I don’t want anybody else to live near a data center either.
Not even because of the noise or heat or whatever; just because they only have a few employees and that’s just bad urbanism. A data center is a hole in the urban fabric with no foot traffic.
If you must have 'em, put 'em out in the middle of nowhere (but along the internet backbone fiber between cities).
who needs O Zone either
sad numa numa noises
It’s stalking, not merely “public”. “Public” does not imply a panopticon!
Permissive vs. copyleft isn’t an issue of more vs. less freedom, it’s an issue of freedom for whom. The “freedom” that permissive licensing gives developers is the power to take freedom away from downstream users and comes at their expense.
Permissive licensing is like the Confederacy demanding the “freedom” to own slaves.
According to the Gamers Nexus (I think) video I saw, they’re sourcing whatever RAM they can find, so some units ship with 1x16GB and others ship with 2X8GB and it’s just random luck which you’ll get.
Ah, thanks for the warning. My install has been badgering me to upgrade because my (non-LTS) version just stopped getting security updates. I ought to get off my ass and switch distros.
I just ordered new glasses the other day and sprung for an IR-blocking lens coating when I saw it was an option. Who knows if it’ll help much, but it can’t really hurt (aside from me possibly not liking the pink sheen they apparently have).
Yep.
In 2002, I used Gentoo.
In 2026, I use Kubuntu.
(I should probably switch since Canonical’s policies are increasingly bothering me, but meh, I can’t be bothered to reinstall more than once a decade.)
Wait, the gabecube isn’t exactly a cube? Well that’s just mildly annoying for no good reason!
I was thinking of custom-painting it (like Alton Brown did to his mixer) and keeping it.
The movies are one thing, but in the Clone Wars TV series Anakin was a reasonably competent general.
So FreeBSD is now fully exploitable by corporate leeches. Congratulations…?
It doesn’t run, but I haven’t dug into it yet to figure out what’s actually wrong with it. (First world problems: we’ve already got a Kitchen Aid stand mixer, so getting it working isn’t particularly urgent. This bowl-lift one would be a slight upgrade from our Artisan, though.)
Still, I’m pretty sure these things are a holdover from back when things were designed for repairability instead of planned obsolescence, so I have little doubt that it’s fixable for a lot less than the cost to replace it.
Middle left.
Also, the fediverse is, in some ways, worse for privacy because of the types of information that need to be shared for federation to work.
I know exactly why I was banned: I reported a few instances of disinformation in r/conservative, and the admins suspended my account for “abusing the moderation system”.
Just to reiterate: the Reddit admins sided with the fascists to create a safe space for propaganda and lies, and kicked me off the site for attempting to report it.
If my joke doesn’t land that’s my fault, not yours.
On the one hand, yes, fully enforcing these things would be gross overpolicing.
On the other hand, the selective enforcement is, by design, a way to manufacture an excuse to harass and persecute minorities/undesirables.
The correct solution is to relax or abolish the laws themselves until they diminish to the point that fully enforcing them is reasonable.
It was meant to be a tongue-and-cheek confirmation that, yes, I was joking about the American south.
It didn’t land well.
Or that will automatically connect to insecure WiFi.
