While some streaming services might work with Linux, almost all will not show HD or better quality. Just torrent everything, its so much easier, this DRM clusterfuck just gives you less reason to feel bad about it.

It has not really anything to do with human nature, its the power structures in the west that have vested interests to shape the mainstream narrative. Some atrocities are getting coverage, its not at all arbitrary which ones. Its more a sig

In principle code signing is a good idea, this way Apple can ensure an improved security standard over their competition. But the downside is of course that Apple is in control, and like any corporation it will do things with that power tha

I'm curious, I'm maintaining a similarly sized React app. What are the benefits of Vue (2) over React?

I fail to comprehend why this being done across the EU is supposed to make any difference? Its not like there were competing news outlets across the EU due to the language barriers. What after the EU implemented it and it still isn't m

That's not really the question, the news sites will give Google explicit permission to use their content while not granting the same usage rights to any other smaller EU-based search/news-aggregation service. That's why every

I don't see much of a reason you want to clutter your code with that, if you need a wrapper around pytorch use fastai not some obscure library nobody has ever heard about.

I think he is the perfect example of why I don't care what those C (or minimalist subset C++) programmers have to say. When you actually see how he works, how much time he spends debugging his messy code. They are all sooooooo far away

that would be interesting if "made with code" was true. In reality this is not anywhere near close to what I would dare to describe as "made with code": https://github.com/cmiscm/leonsans/blob&#

I'm the total minority here obviously but anyhow.. First of all if you have a camera indicator light that you can turn off in the software what you have is a very fundamental lack of understanding in the first place. There is no point

no you are not alone, OpenOffice/LibreOffice has always been just plain and simple a terrible piece of software. The license alone can not make up for it. From the icon set, to any of the most basic UX/UI, the experience is just h
