Can't the FCC just tell them they'll be fined if they don't comply? Don't tell them how much they'll be fined. Let them make their decision, then tell them how much it will cost.

SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink
A society grows great when old men plant fiber whose speed they know they shall never download from.

Actually, the reply is from a woke person who is trying to start shit by saying woke people are false-flagging wokeness free games, so that you'll accidentally play and get indoctrinated by a woke game.

What is a good age bracket for this pile of trash I found on my land?
The Bud Light can design was introduced in 2004 and lasted until 2008. Being one of the most disposable items, I'd guess the pile was made in those years.

FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs
Reply in thread
Google also appended a 90 day disclosure policy to their reports. FFmpeg can always say , we're not going to fix that, but that would mean a security issue would be published, and letting nefarious actors act on it. Even if it would only affect 3 users, the idea that the follow up information of, "don't use FFmpeg for this use case or you'll be hacked," would be out there.
The criticism arrises from the fact Google, the multinational mega-corp, is sending these reports with the 90 day disclosure policy to a tiny unpaid team. How about the company with something like $100,000,000,000/year in net income offer a patch or two?

Good Maen. I've been pushing "maen" in my private chats for years. It's an initialism of Morning, Afternoon,Evening, Night.
I think it's pretty fetch.

How do you argue against "I have nothing to hide" in relation to privacy and security?
I'm reminded of a story I heard about a woman in South America (I don't remember the country.) Her best friend attended a protest one year. She makes a post on Facebook about supporting her best friend. A few years pass, and the government started becoming more and more authoritarian. Finally, she gets a visit from the police, asking about her ties to her best friend, and is threatened with arrest unless she can prove she's not tied to the protest as well.
I'm probably getting some details wrong, but it's a thought that stuck with me. She didn't have anything to hide at the time. But things change, and you can't always predict what you'll have wish you had kept private before.

At least in the US, companies have a legal fiduciary duty to protect their investors interests above all else.

I'd much rather "/s" than this. Though the difference may be small, this text reads as sardonic, while sarcasm may not always be meant in a mocking tone. Plus readability is important to me.

Linux is Getting a New Default Folder in Your Home Directory
Honestly I don't mind this at all.
When I start a Godot projects, putting the project into Documents makes very little sense to me.

There are currently 10 million vacant homes across the US, (15 million if you count the ones for rent,) which represents about 7.5% of the total housing. Not refuting your argument, just adding to the conversation.
I guess a lot of these are in less than desirable locations, among other factors, but 4.5 million of them are listed as seasonal, occasional, or recreational use. That's a lot of vacant housing, considering only 1.2 million of them are for sale.
Edit, I guess these are 2020 numbers so these may have changed since then.
