Yes. It's not impractical, it's baseline human decency.

If only we lived in the reality where this was possible. Americans living in the same fear they inflict on the rest of the world might mellow them out a little.

How are these equivalent? Yes, if you've started a pointless unjust war that you can't win, the right thing to do is say mea culpa, accept whatever fees the other party charges and fuck off forever. Not try your best to start WWII

Trump is not Che Guevara. The US doesn't send troops at great personal danger to themselves to help oppressed revolutionaries. They back fascist dictatorships and launch drone strikes. They murdered 120 children on day one in Iran. B

You think resistance movements should never have telecommunications access?

It's just the usual elitism. If you don't make as much as an L6 in Mountain View you must not be a real developer.

Is that really the case? Per https://www.bitsaboutmoney.com/archive/money-laundering-and-... you can be pretty much completely debanked for only a couple of SARs/STRs, and it doesn't seem particularly hard to

All games with a budget over $10m will be online-only gacha soon enough because it would be fiscally irresponsible to do anything else. The only reason you can still "buy" large games - to whatever extent you still can, you'r

Sounds good to me. The problem is the rich don't actually take their money and fuck off, they just keep owning wealth here forever. I expect that won't change until the UK gets an actual leftist government, which seems unlikely

It looks to me like Equality Trust put a fair amount of thought and research into their website, did their best to paint a picture of what's going on in the UK by using multiple reputable sources, and tried to explain why that picture

Relatedly, I just found out Spotify spent €2bn on comp last year. Would you say this feature is worth €2bn?

Is this really the case? Every video I've seen about Switch emulation on the Deck shows stutter, low framerates, audio glitches, etc. in most games. For ToTK in particular, this video suggests it'll barely hit ~30FPS on the Deck u

This isn't some random project nobody cares about, it's the most widely used operating system in the world. Gating access to their main branch behind a GMS license was already extremely evil, this is just adding insult to injury f

The author of this article was also the CEO of Beeper. They did just that and released an iMessage client for Android in December 2023. Apple proceeded to ban users of that client, launched a smear campaign against the company and implement

Altman isn't on your side, or any side except his own. OpenAI insists both that they should be allowed to train models on any text they can gain access to, regardless of copyright or licensing ( https://openai.com/index&

It's legitimate if you believe companies should have the right to provide or deny you service by arbitrary criteria and on arbitrary terms. This belief has some unfortunate real-world implications. The most likely outcome of WEI would

A government could tax wealth. You talk about minor wage increases or payroll protection as if this actually benefits the people receiving these benefits. It does on paper, sure, but governments haven't been paying for this through tax

Leaving aside the fact that RIPA was drafted by deranged lunatics and deserves zero compliance from anyone, who the hell would you trust to run this database?

I think their point was that you don't control your device. If Apple did push code to your device to steal the key, how would you be able to tell?

You could have inferred that the whole thing is a house of cards from vulnerabilities that were discovered prior to bitpixie, but I wouldn't say it was "known".

Forced AI garbage seems to be Notes team's SOP at this point. They destroyed the handwriting experience on iPads, in iOS 18, with an incompetent spellchecker that can't be turned off. At least this math thing is somewhat unobtrusi

Why do you think a video capture of a computer program would infringe the copyrights of the program's creators?

Sorry, that's right, it looks like the license change was a couple of months before. I must have misremembered something in Louis' announcement video.

There is some precedent for Apple allowing apps that can be used for ToS or even copyright infringement, as long as they have a plausible legal purpose and all the infringement happens through third-party plugins that are not advertised in

That's not a fork in the sense normally used by the free software community. It's better than nothing, to be sure, and if Xerox had adopted this license back in 1980 maybe we wouldn't even be talking about free software today

FUTO develops, for the most part, proprietary software that they plan to monetize. The license choice isn't some mistake that you can get them to recant by explaining the virtues of the AGPL and third party distributors. (They're

Aside from Apple, I'm not sure anyone involved in this 7-year trainwreck gained anything.
