Colonialism is such a beautiful and logical thing. /s

AWS SLOs are going to shit aren’t they?

Lightweight distros need less than 1GB of RAM, so you don’t need to use the entire RAM.

In other news: Chinese marketing departments caught up to Western marketing departments in overselling their products.

You need to escort it through a very large minefield to designated spot or it will explode obliterating everything.

98SE was complete crap and people only forget about it because it was followed by ME.

How to scam an artist out of half of his royalties.

The repo alone has 114 contributors, and that’s assuming no one copied code from any other project. It’s not that small.

One thing I’m missing in all this, did the dude change the license from GPL without the other contributors express permission? That on itself would be a massive violation of the GPL

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)

For desktop you probably can use something like https://github.com/TCB13/LoFloccus/ to save the bookmarks to a file in Synchthing. (Disclaimer: I haven’t tried this myself)

That is a lower circle of hell.

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.

Except crowdstrike literally doesn’t work like that on Linux.

The OS getting fully bricked because of a third party software update is still very much a OS level fuck up.

One thing is allowing the other is actively collecting and processing the data.

Also no. But 2 wrongs don’t make a right.

You are speaking like there are only two alternatives and none of them involves following the law.

Firefox creates a report based on what the website asks, but does not give the result to the website. Instead, Firefox encrypts the report and anonymously submits it using the Distributed Aggregation Protocol (DAP) to an “aggregation service”.

Mozilla can’t send user data to an “aggregation service” without explicit consent, no matter how much propaganda they use to explain it.

Why is Mozilla coming from the position that what advertisers want is reasonable or acceptable in any shape or form? The advertisement industry existed for centuries without the ability to spy on people and they were doing just fine.

Edit: this being opt-out instead of opt-in also violates the GDPR.
