No. Not even close. The headline of that article ("US government targets Cop City protester over phone operating system") rests firmly in the lies category of clickbait. They were targeted for secondary inspection upon their re

Indeed. They owe me nothing, and I owe them nothing. We are all free to have a slice of the infinitely-divisible cake, and also to talk about it when that behooves us. We can say positive things when it suits us, but we can also say whate

So no bug reports. No wishing that things could be improved in any way. All users all must take what they are given. If they do not like what they are given, then they must only contribute in the ways that are prescribed from on-high. No

I see. I take this to mean that we have some kind of (perhaps-fundamental) difference in the ways in which we understand how free software works. (That's OK, comrade. I'm not here to change you.)

There are multiple goals at play. They're easy to find in HN comment sections whenever these topics arise. One goal is to reduce excessive scraping, usually for monetary or performance reasons. This is the goal you mention, and is mo

In many jurisdictions, staircase handrails are required[1] in residential homes. And even when they are required, it's up to the person using the stairs to determine whether they wish to elect to use the handrail or not. [1]: IRC R311.

nVidia comes from the Latin word invidia, which means things like envy, or jealousy. Microsoft (originally Micro-Soft) is a portmanteau of microcomputer and software. Facebook, as others have mentioned, is a compound word that was borrowed

Lack of NAT doesn't imply lack of firewall, though. And home routers have firewalls that block inbound connections by default -- including with no-NAT IPv6.

That sounds easy, but I think you just inadvertently demonstrated the quagmire that many seem to perceive. Suppose I've got a machine on the LAN and I want to open it up to the world on port 1025 with IPv6. This can't happen with

I'm not saying that a person should undertake hosting their own email here in 2026, but: 80 Watts sounds like a lot for a personal mail server. The last small-corpo email server I ran myself was a Pentium 4 box that worked for eons.

For the end-user's perspective (ie, the dude who just wants to do email stuff with a mail reader like Thunderbird): It's two separate paths, as has been a normal thing for standards-based email for an eternity. A user's inbo

That doesn't sound so bad. I like chatting with people I know. I like coffee. Food is nice. Except: My involvement in these activities doesn't leave much, if any, room for the kind of detachment that daydreaming requires.

Indeed. It has varied a bit depending on the timeline, but: Going out for a walk (or to just change environments and very passively stare at nothing) has been less socially-acceptable than going out for a smoke, in my experience. One of th

There's only one important thing that I miss about smoking: A smoke break was an excuse that was tolerated by others, wherein I could go outside and just let my mind wander (daydream) with no particular goal for a short period of time

I remember those days very well indeed. Duping tapes on cheap decks to get one ratty-sounding copy, or spending more money to get a better-sounding original copy at the local record store downtown -- for it to eventually find itself wrapped

That would certainly help get the aircraft up to a speed where it has usable lift and can leave the ground. That's a good headstart, and it represents a significant amount of energy. A catapult launch can't help with the next 30,
