This is why hardware that is still controlled by someone else should be classified as a rental, and not a sale.

And brigading here is also a thing, and comes at punishments of less karma and rate-limiting. Most people want the "expected talking points", and especially so here. If you ask the bigger questions, and people collectively lose th

You're also wrong. Ive been to the rich liberal types' parties. You know how some of them go? Like this: You'll have a retreat to the den. The host will either send someone out to get "supplies" or they'll alre

Sure the response can be excoriating, but the US government isn't giving up on Microsoft shit. The USG is Linux-hostile, with exceptions like the NSA doing SELinux, Gidra, and other toolchains. Linux would be the absolute best, along w

I would also say that if you don't have full administrator access,but the company still does? That's a rental, not a sale. And I'd argue that under FTC rule, that's illegal.

No. RPi used to be $25 or $35 , and then use equipment lying around. Now it's $80, plus high performance power, case, active cooling, storage, etc. RPi is no longer in it's own original category. And when you compare via cost, it&

One thing I've noticed is that the admins are super ready to ghost/delete/dead people who respond to companies with harsh critique. It's the similar way Ycombinator-sponsored crap has no commenting at all. A good portion

You can laugh out loud all you want, but there are mandatory parking minimums for bars across the USA. Yes, bars have parking lots, and a lot of spaces. The intent is to *drive* there, drink and maybe eat, and leave in some various state of

Yeah, and they'll add it back in 2 or 3 weeks once this round of furor dies down. Then it'll be some 'to gain access to your site you must agree....' crap. I'm really hating what the Internet has turned into.

Although they won't, the best would be to remove all shitcoin apps. Let them install a 3rd party repo instead.

This type of punishment is actually pretty terrible for all parties. I could easily see a different, harsher, but more fair punishment... 1. All assets are sold off to pay victims 2. Prison for a few years. 5? 3. can only work jobs where no

I learned a long time ago, that HN and YCombinator were never for me. We were too poor and never part of the elite SV venture capitalism scene, no matter how sharp or crazy the idea. We were never part of that 'scene'. Hell, I eve

The moment Israel started dropping white phosphorus bombs on the Gaza strip turned it into a literal "holocaust" (destruction or slaughter on a mass scale, especially caused by fire or nuclear war). And, they've been dropping
