I don’t known why people malign the poor core so much. It killed way less people than it was designed to do.
It was a joke to make the point that vim can be the easiest tool to use if you are trying to do a complex task.
Easy is relative. What are you trying to do? Replace a value in an yaml file? Then nano is easier. Trying to refactor a business critical perl/brainfuck polyglot script in production? Then you probably want to use vim (or emacs if you are one of those people)
Let it stand. If ads are an integral part of the work and its message, let’s make the website owners fully legally responsible for the content of every single ad they display. If any ad contains malware or is a scam let’s throw the C-suite in jail for it.
That would solve most of the issues with ads really fast.
His other work was definitely more bombastic.
The user will forget about the old UI after 2 weeks.
There’s also no guarantee that the rel=me points to a fediverse instance, mastodon already has logic to deal with thus without reinventing the wheel with what’s effectively a proprietary solution.
A neat way would be to re-use one the 200 already existing standards like rel="author"
or even rel="me"
(which mastodon already supports anyway). This solution just is just NIH-driven development.
Windows XP code was leaked 2 years ago, so it’s freeware according to this idi… stable genius .
Are you really comparing the use of freedom of association with state censorship backed by literal violence?
That’s the current status quo. New legislation can always override old legislation. The only way to fully prevent these proposals would be to enshrine the right to encryption in a new EU treaty (which requires unanimity) and since the national governments are the ones pushing for this while the European Parliament keeps telling to fuck off, it’s not going to happen.
Theoretically they can, in practice it’s less than ideal. And that doesn’t solve all the other distros or the combinatory explosion of supporting several distros and versions.
Flatpaks on the other hand give you a single runtime of your choice to worry about (though they still have lots of cons too).
Until they drop it for flatpak as they did all NIH-driven products.
Probably because PPAs only work on Ubuntu and there are more Linux distros and even then it meant having to build and test a package for a couple of different Ubuntu versions.
The kind that would lock me in a basement replicating expensive-but-useless-on-their-own military components.
I would stick mostly to consumables - food, etc. Maybe some mass produced goods that I could easily donate anonymously. It would be extremely useful and unlikely to catch the wrong kind of attention.
When we talk about human rights we usually talk about the “what”, and talking about just the “what” leads to misconceptions like that. So the question is why we have human rights. And the formulation human right treaties take is some form of “Human dignity is inviolable”, which means that all human lives are worth the same, and that value can’t be diminished in any way. Human rights are then listed in order to protect that ideal.
When you consider this, it becomes obvious that owning humans can’t be a form of the right to private property because it relies on some humans being above others.
That’s also the reason why free speech doesn’t include things like slander or ordering someone killed.
