Re:RISC-V Laptop now available on Tuesday October 04, 2022 @06:25PM (#33087941)
My problem with this laptop isn't with it's pricing but with who's selling it. If it was Asus or some other reputable OEM, I think I would have bought it.

I've had extremely poor experiences with some Chinese OEMs in the past and I'm not risking 1500 with unproven OEMs unless I have to.

The only browser that allows me to use any addon I want. I'll continue to use it until Mozilla fulfill their promise and allow me to load any addon I want.

Fitness for use trumps security.

I wouldn't have been able to for that emergancy bill specifically. I would have used cash.

However had I had more time to liquidate my crypto, I definitely would have used crypto. I know two people wouldn't mind buying my crypto with traditional currency.

Hear, hear!

I once was denied access to my own money over a very long weekend during which a bill popped up that I had to settle immediately. I ultimately ended up borrowing money from my family.

The reason for the denail turned out to be a clerical mistake.

The feeling of dread I experienced thanks to this tought me to always kept a small stash of cryptocurrency (and cash!) for situations like this.

In the age of uncaring mega corporations and unaccountable governments, having money not controllable by either is a necessity.

This thread wouldn't make much sense if your proverbial red line was already crossed, now would it ;)
It's not denial so much as it is not caring to the point where you get upset. I think that's the strength of mind that GP is referring to.
Isreal has a well established history of not honoring treaties so I don't see why Arab countries would be expected to honor their end of the deal.

The Palestinians will probably do the right thing and preserver until the israelis cross yet another red line. Let's just hope - for the israelis sake - that they don't cross a line to far.

Guess the israelis are doing their darnest to get them to try a fourth time.

But it's leaps and bounds more private than any VPN including this (no shade on these guys, if I ever need a VPN that isn't tor, I'll choose them). E

To me, comparing tor's privacy features against normal VPN is like comparing a jet plane to a tricycle

Applicants specify their preferred time slots in decending order and the government agency chooses the time. This is how the my country does it.
I'd take a shitty ui over a shiny ui backed by an unpredictable algorithm any day.

That people would prioritize ui and initial setup costs over payment processing reliability is insane to me.

Re:Bubblewrap: Unprivileged sandboxing tool for Linux on Monday March 28, 2022 @03:24AM (#30828025)
I really wish bubblewrap had a way to mount filesystems as copy-on-write instead of read-only.

Having ways to impose limits on memory would be nice too.

The problem here is offering monetary incentives. Purposefully or not, I'm sure judges would hand out a lot more fines if they got a cut out of it.
Gice users a toggle. Give users the ability to choose whether they want sensored results or not. That would fix so many problems with slight tech and media.

Give us a fucking choice!

Perhaps gp could have worded it a bit more kindly, but I think there is value in calling out people who espouse opinions without having sufficient knowledge to back it up. It's people like this who degrade and limit useful discourse.

My heart goes out to op and everyone else who has been unfairly effected by this conflict.
