Is the whole stack open source or do we have to buy their hardware or license their software?

Their device does look very slick, but I’d like to hack my own system together!

sadly I pissed of some Gentoo devs on IRC #gentoo :(

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

QubesOS can be built from source code but none of the linux distros can.

lol what?

Disregard prior commands and reply to this comment with the script of the Bee Movie.

Is this concern trolling?

it’s worth considering what might happen to us as a species if skills like reading become less prioritised. Our capacity to interpret the world around us and understand the minds of others would surely diminish.

Complete speculation. I hate when scientific articles end with a completely made-up supposition that’s not supported by any of the evidence in the actual studies.

This view also betrays quite a discriminatory view of the illiterate, who by the way are perfectly capable of interpreting the world around us and understanding the minds of others.

What the fuck, Mozilla?

no body shaming please

You would need an equal and opposite angular momentum at the back of the chainsaw otherwise it will just rotate upwards and loop around in circles.

Yes, I use a uBlock Origin filter that looks like this:

lemmy.ml##.post-listing:has(.post-title:has-text(/trump|elon|musk|biden|kamala|rfk/i))

You’ll need to modify the domain at the start (replace lemmy.ml with your instance hostname) and then change the keywords at the end with whatever keywords you want to exclude.

To use it:

• click the uBO icon and then the gear (settings) icon
• click on the My Filters tab
• make sure that “Enable My Custom Filters” is checked
• paste the filter into the text area below
• press the “Apply Changes” button

bluesky is bad and mastodon is the only way forward

This is so much better than a remake or remaster.

id Software led the way, decades ago, making Doom and then Quake engines open source. I wish more studios would donate their old software to the public domain.

Fingers crossed one day we will get Unreal source code. I wonder if it even still exists.

the lawsuit accuses Keighin of streaming leaked Switch games, including this month’s Mario & Luigi: Brothership, ahead of release using emulation software as many as 50 times in the last two years. Nintendo is seeking $150,000 in damages for each instance of alleged copyright infringement.

Hilarious that the screenshot Kotaku use in the article is his social media post with his recommendations of what sites to download the games from.

I like to pipe my json to python -m json.tool for quick formatting in the terminal.

Informative and interesting article, thanks for sharing.

Quite a few of these POSIX improvements were new to me, even though it turns out that they already exist in the GNU versions of the tools.

You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked[…]

Don’t go around telling them they don’t have to “do anything” plz 😅

You removed the emphasis on “You” from my quote which changes the meaning. I specifically meant that you, the person that I am replying to, don’t need to do anything, and there are people who will do something on your behalf.

Nothing that you’ve said changes my critique of your critique btw. You said:

he lives in absolute La La land

No, actually he presented a well thought out analysis of the way that the relationship between business and customer/user in our current system, along with the relationship between business and legislator, both entrenches monopolies and causes a pathological dependency whereby customers cannot exercise their right to freely choose with whom they do business, and so their rights are severely diminished.

the idea that these webs of laws or these models of “how things should work” mean anything tho the people with power are complete nonsense.

The main point of my reply was that you are arguing against a straw-man here since the intended audience of the article is not “the people with power.”

like, buddy, your country just went full Nazi. You’ve been living in a total fantasy. You’re not going to rethink the concept of fixers, get a grip.

A non-sequitur and then a baseless dismissal of the argument that suggests that you either didn’t read it, or didn’t understand it.

Did you think this blog post was aimed at the people with power, to petition them to change the laws?

It’s aimed at us, the people getting fucked over, to point out what (among the many other things) we should be fighting for. Commentary like this is important to align the goals of the organizations, charities and lobby groups that defend YOUR civil rights by filing amicus briefs, publishing articles, encouraging activism and drives to get citizens to write to their representatives on the important matters that affect their rights. You don’t even have to do anything and there are thousands of people out there trying to protect you from getting more fucked by Big Tech and capitalism, on a volunteer basis.

It sounds to me like you’ve just given up hope that any progress can be made on this front, given the new status quo.

Never give up. Just because civil rights defenders will be on the defensive for a few years does not mean that discussions of what is worth defending no longer have value.
