It's not surprising that "normal users" don't think about this but what I've found extremely surprising is that otherwise fairly skilled programmers don't even think about it.

Apple used to be ok but you're pretty much stuck with OSX in their newer machines which is a pretty mediocre OS for development.

It's wanting access to a single serial port, that should have nothing to do with location. On Linux (on eg a pinephone or thinkpad) that would be adding the sandbox user to the dialout group (or to restrict it to a single port, creatin

You'll just end up with telemetry in the compiler you have to download to bootstrap everything.

None of this stuff is authenticated the number on your credit card is an ID number not an auth secret, and if you make a habit of it your bank will cash personal checks from you written on notebook paper. The idea is that fraud is already i

It is, bitcoin is cash on the internet. If you want reversible transactions and credit then use a credit card, I'm pretty sure there are credit cards for crypto now and if there aren't there probably will be soon.

Personally I got absolutely nothing done on my side projects in 2020 between Covid, moving, and a new job. 2021 has been far more productive.

The result of this is that every app does do inefficient notifications because in many cases it has no access to an external (to the app) notification service on the phone. Just another crappy smartphone OS feature that works fine on OSes

I'd pay for things if they included the source code.

I'd imagine it's something like iOS where you don't get battery friendly push notifications without using services from the OS vendor and there's no way for the user to select a 3rd party service instead.

Copyright defends us from some of the abuse by large corporations in the form of the GPL. Want Linux to run on your thing? You must publish driver source then or you're violating copyright law. This was less a big deal before device ve

They really don't need to re-do the lectures every year, you only need them once. What's kind of sad are the upper level/graduate courses with no lectures, or the ones that have lectures cut out for IP reasons.

At this point keeping Windows working costs more time and money than just installing something like Pop!_OS.

I think even 5 years ago many hackers (especially the pragmatic ones) thought Apple may have been doing the right thing. Woz tends to be on the more pragmatic/accepting side IMO, you have to be if you want to play with/create the

Discord accounts are tied to real identities and the company is pretty aggressive about removing duplicate accounts. It should be possible to ID most of the people in that chat and report them to the administration.

What business in the US makes more money then real estate? There's stuff like Apple where you almost literally own half the countries computers but outside of stuff that is or should be illegal there's very little. Nothing is like

My calculus 3 professor would pass out tests 10-15 minutes early on test days. He'd dump them right on top of your study materials and expect you to push them out of the way if wanted extra time to study. Applying a panopticon to child

Are you aware of the vim fandom? It seems to be one of the more complete vim wikis and it's probably the most annoying wiki for a piece of open source software ever. I often go without using whatever information is on there just to avo

Apple has made it illegal to obtain parts, people doing this have obtained the parts from other people who are breaking the law/contracts they signed. Apple also uses software to disable replacing parts.

The "free energe" is moving the heat from the hot rock to the atmosphere. The difference is that it's not doing that by oxidizing carbon to CO2.

Wow that defeats any reasonable point this could have had except to benefit larger corporations. The EU might be better off without the law entirely.
