I would honestly love a rule banning the submission of articles that use the "slammed/blasted" headline.

Honestly, this makes it better.

I appreciate the well formatted commit message. A shame that some of the maintainers aren't interested in accepting fixes.

Copyright won't help here. Extending it to allow the protection of concepts as well as literal implementation is what Oracle tried to do, and would've resulted in a few megacorps demanding licensing for core concepts that no one can really make quality, functional software without.

Of course, software patents are also stupid, even if the general intent of patents seems reasonable.

I hope so. Room temperature superconductivity would make so many things economically viable overnight...

I'm not a fan of LPC either, but I wouldn't say he broke all of his promises.

He didn't keep them all, either.

The sooner we switch, the better off we'll be environmentally, too.

It's like everyone forgot he was busy causing constitutional chaos to avoid justice.

Maybe I'm becoming too cynical, but the raises these unions have been settling on don't really cover inflation over the periods where they received no increase.
These articles just feel like the media wings of these megacorps are trying to stroke our egos. "Yes, so much bargaining power!"

I can't find the article I'm thinking of where someone used a bunch of privately sourced data to peg the average annual inflation at 7%, but this article shows how economists don't even agree on what metrics to measure for calculating inflation.

Of course, the moment the constructive criticism is only coming from the outside will be when it gets labeled as foreign manipulation to further cement tribalistic mentality and provide fresh out-groups to hate and fear.

"The founding maintainers were perfect in every way and their vision doesn't need adjustment!"

"Their vision included the need for adjustment? Nah, that's just propaganda from trolls."

I'm worried that what they'll do is just set up hundreds of instances on various domains (not even necessarily *.facebook.com, or similar) in order to connect and scrape. Banning them would require resources and time people just can't dedicate in the way a megacorp can.

That's nice. Any chance of them deciding to return the rest of it? No?

Why not? If the meaninglessness of existence gets too hard, I can just turn myself off anyway, right?

Reddit has been undeleting posts and comments, so that's probably not going to work.

Public Mobile is a Telus brand, FYI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Mobile

What, you don't like smoothbrained out-of-touch takes about an entire generation based on the transparent dictate of global property holdings companies?

Old Souls in Young Bodies™ my ass. People are going low-tech to escape pervasive panopticon and the endless stream of fake fucking people and conspiracy peddlers.

Any time I read these broad-brush generation articles, I have to hold my eyes still to avoid setting my skull on fire with frictive heating.

I wrote my MP once in 2021 regarding the reversal of the wholesale broadband rates. Specifically, about how the Vice-Chair of Telecommunications sat down with the President of Bell Media for some beers at a sports game to discuss things after the 2019 court rulings upheld the existing rules set by the Commission.

The result, of course, was a change to the rules.

You're not going to get a real answer from your MPP, just a staffer tasked with boilerplating out an email that could conceivably be construed as an answer to your question/complaint.

I don't know anything about the Netherlands' civic structure, but if it's anything like the model spread around by the British, then they were probably staring down the barrel of a no-confidence vote, which would effectively end the same way.
