Do you... change your tires? Or just get a brand new car every year to avoid the hassle of dealing with car shops? Problem with Smart TVs is they become obsolete super fast software wise. And basically, unsafe to connect to the internet in

But you don't "own" that. You get a temporary rent. The problem is society (and tech) moves so fast it feels like the rent is too long. The idea to incentivize public sharing of knowledge for a short term rent is not so stupi

I'm not worried at all. I was just commenting why others may see that comment (not mine) overly aggressive.

A comment here. It seems to me insects are all over the place in abandoned land. But here we have most of the land alongside the road planted (and sprayed I guess). Which is to say, farmers are killing bugs near their plantation. So, no sur

I re-read your post and while it's not overly aggressive it's the difference in tone and approach that get you. The original poster was like the hippie encouraging home-made yogurt and you were like the school principal saying &#x

Is Pico their attempt at breaking away from Broadcom? I am still waiting some better IO connectors so I can connect an SSD to RPi.

How interesting boingboing added a scihub link, but their link is to an expired domain. The correct link is https://sci-hub.se/10.1177/0022243719867935 Harbinger sounds so negative. How about long tail or hipster?

Likewise. All the debunking and debunking debunking means I have no actual choice. If anything things are more muddy. Welcome to adulthood I guess.

Gnome people basically looked as how Apple managed to be firm about design and though they can be even tougher since they do it for free. Such reasonable / obvious requests linger for decades and after a while the system has been rewri

There's crypto "pop-jargon" and cypto technical jargon. The technical jargon does make sense like any kind of niche technical jargon.

The culture is still there. They just learned to do better PR and how to make money in this new environment (which they couldn't entirely control).

I'm also curious what this is. Apple wouldn't give free certificates even for open source apps! $99 to give their users free apps.

by justsomeguy123 4y ago
This may have been a mistake. Apple will have a reason to revoke your certificate.

I bet a whole lot of your day to day technical and administrative work is gibberish. Your yearly evaluation alone probably would require training for an outside person to understand. Which is to say... don't assume jargon is pointless.

Maybe renewal makes sense to prevent squatting but the question remains: who receives the money paid?? If the money were to be used to secure the network somehow, it would make sense. If the money just goes to the creators... it was all jus

I'd say you are approaching the talk in bad faith. A talk is not a logical proof. A wrong phrase does not imply everything else following is wrong. Seem silly to dismiss the 2nd phrase because you disagree with the 1st. But sure, if yo

So glad this exists. It took people quite some time to group up for this. I find it... borderline immoral to have an open source product and then have binaries contain telemetry and other stuff that's not in the main tree. But, hey, we
