None, hopefully. Facebook should not give in to censorship campaigns.

The FSF is absolutely about software and promoting free/libre alternatives to proprietary solutions is their core activity.

Russians are not the enemy, Russia is the enemy. And this is based on Putin's foreign policy towards smaller neighbors that it historically controlled.

Russia still wants to dominate Eastern Europe and must be opposed. The US is an excellent partner in that, much better than Western EU.

Yes. Is there a good reason for agriculture to be less concentrated than industrial sectors, for example automotive?

> Germany tries buying gas from Russia and the USA sanctions the fuck out of companies that are even just marginally involved in it. Good! Russia is an enemy.

PCI and USB bus standards include dynamic enumeration but ARM SOCs normally only use them as external interfaces. IP blocks inside the SOC itself usually just expose their registers on an AXI bus with no enumeration support at all, this is

You clearly have no idea what an "authoritarian regime" means.

It's sad that we're so far down the slippery slope of censorship that people are cheering for authoritarian governments.

There is no equivalence between advertising companies tracking what you browse and a government's ability to throw you in prison.

This is a textbook example of an authoritarian government banning media outlets that allow criticism. It's unbelievable that anyone can hate Facebook so much that they side with authoritarian regimes.

My laptop screen bends 180 degrees fully flat on the desk, I use this configuration with an external monitor but no external keyboard. Maybe that's how you would use this system most of the time, just plug an external monitor and ignor

This should be specifically targeted at large internet platforms and service providers (like ISPs). Some sort of cutoff can be found based on revenue, there are plenty of other regulations which only target companies above a certain size.

Large platforms (for example >10m users) should be forced by law to publish everything which is not otherwise illegal.

by kanox 6y ago
Completely disagree: the rights of individual authors should trump the rights of platforms, otherwise we will find ourselves in a situation where free-speech only applies to Facebook, Google and assorted media companies. It is incorrect to

ctrl-f blockchain: nothing? This technology is clearly crap and ripe for disruption. Sure: there are some good reasons for things to be the way that they are but decades of compatibility work won't save banks against a competent compet

It's not a family, it's a workplace. If the company pretends otherwise it's better not to work there.

HTTPS is not about gatekeeping, you can use "let's encrypt" for free certificates for any domain. HTTPS-only is about forcing all traffic to be encrypted by banning clear-text traffic. I've been using the "HTTPS eve

There is almost no elasticity in current market: DOD, NASA and traditional GTO comsat launches are few in number and not particularly sensitive to price. Payloads routinely cost several times the price of a launch so cheaper launches have l

What seems to be missing from these discussions is the gigantic bet that SpaceX is making on Starlink. They performed 15 launches for this constellation already that they paid for themselves. If the internet service business doesn't ge

This is a very interesting take. In Nokia's defense the incumbent leader of the PC market was Microsoft Windows and their phone efforts were not successful.
