You can see the code, but can't do anything with it? That'd be source-available, not open source. Having a source publicly available is one of the prerequisites for something to be considered open source, but it's far from be

I'm not sure that graph shows what you think it shows. That graph shows that there's an obnoxiously large number of websites that don't support something that there's zero reason not to support. It costs $0 and takes ma

Because convincing all the website owners to do anything (even if it clearly benefits everyone) is an impossible task. See HTTPS adoption.

Rolex is a terrible example. On top of their products aiming to last generations (nobody's going to leave Apple Watch to their grandchildren), they're also well known for not reporting any sales figures what so ever. Nobody can te

Having a working anti-satellite program is nothing but a benefit to a country, with the possibility to negatively impact anyone else who has stuff in orbit. There are a very few problems that are comparable. The only ones that I could thi

China faced no consequences, US faced no consequences a year after the Chinese one, and I doubt India will face any consequences now. It's absolutely not okay and no country should do it. Saying "you shouldn't" to everyo

I'd call this anything but whataboutism. The China's example is there because it puts the threat mentioned in the title into a perspective. We definitely shouldn't destroy any satellites, but we already did. I don't see

by r3bl 8y ago
Worth noting: India is the fourth(!) country that destroyed a satellite in orbit. While I would love nothing more but for it be the last country to do so, the precedent was set some time ago. The one that China destroyed in 2007 (or 2008?)

Usually the goal of UBI is to lift everyone above the poverty line, not to make everyone's lives comfortable. If you're happy living as a lazy fuck just shy of poverty, you're welcome to do so. If you want some comfort, secur

Inconvenience? It's really not that complicated. You download them from a web interface and you drag and drop them into Calibre (with a de-DRM plugin installed). Done, they're now available together with all the ebooks that you go

I also prefer Amazon over other ebook stores simply because I know I can break the DRM effortlessly and reliably. I am well-aware that it's a bad thing to do from a legal perspective (and especially encouraging others to do the same),
