Didn't you know? Disabling ad blockers ensures free speech and apparently may also peacefully end the current crisis in the middle east... oh, did I mention it helps with world hunger too?

He said “Well thats what it says in the textbook so I have to mark it wrong”

The mark of a great teacher. It's nice however that he had the patience to wait for your experiment (or maybe he was expecting it to fail miserably?): no prof of mine would have went along with something like that (not to mention, I'm pretty sure we couldn't take apart the lab PCs at our leisure).

Death warrant? Maybe, but I expect companies (maybe not the EU, but - let's be frank - probably the EU too) to go back into X as soon as they feel they are done cashing in this virtue signaling.

There were plenty of reasons to leave twitter before this idiotic tweet from Musk (reasons due to twitter's action as a company, and not just Musk's drunken posts) and they were all happily tweeting and advertising.

Is this drop that breaks the camel's back? Maybe, but I wouldn't be holding my breath.

I took notes for the benefit of anyone who doesn’t like their info in video form.

I love you.

To me, saying "wayland breaks things" is putting it backwards: at this point, it should be "[thing] still doesn't work on wayland".

The title is missing a second part: "after China, the US, Russia, the UK, etc.".

I get that privacy is potentially in danger if chatcontrol passes (ie. it's not right now) and that to raise awareness is worthwhile, but misrepresenting one of the best places privacy-wise as "one of the greatest threats" is just dishonest.

User: "I have to waste my whole life fixing this" Dev: "you are complaining that you have to spend a few minutes"

Savage.

It's not like a judge said it's illegal... what happened is that a huge multinational company sent a menacing letter to a developer regarding their hobby project, and the developer —understandably— decided to comply.

Creepy tracking, less functionality than the old alternativeto.net (also less content, but of course content takes time so that's understandable), plus desperate-looking "enroll to our newsletter" and "advertise" pleads. Looks like a cheap attempt at making a couple bucks to me.

Yeah... does git have issue tracking? actions? C'mon: it's not like github & co. are just git.

capitalism in a nutshell

I must say, this whole shitshow has been pretty funny to watch :)

Its funny how podcasters and commenters seem to have taken Redhat's spin about "contributing value to the community" seriously, while to the rest of us the whole thing was obviously only about money (same as all the follow-ups from other parties... I would say "including Alma" but that would probably deserve its separate debate).

Might I add the idea that your terminal emulator must support your shell is utterly ridiculous?

Also Wave might be FOSS but if you look at the footer in their website it says it's backed by venture capital... how would you estimate the chances it gets closed, paywalled or otherwise enshittified?

Isn't the purpose getting views on youtube?

That's catchy, but not entirely true.

China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards... it's not like there's a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.

PS: Yes, "western" countries have been playing along with China's deliberate long term strategy with full awareness of where it would lead, but that's another story that is both much older and has a much broader scope than the EV industry.

Well... I'd rather say It's the only reason why we still care about Mozilla and put up with their crap :)

The really important sosftware gets ported to all the platforms

I'm shocked! ...that so far they were using whatsapp.
