Nah, that’s too obvious, could have just been a coincidence. This, though…

My understanding is that it’s a Helldivers 2 reference, so not necessarily.

Not to mention that the surface of a sphere, which is pretty much what the surface of the earth is, is also non-euclidean

Suddenly, flat earthers’ inability to understand makes a little more sense.

On the scale necessary to actually do anything meaningful for Ukraine, no, they don’t project force.

It saves them money in the same sense it saves every other information source money, it reduces traffic. But just like other sites can’t serve ads without traffic, Wikipedia can’t prove its worth and ask for donations without traffic. Eventually, people will start asking themselves why they need to support Wikipedia when Google’s AI tells them everything they need to know, unaware that Google’s AI can only do so because it scrapes Wikipedia without paying for it.

And in return, they drive traffic away from the sites that collect the information in the first place, causing the sources to lose revenue.

God dammit, I wish I could reasonably roll my own email, but noooo, spammers and blacklists had to fucking ruin it. Now I get to research a new provider and change email on a bunch of accounts…

I don’t particularly like giving the permission, but it is made to help you find WiFi spots. That’s easier if it knows where you are in relation to the spots, so there’s a legitimate reason to ask for permission.

That doesn’t mean they can be trusted with it necessarily, though. I dunno if they can or can’t, just saying that having a legit reason to ask doesn’t necessarily equate to trustworthy.

Yes, it did eliminate competition. They’re no longer competition once Microsoft buys them. They’re employees, possibly if a subsidiary, who contribute to Microsoft’s profits.

In a sense, you are hosting the content. You’re retaining a copy (so long as the window is open) and constantly attempting to spread it. It’s literally built on bittorrent protocols if I remember correctly, and it’s already very well established that you can be held responsible for seeding copyright infringing material, so I see no reason at all they’d give you a pass for CP instead. You may not intend to, but remember, my example was someone who looks of age but is not.

Using something like PeerTube is potentially even worse because let’s say you unknowingly open a video where someone in it looks of age but technically isn’t. You as a user help propagate that content while you have it open. You’re not just downloading illegal content at that point. You’re actively sharing it to new people.

Lemmy, the software you’re using right now, was built by a person on a computer. As was the operating system your computer uses to function.

I don’t think they’re saying they know better. Seems more like they’re tired of pouring hundreds of hours of free labor specifically into accessibility only to hear people bitch about how they’re not doing enough when the people bitching probably don’t even genuinely care beyond using it as a way to bash GNOME.

To which your response is to take the opportunity to talk shit about GNOME and disregard his meaning, which kinda illustrates his point.

No, it really isn’t. Should it be done? No, of course not. But permanently scarring a Nazi as a Nazi is not the same as scarring “glory to Russia” into someone defending their homeland from greedy imperialism.

Having learned Nix recently and still not being great at it, writing your personal config is relatively easy. The website has a search feature for options you can use by default, so it’s pretty straightforward. Just search for relevant keywords and set the options you like.

If you want to package software for nixpkgs, define custom options, or anything else that’s going to require custom Nix, it’s… Better than you make it sound but not great. I only read one guide, and it wasn’t great, but it covered the basics well enough. From there, I managed to figure out what I’ve needed so far just from the official documentation for the Nix language. It’s not everything it could be, but it’s not too bad.

If you wanna really get into the thick of it and extensively write Nix for some detailed purpose, you might run into some more problems. I still don’t think it’d be as bad as you make it sound, but you probably won’t be thrilled, either.

Not much else different? That’s kinda what I expected, about the same experience, just in Guile Scheme instead of Nix and with a different package repo.

How is Guix? I run NixOS right now, and I didn’t find Guix until like right after I invested all the time and effort to learn Nix. I kind of want to switch, but I also don’t really want to abandon Nix right after I learned it.

No, I think they understood. Android needs those settings because the process is automated. A Linux device would probably not automate updates like that and let users choose when to do so, which means they can just not do it until they get to WiFi.

And on Switch, it’s forbidden typically. Which is part of why people advocate for the Steam Deck instead. From Nintendo’s perspective, this very much is a vulnerability. It’s just not leading to custom firmware or ROM dumps from what I understand, so it’s not even close to the most significant vulnerability.

To be fair, this isn’t the typical bullshit “look what she was wearing, she wanted it” victim blaming. It’s like watching every single person who walks into a room get punched in the face, then walking in, getting punched in the face, and then being surprised and angry that you got punched in the face. It’s like watching people vote for Trump and then being surprised when they get fucked by his policies that he very blatantly said he would enact.

Is it right that it happened to her? Of course not. Should people have done it to her? Also of course not. Was it extremely, painfully predictable? Yeah, it unfortunately was. It may not be her fault, but… What the fuck did they think was gonna happen? They’d sell porn people actually wanted but nobody would ever ever ever save a copy because they wanted it?
