Re:China blocks Wikimedia Foundation’s accreditation to WIPO on Friday September 25, 2020 @10:11AM (#24589885)
I imagine this article doesn’t include the whole story and is probably biased. Perhaps China was more specific about whatever Wikimedia did.

Is this true?

I’m astonished by the amount of people who choose to leak code on 4chan.

It is. 50% of youth unemployment in Spain for example.

That’s interesting, thank you.
I said freer, not completely free.

And by free I mean the amount of people who currently use for example WhatsApp, which allows us to freely communicate with others. Even my mother is using it! Ten years ago she hadn’t touched any kind of tech.

There are many things you can’t post online because you’d get in trouble.

No we can’t.

Re:Discovery of a druggable pocket in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein on Wednesday September 23, 2020 @12:12PM (#24568647)
I don’t understand the sarcasm. Those resources cost Oracle money, and they give them for free to researchers. A mention in return is very reasonable.
You are comparing European culture to Anglo culture. That’s pears to oranges. Not saying one is better than the other, but they work differently.
For context Android 10 was released over a year ago.

In the meantime countries such as Spain “enjoy” 50% unemployment of the young.

Not more intimidating than occupying someone else’s property, I guess.
From the article it seems they are a pro immigration group that is mostly bothered by the collaboration with ICE

Fibre deployments are very expensive; very often it makes no sense whatsoever to deploy fibre, especially to rural communities.
Define disproportionate. Is it not proportionate to the number of citizens?
When I saw Doom 2016 running on OpenGL I was shocked. I would’ve never thought you could write an AAA game with it. It made me wonder why game developers use DX instead.

Where I am there are more isps that support pcp than isps that support ipv6 at all (zero)
Re:Creating a Home IPv6 Network on Monday September 21, 2020 @07:25AM (#24542061)
Which is why I said pcp. It helps to read the comment.

...or upnp and pcp, which work out of the box.

How sexist. Women are as a strong as men and should not be treated like babies.

I’ve got a microphone with a physical kill switch and when turned off it still leaks like a sieve. Be careful with those switches.

Re:Getting rid of the Google cookie consent popup on Friday September 18, 2020 @11:27AM (#24517994)
It is technically a popup, but the video gets paused as long as it’s open.

YouTube has been annoying me much lately (especially when all videos start playing at low quality for the few first seconds) but this really is the last straw. Unfortunately all videos on the internet are there. So all I can do about it is bark here. Woof woof.
