How is making Facebook pay for user-posted news links a good idea?

Should every instance this post shows up on pay the WSG for this link? Should there be piracy charges for the use of the archive service?

When you design an OS to pretend there's no such thing as a file, it ends up being bad at handling files.

If you figure out how to do something in the terminal, you've got an 80% chance of that technique still working in a decade. If you learn how to do it in the GUI, your chances in a decade are more like 10%.

Oracle a company to actively avoid doing business with or realying on in any way.

Spend the $5 for a commodity VPS from literally any standard vendor. I suggest Vultr.

Yes, posts you make to public forums are public.

"The Matrix" was released closer in time to the French Revolution than to today.

I've got a couple VPSes, hosting

• Mailcow, because email is identity.
• Asterisk, because phone #s are also identity.
• Matrix-Synapse, for personal messaging even though XMPP is probably better.
• ttrss, even though it's junk software with a jerk developer.
• A bunch of self-developed web apps

Self hosting email is obnoxious, but it's also one of the only remnants of the traditional distributed internet that's still broadly accepted.

Obviously. What sort of moron wouldn't be prepared to defend themselves from angry bees or whatever Pooh was afraid of.

Or you know. Lemmy!!

Until Canada tries to enforce this law against Lemmy instances.

Seems easy to implement. Code it up and submit a pull request.

Imagine for a moment that you were running a web design business and an intolerant church group requested that you build a God Hates Gays website for them. Should Mississippi be able to have a a law that compels you to build that website or be liable for discriminating against a protected group, or should that law be unconstitutional under a compelled speech argument?

The lessons of the 20th century have mostly been forgotten. Re-learning them is going to be very expensive - not just in money, but in lives.

The Kia Niro is pretty close, although if you're really serious about making it dumb you'll need to pull the cellular modem. It doesn't depend on any internet services, but it does connect to the internet to get nearby charger data.

Like, with vim?

I stopped dual booting long ago. If a game doesn't work on Linux, I find it much easier and more fun to simply do something else. At this point, the threat of losing my browser tabs would be enough inconvenience to dissuade me, and I generally have quite a bit more active state than that on my computer that would be lost with a reboot.

Before I gave up on Windows gaming I did use a dedicated machine with a KVM switch for a while. But even that simply stopped seeing enough use to justify it.

I haven't gotten a good chance to re-evaluate the PinePhone recently, but aside from that Android is basically the only option out there.

bash$ :(){ :|:& };:

I tried doing a Mastodon user migration (to a Pleroma instance), and it basically just didn't' work. This is one of those thing where the code is likely to rot from lack of testing.

You're the asshole to the normal extent that anyone who makes an excuse to skip a party is an asshole.

That being said, a party thrown by someone who is trying to be conspicuously wealthy is an excuse to drink for free, so skipping it is kind of lame.

Is there some reason that wall won't work fine?
