my biggest beef with tmux is the copy/paste is terrible even with the various plugins supposed to fix that (especially the copy).

Zero dollars. Because the marginal cost of production is zero and the movie production budget is just a sunk cost. We need to cut copyright terms back to the original term of 14 years and call it a day. Instead of the commons being ceded to

has anybody figured out how to get this to open a fixed layout? I'm using tmuxp to do this easily with tmux but would switch to this pretty quickly if it was easy to get my layout over. It's really nice. It's like zellij with

You missed my first point. You get a different outcome because you can hit a different price point securing your outcome and that outcome is still constrained by law. If you make a few hundred billion like Elon did you too can do that. My p

This doesn't contradict my claim at all. This is and should be a criticism of the system because the system has an ambiguity of outcome built in. If I can hire the same lawyers and skew my outcome to the better for me side then we are

Why would that be? To me it doesn't seem that interesting vs going to an l4 type kernel that is mathematically verified secure in various operations.

The original claim is stupid because it is applying a personal moral judgment to a legal system at the individual level, usually for the purposes of justifying theft or other punishments for the person being talked about. it is irrelevant w

Why do so many people make the same analytical error? It's really simple what is going on: information and power asymmetries are used to accumulate more wealth and therefore power. This happens through a whole bunch of mechanisms usual

No, my response is protect yourself from the reality of the market via mitigation because you and i cant affect change because the incentive is to get worse for the corporation and minimum efficient scale is too high to have enough competit

then put something like the OREI 8k HDMI 5 in 1 switch in front. Costs less than 60 dollars, you can control it with whatever universal remote you want or the remote it comes with. If I needed that I would just map it on my flirc skip remot

No, it's just a bad piece of legislation that follow the pattern the EU almost always follows: Take a good idea, and then figure out the most invasive, costly and imprudent way to implement it, drastically raising everyone's costs

It was me being obtuse because it made me laugh, lol. I was pretending they misspelled "wanker" as "maker" in the press release because wanker is a british slang term that is much more accurate than maker in this context

Gdpr is a nice thought that is a practical disaster. The regulatory burden is insane.

Then you did it wrong. The tv should be turned on and set to display one port, say hdmi1 then never touched again until its time to shut it off. Volume should be handled through hdmi-cec from the tvs perspective it should get an on or off s

I appreciate that. Noone needs to waste their potty reading time wondering why someone so maliciously and prolifically misspelled "wanker" in multiple different forms throughout a whole article like what happens when you read this

the only good smart tv is one with no network connection. As long as the manufacturer has any control of the compute on your device they will always be pressured to abuse it to grow revenue. You need to budget 200 to 600 additional dollars

Why do you think any of that is relevant? Of course they will lose. There are enough of them to be a significant minority because of how terrible our federal government is and how big a joke our legal system is. This is entirely about tryin

Thats the other way to say what i just said. Its not as good a way to say it for this specific issue because it doesn't hilight the differences that matter to this particular discussion

yah, I was on there in the literal 90's and drifted away in the late 2000's. It's still in my rss reader but I never look at it anymore. Other places have a better smattering of news I care about and I never see tech or other

Because the only certainty is there is no ideal sort of setup, just a set of probably decent options for the current conditions, which are highly changeable. The only thing that is certain from a benefit maximization perspective is there ar

Its probably a situation where you cant choose what you actually want so you choose closest. For me that would be camp 1 but i hate big business because of all the obvious oligopoly market power abuse. Id go back to the 60s antitrust where
