So copyright is dead then? Can we merge all the leaked driver source into Linux and have decent OSes on handhelds yet? If I train an "ML autocomplete" on the "OpenNT" source can I share it legally?

They just dumped RCE into an open source project. Audacity is dead. Hopefully the devs move to one of the forks and it has a good name.

Routine healthcare shouldn't be insured, but dealing with unforeseen health problems should. There's no level of coverage that could possibly considered complete so it should be up to the individual to decide how much resources to

I don't know, otherwise intelligent people do some incredibly stupid things with ML pretty often. This wouldn't be Microsoft's first time.

That's exiting. I know a number of people who use custom domains but don't actually self host because they like the flexibility to move between mail providers without losing their social graph. It would be awesome if this became m

We reached the point a long time ago where the freedom of the platform is far more important than performance for all but the most demanding tasks (really just video editing at this point.)

Suppressing criticism of the government should always be considered unacceptable. Doing so trivially allows some nasty social pathologies.

Lots of things killed people last year, including the lock down. Being allowed to criticize things like that is what separates us from countries that lack democracy.

So I guess we can just copy around copyrighted source now? Great! Now we can share all the proprietary driver and DSP code from Qualcomm.

Windows appears to be doing the same thing, also the "+Linux" is just a VM with X11 forwarding, something everyone has been doing since XP and it's not as great as it looks.

They could have put Xcode on the iPad this whole time, at this point I'm fairly convinced they never will. Eventually they'll kill the Mac off and you'll be expected to use CI artifacts from your feature branches to test your

All this does is train people that they have to fight with someone that "knows better than them" every time they need to do anything useful. The one channel they had to communicate with users and warn them about threats is now gon

Sorry, after what happened with Apple and iOS I'm unwilling to trust that hardware manufacturers ever do things like this in good faith.

Many SoCs let you burn a hash for the second stage bootloader. If your threat model includes this then build a copy of uboot that will only load kernels signed with your keys and burn the hash into the fuses of your device.

Are they so expensive to host yourself? Sure the picture quality won't be as great but with modern codecs it doesn't seem like it would be much worse than the average web page.
