Carriers would need to change the way they handle SMS, and everything a carrier does is subject to state regulations. And states seem to like clear text.

If you're after minimalism, you should take a look at /r/unixporn (kinda SFW despite the name). Not necessarily the most efficient DEs or WMs, but it looks damn good. Some people seem to get a sharp looking Unity. I use bspwm

Do you mean you're using Linux as guests on another host OS ? Or do you mean you're using Linux as hosts for other machines ?

I first came to HN because I wanted someplace to escape the political news cycle. Not because I because I wanted to avoid politics altogether. This seems like the right move for now. But we should be able to discuss political matters when t

I'll admit, my first thoughts were "How can I exploit this system? How would I place sensors? What kind of sensors? Pressure plates? Cameras? IR trackers?" etc etc. And I'm no shoplifter, never done that, I just tinker w

I'm not against throw away accounts, I adhere to the idea of free speech anonymity provides. But if HN was a video game with a karma mechanism, I'd make it so users can't get around that central mechanism...

Some subreddit have rules based on the account age. I'd like to add, that I don't think I judged it in my wording. I've made throwaway accounts, but never on sites where discussion between users is the focus. I just don'

Meta question: Why does HN allow throw away accounts? It seems to go against the idea of "internet karma".

I know that's what some music streaming services used to do. But I still see some risk for Netflix there... Split files are made to be whole again. If you had only one movie stored locally, you would very quickly be able to solve the p

What kind of DRM would they use to store local copies? EDIT: On Android 7.1 VLC for Android, was able to "open" (duration etc) a large file I found in Netflix directory (.hidden), though not decode sound or video. There were two s

What's irresponsible? Getting a master in Art History? You seem very close minded. Everyone can't and shouldn't do a CS degree to "get a job".

That question is exactly what I'm asking, what is "myself" and what is "the environment as defined around myself". And I'm pretty sure there's no clear answer, but the question and reasonings ensuing are i

That's true, it doesn't download only the music track as my original wording implied.

This, to me, brings up the question of "where does myself ends and where does my environment begins?". I could change parts of my brain like I'm changing the environment around me, what would I be changing, the environment ar

They haven't shut down youtube-dl yet which allow downloads of only the audio track.

You can also drop (almost) any executable in place of explorer.exe, it's the basis of Windows Server "Core". It has both good and bad sides, and the same (basic) thing is exploitable on linux. You can replace `cat` with anoth

Silly me, it's litterally in the introduction paragraph of the wikipedia page about "faithless electors", I just lacked the knowledge of those keywords.
