The 5th of November is Guy Fawkes Night in the UK: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night

I mean it’s easier to sort like that for humans too.

You exist in the brain, which is ruled by physical processes. Not sure what citations you need for that.

AFAIK Taler is for payments, the Digital Euro is for storing value.

I remember a project where someone booted Linux off of Google Drive. Cursed on many levels.

I mean, this user does quite eloquently raise a good point: https://github.com/dotnet/docs/issues/45996#issuecomment-2848267714

It’s a single link all the way at the bottom of the page, so not really obtrusive. And given that there are people using Copilot this way, it’s probably better to give them something to use docs-wise rather than leaving them to Copilot’s mercy. The article linked to is also pretty much just instructions on how to do it, no real gushing about how amazing Copilot supposedly is.

Proton edited and deleted some of their responses because it made them look even worse. You can find one here: https://archive.ph/quYyb

Complete delusion believing Trump will “stand up for the little guy”. The GOP is the party that gutted net neutrality after all. They had the Chevron doctrime overturned. The Thiel-Musk funded party standing up for “little tech”? Please.

The CEO tried to spin it off as “missing context” but the responses show he’s either completely delusional, has been comatose for the past two decades or is just pro-Trump. I can’t look inside his head, but his tacit endorsement of the party actively dismantling US democracy is not something that can really “lack context”.

Proton, the company, has donated to liberal parties. The CEO seems to be a bit more of the “libertarian” type, that doesn’t seem to mind everything the GOP did in the past years.

The company seems fine but I think they’re referring to the pro-Trump comments the CEO made.

Except Windows does cater to it, and despite Linux’ supposed superiority it is still by far the dominant desktop OS.

Probably part of some base template Microsoft uses.

I use Projectivy at the moment. Pretty close to stock visually, just without the ads or apps you can’t hide. Enough for me to make it tolerable.

I have a Philips GoogleTV. I installed a different app launcher on it, now I don’t get any ads anywhere anymore.

I don’t mind opposing views. I do mind views that say some of my family members or some of my friends should kill themselves. I have no business on a platform that allows such hateful conduct, end of story.

It’s a matter of basic decency and respect.

It’s missing the rest:

Resynthesizer is a Gimp plug-in for texture synthesis. Given a sample of a texture, it can create more of that texture. This has a surprising number of uses:

• Creating more of a texture (including creation of tileable textures)
• Removing objects from images (great for touching up photos)
• Creating themed images (such as the Resynthesizer logo above)

The “Nothing to hide” argument isn’t really an argument, it’s more of a conclusion. That conclusion is then taken to support mass surveillance. It’s also not a logical fallacy (even if it’s wrong). It may be “proven” using logical fallacies, but that doesn’t make it a logical fallacy on its own. So I think it’s correct to remove the logical fallacy text.

I think the more effective defense against this one is to provide counterexamples for why you might care about mass surveillance:

• People do have something to hide. E.g. browser history, religious/political beliefs, etc…
• You may not have something to hide now, but in the future you may wish it was still hidden. You can’t unpublish information these days.
• People you care about may have something to hide, and not caring about mass surveillance puts them at risk.
• Relatively harmless individual datapoints can be combined to create harmful datasets that allow for mass exploitation.
• Governments may abuse mass surveillance, whereby you may experience negative effects from journalists/political dissidents being silenced
• Etc…

I mean, is it? I personally haven’t found Python using much less boilerplate. It’s possible, but you end up with something inflexible that’s hard to maintain.

In general, you should pay for content that you’re going to use commercially

Sure, but merely linking to a page isn’t reusing the content. If said content was being embedded, rehashed or otherwise shown then a compensation would be fair. But merely linking to a page should absolutely be free. That’s a massively important cornerstone of the internet that shouldn’t be compromised on.

Linking directs traffic which can be monetized by the website itself, it shouldn’t require additional fees on top.

Eh, I have a few things from Kickstarter that were successful. Exploding Kittens is probably the most successful one of all the ones I own.

Isn’t Umbraco the one that struggled loading a page that didn’t exist, taking several seconds to load the PageNotFound page and causing very high CPU load in the meantime? Like, an issue they had for years?

Somehow I don’t have great faith in that solution, but perhaps it’s improved in recent years.

You do get the advantage of easy and above all fast placement.

Not sure how this would work out. There’s pros and cons I suppose.
