It's not nearly that stupid. If their investments are, on-average, bringing sizable returns, it's a perfectly cromulent figure of speech.

I don't think that would hold up in any court in the world. While sober, and in coordination with legal counsel, they made a plan to accept the terms and conditions. That's like a kid swinging their arms around on a playground whi

Yes, "too" close by definition would be a problem. But even a meter of water between you and the source absorbs 99.994% of the radiation (down to 6 thousandths of a percent vs in air, or by a factor of about 1/16000).

Or unless it's in water, in which case you're actually probably fine.

Thickness is really never an issue. My current phone in its case is over 1cm already, and I could easily fit a phone twice as thick in my back pocket, and also a bit wider. And I'm a woman, with the deficient pants pockets that entails

There's totally valid criticism to be made about the durability, not to mention price, but the pitch is crystal clear, "your phone can be a tablet on-demand". You (the proverbial you, not necessarily every person) always have

I think enough customers freely connect their devices to the internet that they don't need to invest in the engineering required to include those kinds of things. I agree they won't have ethical qualms about it. It would also be p

I think the first amendment quite reasonably protects people making donations to political causes. The "speech" protections aren't limited to literal vocalizations, but also applause, writing, displaying signs, etc. And it al

> Works til they put a 5g modem in the damn things. Okay, but it does work until then. "Things could change in the future" is definitionally true. Never connect the TV in the first place, and you don't need to physically a

What technicians? When my TV was delivered they pretty much just unboxed it and set it on the floor, not even being willing to help mount it, let alone plugging it in.

It makes me feel uninformed about the world, but in a good way. It leaves me mildly awestruck when I learn about some new invisible corner of our society that has so much more depth than I realized. I appreciate elevators more (both from a

That feels like a distinction without a difference. On the other hand, "buy" vs "buy license" is actually a meaningful difference.

Using an LLM to parse your application's config is a bit like using an F1 racecar to drive from your house to the bicycle in your attached garage. Getting config into the application should to be fast, light (lighter than the rest of t

I was very narrowly asking about the "Awesome Bar", the example the GP comment mentioned as being better than Chrome.

by delecti 15d ago
What's different about the Awesome Bar from Chrome? IIRC Chrome had the unified search/URL bar before Firefox did, and I don't remember it being very different from Firefox's implementation. If anything, I remember it be

Which isn't a contradiction. What you want, and what they're arguing for, is to not have agency taken away from users. You want the ability to turn off features, and they don't want the law enforcing the removal of access to

You can't SSH into kindles anymore? I know that used to be a thing.

I can't imagine a project so wildly successful and stable that the session URL in a commit history is relevant after 5 years, let alone 30. Git is only 21 years old. I'm not deciding team policies with a multi-decade view. That sa

If you read the whole copyright page of a book and come away with the conclusion that it's anything but terms of use for the book, then we'll just have to agree to disagree.

by delecti 18d ago
Pick up nearly any published book. Turn to the ~3rd page. There will be either a whole page, or sometimes the second half of a page, dedicated to a copyright notice. Very nearly every published book I've ever seen has that identical pa

I had to go on a bit of a journey figuring out how to do anything useful with EasyEffects when I moved to Linux on my Microsoft brand laptop. I question the value of including it by default though. As the article notes, it's easy enoug

That isn't a problem with the counterargument, because the "paradox" as-stated also uses the word "thing". For that matter, the paradox is self-resolving. By labeling the entities it is concerned with as "unnam

If it happened, there should be evidence (an article link). If it isn't supportable, then the implication is disingenuous to make.

Seems that xcancel.com is down now as well. Maybe they got C&D'd a bit later, or maybe they just took a bit longer to respond to the same notice.

What changed about old reddit?

by delecti 22d ago
What's difficult is reading threads, or more broadly replies. But single posts? Absolutely fine, in fact it's about the only thing that is totally functional without being logged in.

Essentially any Linux distro protects privacy. You'd kinda have to go out of your way to find one that doesn't, because there's no online account connected to your install for any of them. If you're reasonably technical,

Yep. And crime has been on a downward trend, even despite the fact that income inequality has been rising. Crime is usually driven by a lack of opportunity; if we ever actually helped out the poor then crime would likely go down even faster
