I use my own default CSS, so it's pretty nice to read for me. It's sad that most browsers have crappy default CSS. It really shines in text-mode browsers, though.

I like this post because it validates my opinions! IMO this is the pinnacle of web design: https://stallman.org/

Corn syrup represses the feeling of being full and is also extremely cheap to produce, it might actually make the applesauce cheaper to produce.

Is the distortion of public opinion by means of the now fairly mature fields of economics, politicology and psyops how things got so bad? What can a person do to not feel powerless in the face of this? Did people actually believe that this

Get an anti-adblock killer list, it's great :) I basically enable every list in uBlock. Suprisingly it almost never blocks too much, when I get blocked it's consequently for being on a VPN.

I guess it could still make sense for tech-heavy, "we rewrite 50% of our code every month"-companies, like... Google? Maybe they're mostly running their cloud to iron out the kinks im the API's they use themselves?

And 2017 is the time of Windows XP and WannaCry. What I'm saying is, those things are all still running in prod. I got an employer off Java 6 just two weeks ago. The next step is all the Java packages that were deprecated 5 years ago.

You could use Git-LFS for managing huge data blobs with Git?

I'm flying significantly less, you could try that?

I'm not sure, I only learned to manage services when I was already on Windows 7.

Fair enough, I got hung up on the lack of guarantees to distribute code alongside compiled applications. Would you say compiled MIT programs are still "free software" when they don't come with the source code?

Didn't they? My understanding is this happened: * Microsoft writes codes with bugs * NSA writes exploits for said bugs and a worm based on them * ShadowBrokers leak the NSA exploits and worm * Random hackers take the NSA worm and combi

It's more akin to manufacturing portable arms factories, that can also replicate themselves. Lose one and you're SOL.

I thought MIT wasn't free software as defined by the FSF? Open source would be the term for that. Free requires end users to receive source, open just allows you to use the source if you have a copy.

That's what the lawsuit is to determine. I'm guessing Qualcomm will lose.

It'd be a good start if they just didn't use Windows. But yeah, definitely. It's pretty damned unlikely that an OpenBSD backup server would get wormed, unless an ME exploit is involved.

Disabled the SMB services yet? Win + R -> services.msc I routinely disable services (until things stop working and I have to figure where I went too far) and luckily I'd disabled this one on my Win7 gaming box, even though the updat

To the author: it would be nice if your site had a small screens layout. I can't read the article on my phone because too much code is cut off (and the right margin is unpleasantly close to the main text, unlike the left margin).

What sections of the law and precedents make you so sure about that?

Perhaps by ways the DMCA, for "p0wning" DRM('d) modules?

It doesn't, but you do have to do a manual check and remember to do that.

Then it turns out parent is the ransomware vendor and the linked file turns out to contain the ransomware, with a few letters in the URL substituted for Unicode lookalikes so it appears to be a legitimate Windows update. I'm not saying

Not everyone wants to update to Windows 10. Windows 8.1 will receive extended support (e.g. security updates) until January 10, 2023.

Do you have a good alternative to the Freedom of Press Index? On the Geert Wilders issue: it is a lot more nuanced than how you present it. The quote Geert Wilders prosecuted for (translation mine): "In this city and the Netherlands,

How do you define "extreme end"? The US isn't doing great in the Press Freedom Index[0]. Norway, or my home country the Netherlands, would IMO be much better examples of "extreme freedom of speech". I'd say the

That's a good idea, very similar to map makers hiding small deficits to find copiers. That gets awfully close to DRM, though.
