It was forgotten by media, because said media eventually got back in sync with reality. Which by is to say, personally I’d trust citizens more than western narratives about them.

My argument keeps being “if you have an incredibly complex mechanism working at best marginally worse than an extremely simple mechanism, then something’s not right with your design”. Regarding Google employees, what I wrote is close to th

Take a look at FreeBSD. Here’s what a typical Makefile looks like: # $FreeBSD$ PACKAGE=runtime PROG= setfacl SRCS= file.c mask.c merge.c remove.c setfacl.c util.c .include <bsd.prog.mk> So, yeah, at least for code in C you can have s

FWIW, you can easily have that (separate build directories) with make(1), it’s just that’s it’s not the default.

Because all this content is still easily available, it’s just that you need to consciously want to access it instead of being served it by “I’m being lucky”.

Honestly, that’s another argument against Google timer: you can’t assume it’s correct, because you don’t have any insight into its internal operation. Most people assume it can’t be bad, because Google is big and rich and popular, but bot

Flipping burgers is useful work. Working in spam center is harmful. Web search is useful. Spying on users is not. And so on; I don’t think it’s hard to grasp. Economy exists because it’s beneficial to society. When it results in gratif

Why would Google want to do this? Current 2FA suits its role perfectly: it prevents a large scale leak, one that would result in bad PR. There is no incentive for Google to care for individual users.

So like I said, not showing enough respect towards fringe theories is obviously breaking the guidelines. Fine, I’ll comply. I don’t feel like you’re “with the other side” - of course your interests here are different than mine, but that’s

Yes, we started diverging at “fork” - the other me is different than current me, but we are both the old me. And the legal stuff is indeed down to law, although I believe even from that point of view both “yous” are still you, because ther

It invaded Ukraine, which is aligned with the West, not with Russia.

Of course Wayland can’t secure your kernel or rtld, but I’m pretty sure that one of its advantages is that it can at least not send a random app the password you’re typing in. And no, I don’t think you can really do that with x11. There wa

In your example this “decor” is an improvement: it makes using it nicer. Can you tell me how this “fantastic engineering” makes google timer nicer? Because to me it isn’t quite obvious; what is obvious is how it makes it worse, by lowerin

It’s not that I lack empathy - I know many of those folks, and I’d work there if I wanted to. It’s just that an empathy towards Lenin bust factory workers doesn’t make their hard work any more useful. You’re confused, because you got it ex

I thought Xenocara was about running xserver without root, but otherwise a normal x11? Because I’m talking about something completely different: the fact that, due to x11 design, every app can do anything to any other app, which means it c

Assuming this is actually true, my guess would be the social pressure.

Are those people aware that using x11 effectively means they could just not bother with security and do everything as root, because x11 design makes it trivially easy to escalate?

I.e. because of a bug in economy which makes useless or harmful jobs profitable.

It doesn’t matter if Russia didn’t directly invade NATO yet - it invaded a western country and it poses a threat to others, and that alone is enough for NATO to pacify it to ensure safety of its citizens.

I’d say using tons of “amazing engineering” to implement something that’s functionally equivalent to a trivial shell script is a rather poor engineering.

They’ve been sabotaging Ukrainian politics - and thus economy - for the past two decades.

Intel got money so it can buy congressman. Normal citizens can’t, so their opinions don’t matter. You can see the skyrocketing profits for companies and at the same time dropping peoples income and their living standards. That’s inherent

Literally none of the things you’ve mentioned is leftist. Some of them - like divorce rate and abortions - are even typical to American Republicans. Russia is far-right in almost every conceivable way, from religiosity, to inequalities, to

But of course - NATO has provoked Russia by allowing it to invade Crimea unpunished. If those HIMARS launchers got to Ukraine in 2014, we wouldn’t have the current war, and also probably wouldn’t have problems with gas supply, because Russ

Can you explain how a timer could be complex, apart from impressively bad engineering?

Again, imagine living in UK in 1943 and criticizing the allied forces. It’s the exact same situation, except now Russians are the nazis.

Not true - a secret kangaroo “FISA court” can arbitrarily force them to do anything and there’s no rea oversight thanks to gag orders.

The difference here is that American companies are forced to cooperate with their government with any data, it doesn’t matter where that data is located. That’s why China decided they want their own infrastructure, and other governments, l

“Just yet”? China is number one industrial superpower, you can’t have that with bridges burned. In fact China is going the exact opposite way, see the Belt and Road.
