being able to make a living

but if you are not volunteering then your ability to do it still depends on there being money in it.

they are not thinking running linux in a VM is a good answer, but that it is the only option they have to keep windows relevant for developers, short of porting windows itself to run on top of linux. i am confident that day will come.

actually given the nature of the project i would suggest an entirely different name: woosh. wsh for short.
