Interesting, thanks very much for the links and info. It seems NY is notably a state that does not have an equivilant to that CA legilslation, I'm based in NY so I wonder if that's why I was less aware of this. I'm honestly s

I've never found an alternative shell on Windows that integrated as well as explorer. That's to be expected I suppose, but it's an annoyance I find it hard to get past. That, and the Windows DE works well enough for me for th

I don't think I've used a cache link in some time. It stooped being reliable years ago, and the archive.ph type of services seemed to pick up the slack and do a much better job.

I'm not 'refusing to read' it, I said I'm familiar with it because I've read it numerous times in the past. Which examples are you referring to? The only real example seems to be fish. In any case I was using '

I don't think it's remotely reasonable. The list you refer to, which I don't need to click on as I'm already familiar with it, is animals within the same family, e.g. bi cats. Raccoons are not any type of feline, and thi

I guess it's prudent to remember to always use Times New Roman when committing fraud.

AI isn't ripping off anyone's work. Certainly if it is, it's doing so to a much lesser extent than commissioning an artist to do a piece in another artists style is.

> Capitalism needs regulation to avoid self destruction. This is equally true for any alternative system to capitalism.

by ruthmarx 2y ago
That's not true at all. That's just some propaganda college kids and the like keep repeating. Most other western countries are capitalist, have much stronger regulation than the US and are all the better for it.

by ruthmarx 2y ago
Capitalism doesn't dictate poor working conditions at all. Lack of regulation certainly does though.

Part of that was likely due to Windows doing its graphics at kernel level instead of in userspace.

I agree it is worth commenting on and not common. It makes no sense at all for a company like Netflix to use any external service to blog.

I'm just talking about respect for convention. The same way on an FHS respecting distro a software should install to FHS paths and not, for example, make a new root level directory. There's a respect for user preferences there. It

I don't really understand your point here. It would make perfect sense to have two separate hives by sectioning off all the stuff users, even power users actually need access to. 'specific ACLs' have no bearing on that.
