Ironically, my cars don’t run Linux for the same reason my computers do: I’m militant about protecting my property rights and privacy, so I refuse to have any car new enough to have “infotainment” because it’s all closed-source and Tivoized. It’s effectively hostile, despite the Linux kernel at the bottom of it.
I’ll buy a car made after the mid-2000s when I can re-flash the whole thing with non-DRM’d community-supported software, and not a minute before.
Even in her incoherent nonsense she somehow manages to engage in projection, with the bullshit notion that Democrats (instead of Republicans) would want to suppress voter turnout.
Aren’t these guys supposed to be tech geniuses or some shit?
Rich/famous tech people have never been “tech geniuses.” They’re always sociopathic business/marketing types.
I mean, that’s been obvious since Microsoft bought it.
But this is really more about how emulator devs ought to accept that Nintendo is going to try to persecute them and start keeping themselves anonymous to avoid being ruined by lawsuits, even though what they’re doing is neither illegal nor unethical.
Showing off your tattoos is kinda doxxing yourself. A weird choice for a !privacy post…
In the long run, shit like this is theft from the Public Domain.
In other words, Japan apparently hates property rights.
Gimp 3 is amazing.
Found the time traveler!
(The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)
It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.
If he succeeds in using it as a propaganda platform to force the US into a fascist dictatorship, he will have gotten his money’s worth.
You know what’s really fucked up? The concept of “corporate personhood” that Citizens United depends upon was invented wholesale by a goddamn clerk! The Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad Co. decision itself didn’t actually address the issue; the clerk just wrote a headnote “assuming” that the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment applied to corporations for ~reasons~ and subsequent courts treated as if it were gospel.
The annoying thing is that they held us hostage for our free labor, but the results are proprietary for Google’s benefit only.
That training data ought to be forced to be made freely available to the public, since we’re the ones who actually created it.
I feel like the Site Isolation and Total Cookie Protection features eliminated one of the major use-cases for Multi-Account Containers, and that might be why it isn’t getting enough attention.
“Genera” is a plural form of “genus” (i.e. also “type,” but in the fancy scientific sense used in taxonomy).
Not only did I haul drywall home in a minivan, I even had the foresight to buy a couple of 2x4s to act as rails to slide it on so the edges wouldn’t get chewed up by the rounded rear hatch opening.
I mean, If we’re talking about imposing vigilante justice on criminal corporate execs, I guess I’m down with that too.
No it is not the correct answer! The correct answer is to put the CEOs who perpetrate this criminal shit in prison for millions of counts of hacking and stalking!
Merely shrugging and implementing a technological workaround is not an appropriate response to someone perpetrating a felony against you!
These are criminal violations of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Jail the motherfucking felon CEOs!
None of that is a substitute for government regulation. They must be forced to comply.
Linux is not a real-time OS*. For a car ECU, something like Speeduino would be a more appropriate choice.
