It is bad because can be weaponized and give the judge a too wide area for interpretation.
Re:The electric shock behind Europe's stuttering EV future on Saturday December 07, 2024 @01:46PM (#42351827)
Forgettable as Citroen and Peugeot, for example?
I do not know if it is the same in other countries, but in Italy public sector has been used for decades by bad politicians for paying political favors, "if you bring me votes of you family I'll manage to find a job to your son", the result is an oversized apparatus of people that do not like their work, work badly (if they work at all) and try to spent time in order to arrive to payslip day. In Italy the bureaucracy is become a monster that try to justify its existence creating other bureaucracy. At least half of italian bureaucracy workers are redundant. And I'm not a supporter of the private sector at all.
Re:DNS0: The European public DNS that makes your internet safer on Tuesday February 07, 2023 @04:20PM (#34699846)
IMHO the only solution for real safety for children on internet are the parents that navigate with the child and education, any other solution is only a patch that give false security. And, above all, you're giving to other people the right to choose what is good or bad for your children. Not my way.

Some link to both proprietary and FOSS alternatives?

Thanks, Pietro.

My family is happily using only Linux since 10 years, I since 15 years ago. But there are a lot of "but", without my support (I'm a sysadmin) they could not, but half of the issues are not Linux only, so they needed support even if they were using Windows. The real question should be "why even non technical users should use Linux?" You should not give a supercar to drive to a novice driver, it could be dangerous for him and for others. Every OS has its use, maybe I'm snob, but if you're not able to manage Linux rough edges use MacOS or Windows, Linux natural environment was and should be datacenter. I won't trade server features, robustness for having a Linux desktop at all cost.
Re:Mastering Kitty Terminal on Wednesday May 04, 2022 @08:22AM (#31259452)
Wezterm (kitty too) is really a great piece of software, I use terminals 12 hours a day, but I did not spent a lot of time configure them, but this article is inspirational.

PS: kitty developer is the same developer of calibre, another beautiful software.

Sadly this is not US only issue, I'm from Italy and here is the same, very polarized view, black or white, if you're not with us you are against us. I hate this.
Re:What do you envision from the terminal of the future? on Tuesday April 19, 2022 @02:06PM (#31086617)
Yeah, me too. On Linux the copy&paste is a real pain, it depends on terminal, window manager and moon phase.
Re:Clojure and Doom Emacs on a brand new M1 computer on Tuesday April 19, 2022 @01:45PM (#31086359)
Similar project to Spacemacs, doom-emacs seems more alive recently, some people say it is faster than Spacemacs. I like both, but I never switched to them from vim.
Re:They Thought They Were Free: The Germans, 1933-45 on Saturday April 16, 2022 @01:48AM (#31049862)
Me too, it is simple to judge after the facts. In the future we will be judged the same way, and many will not understand how we could not see the catastrophic end of our journey.
Re:Show HN: Warp, a Rust-based terminal on Tuesday April 05, 2022 @05:05PM (#30925042)
Yep, I can pay money for a piece of software so important for my workflow, but no telemetry, no login and other stupid stuff even in opt-in/opt-out fashion.

I hope you are not saying this is a layperson doable setup. ;-)
Absolutely ridiculous.
Re:Google Stadia May Not Be Long for This World on Sunday February 06, 2022 @05:09AM (#30231055)
I really like the idea of using my huge steam and gog game libraries, but 0.45/h for the lowest configuration is way too expensive. I use stadia, bought some games, play a lot (hundreds of hours) and I like it, simply I'll not buy more games. I like the service, not expensive at all and ideal for my not competitive game habits. I will not be happy if the service will die.
Re:Introduction to the Sam Text Editor on Tuesday December 28, 2021 @03:58AM (#29711818)
IMHO, using spacemacs and doom-emacs (tried both) you're not really trying Emacs because you're using vim shortcuts (that I love, I'm a vim addicted) on top of Emacs infrastructure, nothing bad with this approach, but definitely you're not having an full Emacs experience. I like doom-emacs, do no use it simply because I do not like distribution for text editors (prelude, spacemacs, doom-emacs and so on).
