I tried to for a number of years after they added it and my download always expired before I was able to complete it since it didn't support restarting. Eventually I got locked out of my account so I just lost all the data. These days

Can it? Files on Windows 95 and files on most Unix-like OSes are very different things.

I think most people assume the individual satellites aren't synchronized well enough to produce a mutually coherent signal so the power from each of them will just be normally superimposed. IE they're thinking of the individual ph

It's not just the hype, it's the "you're holding it wrong" gaslighting. I have zero tolerance for that sort of thing these days. At this point I'll use kernel virtual terminals before I use Wayland.

The Win95 API is pretty incomplete. That was actually a terrible OS. The oldest I'd go playing this game with anything serious is probably XP.

I think we only know about F-Droid because it's the only high quality one. Low quality software tends to be popular among the general public because they're very bad at evaluating software quality.

Good to know, I guess I'll write an .ssh/id_rsa harvesting worm and chuck it in a pip package tonight with a license that includes a clause requiring surrender of any machine its installed on.

It looks to me like there are quite a few more basic features fundamentally incompatible with Wayland's architecture than X's. Maybe X has issues but Wayland is still a regression.

All societies have elites, you can't eliminate that. What you want are societies where the elite's interests and the people's interests are aligned. EDIT: meh. At least aristocracies typically had a connection with the people

The last company I worked at gave us all macbooks. I noticed every few days it put an article titled something like "maybe its your parents holding you back" in the sidebar. This seems to be the default configuration on OSX. I&#x2

Nah I don't think the directories need to be reviewed (except for listings for things that don't actually exist.) Just show the listings in lexicographic order like how phone books worked. We already have the law as the meta norm.

I frankly have very little sympathy for Tesla here. If you're going to "sell" people a computer and not give them root it's impossible for everyone else to tell if you're screwing around with it like that. You want

I wish there was an old fashioned n-gram + page rank search engine for those of us who don't mind the issues the older Google had. I've thought about making my own a few times.

I don't know if that's quite right. A nice business directory would probably be better but most people don't want to settle for that.

Sales are the most important thing in business. Everything else only matters insofar as it drives sales.

I've been experimenting with this as well with the goal of using it for robotics. I don't think this will be as hard to train for as people think though. It's interesting he wrote a separate program to wrap the z-machine inte

Sure but IIRC the statistics were relative to previous polls and the conversation was about how people talk about porn on the web not how they actually use it so I think in this case it actually works well.

It can be limiting for other things though. Encrypted DNS was already marginal for some TLD operators, adding the overhead of PQC may actually make it completely impractical.

It's funny, many people complain that the web got way worse after smartphones became common. It's the second eternal September.

The web is essentially a machine for shredding taboos though. We might end up with an immovable object vs unstoppable force situation.

In a number of recent polls in English speaking countries young men have been one of the strongest anti-porn demographics actually. I think HN being tech adjacent with the history and practical reality of how the internet works along with

So I can put a disclaimer in remote shell malware I distribute on the internet and get out of a CFAA violation? I don't think that's quite right. A lot of this software is very clearly malware, that it's shipped by the manufa

Not saying I agree with it but if it's true censored people who have concrete evidence it's happening probably are going to continuously shout it from the rooftops until they feel their neighbors are sufficiently aware.

tbh I had never thought carefully about it until now. I always got excited hearing it from other people thinking "Oh another person who likes Douglas Adam's book!" I'm kind of glad I read this thread though, I can see wh

I understand why people initially feel this way but the destruction of copyright is a realization of the end goal of the GPL, furthermore the way LLMs do it doesn't seem to impinge on the way it's used practically: preventing corp

I think most people are already pretty annoyed with how copyright law makes very reasonable applications of technology impossible. What these whiny retards want to do is put copyright between everyone and a technical revolution. Do that and

It's arguably a violation of the CFAA.

It sounds to me like the Europeans need to have an actual fight (that is with bullets and artillery) with this weird EU pseudo government thing. It sounds like a loss for them to me.
