This has always been a problem. Third party closed source OS components are a massive security risk. Te people of the next century will look back on us as barbarians.

Good writing is probably like dressing up. It's not just what people think of you, you think of yourself better too.

Yup. It shattered the illusion I had built up that our relationship was worth anything.

Yes but Linux won't even build with gcc 4 much less weird compilers like tcc or msvcc. That ship has unfortunately already sailed.

Give users root. There's a decent chance they can do things better than the manufacturer.

I think this list is pretty old and the post rate limiting is a pretty recent feature from late last year IIRC.

Russia actually already tried this with as much success as one would expect. Also, this is definitely my favorite Ukraine thread right now. It's much happier than the other ones.

I'm not convinced this isn't done intentionally to prevent a deflationary market.

Eventually this burns me out and I stop focusing anyway. I haven't figured out what to do then other than just lay low for a year while I recover.

I don't think the people putting these mandates in place appreciate the emotional harm it causes employees. My relationship with my employer went from something slightly positive to pretty negative after just one threatening email. Thi

>From user point of view, removing support for kernel extensions is definitely a win, since it means more stable (and secure) system. At that point just use an iPhone/iPad. The whole point of OSX is that you have enough control over

IME the GPL is extremely effective against commercial abuse of FOSS. I don't know what advantage this license would have since you'd need to prevent the people you're granting the license to from changing it in derivative wor

It has always, from the very beginning, been possible to emulate hardware tokens.

You still have a lot of options with crypto even without the exchanges. I pay for DNS and my VOIP service with it and could pay for a lot more if I had to.

It's compatible with mastodon which already has a fairly large community (you can follow peertube users and their videos will show up in your feed.) I think this kind of social network absolutely is the future because of how incompatib

It's probably not good to nitpick but with the land analogy you have zoning (the lack of zoning that led to the West Texas disaster comes to mind) and animals (bees etc) tend to cross land boundaries so it's not quite that clear c

Meanwhile the KaiOS store doesn't even allow apps larger than ~50mb for larger devices.

What about the right to choose who you associate with? These people don't want the law to stop everyone else, just protect them.

Crypto would be far less of a risk if the Dollar was managed competently.

After having "Truist" close my account without telling me (but still let me deposit a ton of money into it) I think you might be better of without a bank account. All they do is fuck around with you and they're never open. Cr

Of course we try new things. The things you learn as a child get internalized very differently than the things you learn as an adult though.

I have more hope in education improvement than tooling improvement. There's that famous study where it was found most people can't communicate the difference between xor and or. If you can't do that then you can't read&#

IMO the homeless situation in Paris (largely the result of unchecked immigration) is far more disruptive than any protest.

I feel like most of Chomsky's political ideas are crap but he absolutely nailed the pathological social effects of PR.

The aristocracy still has power and is supposed to be a balance for the democratic part (like the senate/president balances against congress in the US.) When they become "just celebrities" they're not doing their job.

I've always loved Nintendo. My only complaint right now is how hard it is to play homebrew and online games on the same switch, I guess I can afford to just buy a second one though.

I remember the DS being my most capable portable computer. Seeing an emulator for it in the browser feels weird. (also, more on topic for your comment): Going the browser route now (counter intuitively) gives you more flexibility with lan
