Yawn, more politics. This used to be a technology forum.

Nothing like that in the UK afaik. In 2008 Lehman’s had their London office locked and everything frozen on the morning of the bankruptcy. The New York office was afaik still open under chapter 11.

It sounds like you’re suggesting preemptively increasing sales taxes on luxuries to prevent richer people buying them with their UBI and thus pushing the prices up. The net is the same, prices including sales tax (which everyone pays anyway

Good on them. The way that people working in the public sector get thanks for their “service” instead of being paid competitively is grossly unfair.

Healthcare is super expensive in the US though. If the system was more efficient, like European systems, it could work.

Indeed, if you’re doing that kind of refactoring a lot what you have is a distributed monolith, not a microservices architecture.

Lost me when they said Ultima was more expensive to make than Wing Commander. I mean Mark Hamill and Malcolm McDowell can’t have been cheap.

They’re still arguing about SNES vs Genesis / Megadrive on rec.games.video.nintendo. Some threads seem to go back 20 years.

Given Apple make both the computer and MacOS it's not quite the same thing. Chromebooks from 3rd party manufacturers, sure.

NNTP is a standard. I use eternal-september.

It’s pretty depressing, particularly in light the current clamour for decentralisation. Everything new is old I guess.

I guess I’m getting old but I’m always amazed when people don’t know what Usenet is. Or at least aren’t able to spot a Usenet group by name.

The Facebook mobile site works just fine on iOS. Without the app though their data colllection is much less effective. They’d really just be hurting themselves.

The New York Times stopped doing it in Europe, and it wasn’t a problem: https://digiday.com/media/gumgumtest-new-york-times-gdpr-cut... Perhaps it’s not much of a loss.

Agree, I don't think it will work.

True, and with $1M you could have a serious discussion with CDPR about licensing the bits you want.

Maybe they're just trying to crank up the pressure on CDPR to pay.

Using GetRight to resume the download hopefully.

Reminds me of when we allegedly rendered a server inoperable (MS LAN Manager?) by sending too many broadcast winpopup messages.

It is enormously disappointing to have to wait yet another cycle for officially supported updates on aarch64. For a relatively well funded project, FreeBSD should be able to meet this kind of goal and they should be asking what went wrong h

He couldn’t just do it as a 12 hour night shift then?

I had exactly the same idea, and I’ve implemented it for myself but haven’t productised it as yet, and I’m not sure I will. Love the self hosting part, and it’s not that hard but the security part I found problematic. I used Oauth for signu

Unless you have nVidia graphics, sway is probably a drop in replacement for you, with minimal changes from your i3 config. You can literally cp ~/.config/i3/config ~/.config/sway/config and it will work. If you

As I understand it, they’re not allowed to use it - the APIs are GPL only. They would have to open-source their entire driver.

That's not how the law works. Generally in the US it's illegal to engage in virtually any financial transaction if you know that funds were the proceeds of criminal activity.

Well, they’re benefitting from the fraud with their 30% cut. So yeah.

I am not familiar with Thomas Sowell and realistically I'm not going to read his book to figure out why you cite him here. Could you at least give a hint?

If you need to report a crime, do so. Get your crime report and claim on your insurance and move on.

Completely agree, Socialism is a very broad church, some interpretations are more hardline than others.
