Does the GDPR apply?

I did the same after you said this.

Infect implies it's involuntary. Nothing's involuntary in a new project like this. The standard way to put it is "so we went with GPL" or even just "it's GPL".

The metaphor can be refined; there are balls that grow well and balls that fall apart. You reminded me of the old quote from R1RS 1978 ( https://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/6283 ) page 29: > APL is like a diamon

Sure, but what's the likelihood they're all compromised? Let's say 3 people have to build it (and publish the hash) before your client will download from one of them.

I know Swedish, so my comment is that English frequently feels imprecise. If you want to make sure a sentence will be interpreted unambiguously, you have to pile on a lot of extra verbiage, which people don't normally do because precis

There is also weechat.el, and weechat has a matrix plugin.

Can you unpack? Software-defined planned obsolescence?

Alternatively, keep piling on new ways of doing something, like raising the difficulty slider in a video game to keep it challenging.

The relevant thing is whether the client enables it by default. From my experience, Element iOS doesn't.

If browsers are careful not to use CPU and mem, web developers will just bloat their sites even more because there is room for it. Let browsers bloat, it will slow down website bloat.

Software doesn't die until all developers abandon it.

Topics come in waves like that here. The first BSD link leads to new people finding more links on their own, and it takes a while to die down.

To be frank s6 and its cousins like runit have so much fewer lines of code -- I'm pretty sure it's fewer than OpenRC and traditional SysV both -- because of simple and thought-through architecture. If you're gonna do a system

Credit where it's due, the GNU Guix folks made elogind and Gentoo picked it up.

This isn't meant as a rejoinder, but I think you should ask random people what they feel about the difference between murder and declining to be a parent. I think you've been sitting thinking this to yourself without really debati

You know, I agree fully on trying and not being a coward. I wonder why it sounds otherwise to you. I just think there's no need to spread life beyond those of us who are here right now. It's worth keeping currently living indivi

Can you explain again why it'd have more private manifests? I'm not that familiar with Nix, but don't you use scripts, configs and environments all the same?

Give me some credit, I just said put some maximum on pain, not remove it. Yes it'd be nice to recover from damage better but that doesn't help when you are being predated on, like when there is a torturer to make sure you don&#x27

It's not just Nix lang it replaces, we use Scheme in place of a hodgepodge of languages (shell script, Nix, C and others). Almost all equivalents to C-hardcoded parts of Nix is inspectable and modifiable in Guix. There's code reus

It opens the door for more peer-to-peer distribution in the future. Imagine if every Guix system published their builds (as an opt-out setting). Then even if you modify a package's build options, a few other people might have made the

As far as I know, Scandinavia was absolutely a farming society to the same extent England and France were. It's not like they all up and went a-viking: the people that did were a small percentage of the population, and this is to be vi

Mars is a single easily avertable project, still actually free for discussion unlike profit-motivated matters like the ongoing deforestation here. Until there's a clear profit to be made from Mars, it's politically possible to mak

That's only if you equate the value of life-that-lives-now and life-that-hasn't-been-born-yet. The majority of us value them differently: it's a lot worse to murder than to decline to give birth. Consequently, you can hold th

One reason not is: we're directly responsible for any suffering that then happens on that rock. A biosphere full of life means horror and suffering every day for so many living things it potentially eclipses all humanity's past cr

The Vikings were themselves a farming society. So this has nothing to do with the postulate that non-farming societies would overrun farming societies -- I'd look for a different example.
