It's a store. Profit and greed are a huge factor in what the internet has become. We used to have people paying for hosting so they could provide information to the public for free. Now every fucking moron wants to make money by making 'content', it predates AI, by a lot.

We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

Any windows fanboy cares to explain how this supposedly enhances a user's security?

The spin on requiring an internet connection being phrased as 'ensures all users exit setup with internet connectivity' is amazing too.

Its an incredibly pro US biased instance despite not being hosted in the US and having a .world domain.

Greatest hits are [email protected] forbidding non-US topics and of course [email protected] and its bias check bot according to which every non US media is left wing biased.

Your coach is a moron. Don't take his stupid advice.

Is your opinion that advocating for jury nullification would constitute some violation of Dutch, Finnish or German law based on legal advice?

As long as a standard "unblessed" usb-c cable will work fully with the phone it's non-issue.

It should then refrain from from posting on non US-media sources and/or stories and/or communities.

Of course it won't. It's purpose is to promote it's owners US-centric political window.

It's spamming political propaganda ,dressing it up as 'facts', and it's getting it's just deserts.

Nope he is just a rich spoiled manchild on cocaine.

He is not even sabotaging his competition. Starship is supposed to be part of the program and despite the spin will not be ready.

So he wants to cancel the program that has real deadlines so he can keep promising he will colonize Mars in the next 5 years, which he has been claiming for some time now.

Does not get you control, this is just the government giving money to big corporations which is perfectly in line with actual capitalism (as.practiced, not the fairy tale version).

Real capitalists will also have no problem with the government taking over a failing company, paying off it's debts and later selling it at a loss to them.

No DRM digital files downloads is the simple answer. There is no reason to go back to physical media to avoid subscriptions.

Keep in mind that DVDs did have DRM and the corps did try and get at the people who broke it. A new and improved physical media would have DRM and it's possible the corporations will prevent it being defeated this time.

Which means that yoy would only be able to play it on approved hardware. You can have your shiny disc but they will decide if you can play it. Perhaps they can detect how many people are present via a camera or require you do drink that verification can.

Probably froze and is trying to keep ua macho persona

It's not overcorrection, they simply learned the wrong lesson from WW2: "Don't mess with the Jewish" instead of "Don't be pro genocide." It's also been a long time since then and the consequences they suffered.

If right wingers can like Rage against the Machine and be surprised they are not right wing or apolitical, NGE is way too subtle for them.

It just looks brighter to the point it could be different gamma settings.

There is a bigger brightness range in the top screenshot the bottom looks washed out.

(b) If an application last updated with updates on or after January 1, 2026, was downloaded to a device before January 1, 2027, and the developer has not requested a signal with respect to the user of the device on which the application was downloaded, the developer shall request a signal from a covered application store with respect to that user before July 1, 2027.

(f) “Developer” means a person that owns, maintains, or controls an application.

1798.503. (a) A person that violates this title shall be subject to an injunction and liable for a civil penalty of not more than two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500) per affected child for each negligent violation

So a developer of a FOSS application that gets installed on a device on California via a 3rd party app store (maybe F-droid) must have implemented a query to the OS for this data. Even if the app does not actually provide any inappropriate content or actually any content.

Nor does it matter if he is involved in the distribution of the app to California, a FOSS app redistributed via a 3rd party (F-droid maybe) would make the developer subject to this.

What a lot of right wing preppers and a lot of 'militia' guys (the tacticool heavy infantry kind) seem to completely lack is the willingness to be inconvenienced at all.

They buy or craft whatever stuff seems cool to them (some of which sure can actually be quite useful), train some skills they find fun to do (usually shooting/hunting) but most seem to ignore anything they don't like, find difficult or uninteresting to do (such as keeping reasonably fit). It also usually includes being willing to take orders or cooperate.

The lack of some skills/equipment/preparation could be overcome but not with the mentality that lead to it on the first place.

EU countries need to start making plans to remove us bases by force and destroy any US forces if necessary.

They will be patched. There is also no indication that they 'be been known and exploited till recently.

This was allegedly deliberately non patched to be exploited.

Getting a system without bugs and security issues is impossible, you can at least avoid intentional compromise.

Price per GB is at normalized 2007 levels. However that's a useless metric as the amount of RAM required to run average computing tasks is much greater.
