Lets be fair too. When the USA was early on, before and during the War of Independence, we routinely ignored the set of IP laws from European countries. https://eh.net/encyclopedia/an-economic-history-of-copyright... A

Onyx is a Chinese company. Naturally, they don't recognize FLOSS or commercial licenses originating from European Union or USA. The catch here would be is to file grievances against major distributors (Amazon, Ebay) and to prevent ship

I'm also curious, since you work in psychiatry.... Have you seen any cases of scromiting, or "Cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome"? These articles showed up in a big online hit in mid-2022, and never seemingly referenced again.

Until FLOSS stewards start suing for the maximum damages permitted by law ($135k/violation) and make these company-ending events, FLOSS will be seen as a grab-n-go for anyone to pilfer, abuse, and sell as their own. I completely unders

It's the Silicon Valley corporate playbook: Privatize the gains, Socialize the losses. The corollary is: socialism for the rich, unabashed cutthroat capitalism for the rest of us.

First, use a good adblocker, like Ublock Origin. There's no ads in the actual video the Professor posted. Secondly, his audience is tabletop card gamers. He does set the scene as to why he's making a video. Most of his audience is

Public schools have been instituting in "gig work" before that even became a term. I remember in my elementary years (5-11 year olds) that the school would 'force' (peer pressure, competition, punishment of class for you

I think attributing any sort of emotion to them is out of place. I'd argue that there's complete antipathy at the politician and elite level. And that turns "illegal child labor" into a cost of doing business. And from t

This is the "Tolarian Community College" (a play on words from the MtG card game). Without having to watch the video, this Youtuber does a lot of reviews and content on the game. During the course of reviews, he gets a lot of free

I don't see an exploit. I see a negotiation and a successful agreement of 6 of 9 parties. The analog to this in the real world is 2 pages stuck together, and the signer(s) didn't do their due diligence. After all, wasn't the

First, a flipper zero doesn't even have built-in wifi. Only the dev board has that, and it's sketchy as well. An android phone running Wigle or WIFIAnalyzer is plenty good for wifi. As to "dangerous", it is unequivocally

That's actually a significant worry. Embrace, extend, extinguish: is a standard playbook for monopolists and oligopolists everywhere in tech. 1. Make "cool corporate mastodon server" that all the cool kids play on.

A collection of media, that was conveyed as a purchase, was really a DRM locked rental. After the Microsoft auth servers were taken down, all the music went up in smoke. I was hundreds of dollars poorer and nothing to show for it. After tha

Glad I could help with a recommendation. I find it handles around 2TB of music very handily. The playlist handling is "weird", but simple. Basically, just take winamp or audacious, make a playlist using it, and then save the playl

For some reason, my Jellyfin and Navidrome instances doesn't use Widevine (garbageware) in any way. Radarr, Lidarr, Sonarr, and the other Arrs work beautifully to control what media I want, get it, and store it appropriately. And the f

True, but if you're running a website like that where you pull people from, then you should also do some automation work via NodeRed to automate those social media flows. Its hard to be suckered into a social media site if you never go

So it's "Wellakshually" and now the rest of us are 'not normal'? How many other hot takes do you have to share?

I'm imagining the "Well akshually" guy as the person you're responding to. Sure the name was "SimCity". But this is about the 2013 game, not the 1990s game. Clarity is preferred over 'Wellakshually Correct

As much hand-wringing is being done here, this ship has sailed. Remote work is a magnitude better than butt-in-seat-teams-calls-remotely any day. And by having people spread out is also like load balancing your workforce in case of geograph

I think you misread a word. I said that every decision is irreversible, not reversible. Every last one. No exceptions. Some things can be reviewed and done again, but again, those retries are also irreversible. Just that most choices we d

I think people are missing the bigger picture, that's related directly to the SAT. In the USA, public education funds are directly derived from the local tax base as a percentage of that revenue. If you live in a rich area, it means yo

All I care about is if they're open yet. I really don't like the required tie-ins to facebook etm. I'd be less price sensitive if I knew they could be used 5 or so years from now, after they get bored with this thing.
