I am with you, my issue is that 740 billion dollar a year drain on the the taxpayer known as the Department of Defense. We could just privatise it... Defense as a Service, think of the possibilities! /s

This is purely speculation and observation but I had to disable all the anti-telemetry hacks on my (aging) W10 gaming desktop and I noticed a marked increase in latency in everything from opening a folder to launching simple applications. O

Weechat, takes a bit to set it up properly but it is extremely flexible. It can also act as a relay for another weechat client or weechat-remote.

>The 2011 Kernel Summit featured a combative session around a proposal to add a 128-bit binary tag to every kernel message. That idea, like all others before and after, failed to get anywhere near the mainline. The kernel community has,

It would be nice to have a similar system to the language metric at the bottom of a repo, have something like a library metric that list what external libraries a project uses and feed those metrics back to the maintainers.

This seems to be a bit of a trend with Lenovo. My gen 1 T14s (Ryzen 7 4750u) has a similar issue with heat, I can offer one suggestion, replace the thermal paste. I did it a week after I got mine as well as smoothing the oddly rough surface

I think a tipping system would be a better solution, preferably one where 100% of the tip goes to the artist. Spotify still gets their cut from subs and I get to make sure I support the artists I actually listen to. Clarity edit: I mean a t

In a weird way I think cancel culture/doxxing/call out culture has given a massive boost to privacy awareness at least for people who aren't in highly visible jobs. Over the past couple of years but especially 2020 I've

I fully agree but sadly in the U.S. it will take the better part of a decade just to explain binaries, toolchains, and trusted reproducibility to politicians. I think the larger issue is that the political and legal class in the U.S. has a

STRMix should either allow the source to be examined or brief the court that their software isn't suitable for use in criminal prosecution because it is a black box. You can't eat your cake and have it too.

IANAL Are there any IP claims against freenode that could be made by any FOSS project that has an official channel that has been taken over? I know legally freenode can deny services but in this case they are literally taking over projects

Thanks for asking, they are. Just nasty bruises on both sides of my fingertip and a bruised ego.

Not sure if this qualifies as my own code but I have a highly modified 3D printer, I had upgraded to more modern trinamic stepper drivers which have sensorless homing and I had forgotten to set a sane value for the torque limit to let the d

The latter. AI is like any other technology, it can make the world a better place in the right hands or destroy it when it is in the hands of children like governments and greedy corporations.

Death is an immutable punishment, that really should be all the logic needed to dissuade people from supporting the death penalty. Locking an innocent person up for n number of years is a massive injustice but at least the person can be fre

I think ffggvv is implying the politically convenient tendency for definitions to be applied way outside their original intentions over time usually by people with varying political agendas.

OP stated the sponsor pulled the box after they no longer wanted to support freenode. How would the former staff have handled that more professionally? Begging the sponsor not revoke access? If I were a sponsor who found out a project I was
