Yes, and I use those. But it would be nice if it could be generalized to cases where the places that need to be edited didn't line up nicely in a block.

If capatilism was working the way it was supposed to, the customer could choose between paying more up front, but having the option of a "free" return, or paying less upfront byt having to pay for a return (or not be able to retur

On the other hand, without private right to action, consumers may have no recourse if the AG doesn't wish to pursue action (possibly due to corruption, or lack of resources).

I like the idea, but I'm not sure how enforceable it will be in practice. It seems like it would be relatively difficult to prove a company is using surveillance pricing, and companies may just accept the risk of paying a fine.

There are dubious results published in every subject, including math and physics (whether theoretical or experimental). The difference is that such results are less likely to be widely cited and accepted by the field. For math and theoretic

How would you do that? One reason peer reviews are usually anonymous is to prevent retribution (ex. rejecting someone's paper, because they rejected yours). Not that it is perfect at doing that, but if you make it more transparent, you

And in order to pay that 1 cent, you have to pay 23 cents or so to a payment processor.

That may work for some businesses, but IME, the people who hold the purse strings generally aren't ok with just giving money to a project without getting something in return. Especially if it isn't a 501(c) non-profit they can get

I don't expect to get paid for the open source work I do in my free time. But I would also really like it if I could work on open source software full time (or for the software I work on at my day job to be open source), but to do so

Yes there were significant portions that were proprietary before this, including support for some services. The parts that were open source might still be worth forking, but you would probably need to change every occurrence of the name to

It depends. For a lot of hardware it's actually easier to get working on linux, because the driver is just part of the kernel and you don't have to do anything special, including manually installing drivers, to get it working. The

I think go will make it easier for more developers to contribute, bit rust would probably attract higher quality contributions.

That sounds a lot like my experience with claude code. IDK about OpenCode, but claude code is also largely written by LLMs, and you can tell.

> Projects will drop Wayland support and go back to X11 I think that is incredibly likely to happen. I think that the switch to Wayland has hindered the Linux destop in some ways, and mistakes have definitely been made. But at this point

pip isn't exactly a "built-in" tool. Beyond the python distribution having a stub module that downloads pip for you.

I don't see anything on there saying that non-copyleft licenses are better, unless you are in an ecosystem that prefers a different license.

Why does snap-confine need to be setuid, rather than use a user namespace?

This isn't really systemd's fault at all. Systemd just happens to be what cleans up /tmp. You would have the same problem with tmpreaper. The problem is snapd not protecting against something else writing to /tmp.

I don't have much experience with Azure but I was amazed at how many things in AWS GovCloud don't meet FedRAMP encryption requirements. For example, none of the lambda runtimes have FIPS certified encryption libraries available,
