I presume you're referring to KDE Activities. I use Activities all the time, but they're still far too much of a static thing, and way too High Ceremony to create/curate/maintain.

Sounds more like MBAspeak for, "We farm VCs".

Not the original commenter, but I guess they were referring to the fact that closed (indoor) grow environments universally suffer from fungal (and algal) disease problems. A lovely example of this is the germination rooms/tanks of malt

Depends where you are (jurisdiction)... in some countries the law requires an open offer.

As a long time customer of Gandi, I've never seen "extra services Heissenberged into [my] cart" when buying domains from them. Would be an instant red-flag, but here we are...

I was under the impression that the messaging apps (WA, Messenger) use end-to-end encryption for the conversations, in which case how does Meta have "access to 70% of all human chat conversations in the last 10 years"? My own unde

Agreed that that's the tactic, it still doesn't make it legal.

"funds may be permanently held" How is this at all legal? eta: As a non-US person, I honestly find this incomprehensible. If you've taken the customers' money and the goods have been supplied, then the middleman hanging

Very true. I'd not thought about the "pre-installation" steps/prep. I take it all back.

I don't know why they wouldn't be able to install it themselves, tbh. The last n times I've installed (various distros) the install process went something like: select keyboard layout, select locale/timzone, go away whil

They don't want to emulate Apple. They want to emulate Google. Hence "trash in every corner".

On the first point, do any law geeks know whether it would be possible to craft a new CC license along the lines of "CC-BY-NOAI" although, given that companies profit from their LLMs, I'd have thought a NoCommercial CC licen

Thanks for posting this. When I looked at the linked page, my immediate complaint was, "Just show me a small example!" I don't really have the time or inclination to dig into all those links to see the syntax for code-blocks,

Factory-farming dairy. Nothing at all unusual. If you have some bucolic vision of cows peacefully grazing all day, being led to a milking shed twice a day, flies buzzing in the sunshine... disabuse yourself of the illusion. When people say

Pastures used for grazing are managed intensively using big machines. (Source: I live next door to a large dairy farm. Pastures irrigated with centre-pivot systems.) Pastures get replanted/supplemental sowing every so often, weeds ge

Exactly this! Lie through your teeth if you have to, but leave with everyone smiling. I wouldn't even go with "job/co no longer aligns with my goals/values" because that just opens the door to a conversation you don
