Without books, what books are they going to read?

- E-Books smell awful.

- It's fun to collect, to look at what you have.

- You can remember the books, by looking at your shelves.

- You /actually/ own something, instead of some random variable in Jeff Bezos' database saying you are /allowed to/ read it.

Gah I’m switching to TMUX.

I think most people who even know the difference between x11 and Wayland are much more privacy conscious then those who don’t. 0% of people going out of their way to jump through all the hoops to get plasma working on x11 would ever opt in to such metrics.

There is a difference between things being supported and the absence of things not being supported…
why would you want this?
I'm sorry but the only thing that truly understands TeX, is, and will forever be, TeX.
That's awesome!

Migrated my website away from 11ty to my own code today, after reading this. Took me about 45 minutes writing a program generating the exact same result. Honestly, I don't think software should be perpetually maintained. The problem with all these things is people want to much.

> Defeats the point of sandboxing

Sandboxing defeats the point of said applications. If you want your computer to have no functionality, check out Figma. A clickable prototype sounds like precisely the security the world needs right now.

They probably don't even expect 4chan to pay up - they just want them gone.
The GDPR is about your data being handled overseas.

OFCOM&co is about overseas data going to you.

I'm not really sure if the author (i.e. generative language model) is being serious or being sarcastic...
That is authoritarianism. Indeed, you have a valid point, except that communism in fact only is an economic theory and does not implicate anything on other areas of government. There is no difference between a capitalist authoritarian and a communist authoritarian except that a communist actually has a story (i.e. a fairy-tale) to sell to their people.
so much for the rule of law, I guess...
> drove its founding

IMO drove its funding.

Why should they be? The most common argument against communism is "my dad told me communism is bad" but perhaps you have a better reasoning against it?

How can a child get any experience, if they are only ever exposed to perfect make-believe fairyland?
