Oh sure, but if I just need to troubleshoot why Minecraft-launcher (a first party app) won't launch ... it didn't give any output; it didn't even exist apparently, but only because MS were hiding it, had to crack out Process

In the UK we say 'the coast is clear' when telling someone that 'there is no-one around to see any misdeeds you're about to do'. Nothing about Moors, nor even Spaniards!

Well, AIUI, Medialab AI were told they were going to be fined for tracking children, and using their personal data, if they didn't stop ... so they blocked the UK from access. A united democratic Korea would be great though, good call.

Is this not an example - they mention 3D printing of parts to customise for personal requirements? I like the wall mounted example with the output paper holder below. Neat.

Makes sense, presumably if the project is well enough supported then they can move on to cartridge/head production, or modify to use whatever heads are available. Out of ignorance, I wonder how IPR will work with interoperability right

Interesting perspective. To me it makes you more dependent on the other people in your society - only if you don't earn more than the BI of course. That is true under Western Capitalism too, you're already dependent on your societ

I think it's far worse - the military en masse broke their promise to uphold the constitution and instead supported Trump and Hegseth, including committing war crimes and deploying into USA cities. Not to mention going to war (twice)

>Smol is an intentional misspelling of "small" that expresses affection for animals, people, or objects. (M-W online) Seems like a perfectly cromulent (apposite) word use.

The fax thing sounds unlikely? Perhaps the CIA wanted people to use fax for secret communications, so they could use automated means to read the text instead of having people listen to hours of phone conversations? Consumer fax calls were

Actually, copyright generally is infringed when a copy is made; hence the name. That's why, say, 17 USC 106 lists reproduction as the first exclusive right of a copyright holder. And why Berne Article 9 [^1] is about restricting right

By saying it's a dogwhistle are you saying that not adding the correct diacritics is considered racist by Irish people? If I change the rest of the sentence to Na Gaeilge will that be better.

I don't think Fair Dealing is strict because it derives from EU law - what makes you say that? UK copyright legislation largely started with the Statute of Anne in 1810 (or thereabouts). I'm not sure we can blame the EU! Much of w

This would make a nice add-on for Digikam, which already does perceptual image hashing. I read that they used artisanal code(!) - did they write a new image hashing algo, or use an established one?

Is this why Windows takes so long to delete things?? Presumably those reads aren't done when using del from a console as that always seems a bit faster.
