> On moral grounds, I find it questionable to give some citizens special birth rights greater than others. Kind of the point here is that it was happening the other way for a couple hundred years, so just abrogating current inequality

It is easier to demonize others than pass privacy laws and data protections, because the latter would also destroy the Silicon Valley behemoths who pay a lot of money to ensure it won't happen.

If "conversion rates" are involved the only impact you're having is on rich people's bank accounts. There is a world outside of web advertising.

We might have different definitions of 'died.' Approximately a hundred thousand non-spam posts a month in the text heirarchy and hundreds of terabytes a month in the binaries seems like a living system to me. I accept that this

What commentary would that be? What irony is on display here? Everything in this article applies to literally every communications media available on the internet. As group discourse moves across protocols and platforms, the same problems

"Installing software I want" and "physically destroying my device" are not the same thing, and shame on you for trying to equate them.

FreeBSD, specifically, has had jails and Capsicum longer than systemd has existed, and rctl (aka Resource Limits) for about a decade now. Like I said, systemd is a great init system but it really did not bring anything to the table as far a

And they did so by sweeping the entire UNIX landscape into the dustbin, only supporting linux, and in return giving us a management system that can't be sure anything is running[1]. systemd is leaps and bounds better than most of the i

arXiv is more than twenty years old at this point. I think the rising opposition to exploitative publishers has ratcheted up pressure on other institutions to switch to an open access model more than arXiv suddenly causing policy changes.

X11 was not initially developed for linux, but every major X11 platform -- Linux, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and FreeBSD -- uses Linux's graphics stack to display X11 at this point. It's been that way since the KMS/DRM introduction.

If that's the case, I'm grateful for it. Why does every tool have to target every person? Maybe it's fine not to dominate every market.

All of them web developers. They have a business interest in this. I'm asking where the end users are.

They absolutely did. Microsoft was late to web and now we have O365, Azure, etc. I'd say, however, that this is less FOMO and more employee-retention. A team shifting from electric cars to generative AI sounds more like a directionle

Weird how they claim the undersigned “end users” and “business users” but Cory Doctorow seems to be the only actual end user involved. I would have expected a lot more people to be up in arms over this.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Yes, casting from phones works over radio frequencies. I do it every day. I haven't owned a "set top box" since I got rid of cable. Tons of TVs and projectors support cast

You didn't rebut points, you invented some kind of additional claim to rebut. This plastic exists in many forms and farmland does indeed take up a ton of real estate. Why are you concluding that this is only a problem if someone is c
