Nazi warcrimes were punished retroactively for a number or reasons, political and not. One of the most important ones was that what the Nazis did was blatanly wrong. You can't seriously claim that killing millions of…
I don't think you've read my reply correctly. If a law were to come out that said "you can't sell any more X unless it complies with Y" we would still have billions of devices that don't comply with Y. So even if a law…
What's the point of that? One of the benefit of having a FOSS platform is that you can keep supporting and updating hardware and software that in the normal proprietary economy would have been abandoned a mere few years…
Are all laws retroactive? The EU has now mandated the use of USB-C, does that mean I can bring my iPhone 4 to Apple and have them solder the new port?
What is done is done. Even if some piece of legislation were to come out tomorrow all the older devices would still be completely closed off. Would we have to collectively just push to move to the new open-by-default…
It seems to me that what the FOSS world needs in order to succeed is an extreme push towards forming a class of programmers specialized in reverse engineering. We already have plenty of capable coders who have written…
Are you seriously telling me you expect an ARM board running mainline Linux to play virtualized Android games? This is beyond beyond disingenuous, is somebody paying you to write this or what?
It can play 4k videos and it can play games, but expecting it to play 4k videos through an unoptimized browser with DRM and play virtualized games is extremely disingenuous.
Don't you think there's a difference between "it's annoying I can't watch full blown movies on this experimental phone" and "it's garbage because no Netflix"?
So you backed a developer-oriented project all about open source software and your test to see if it was garbage or not is to consume proprietary video content and play video games through virtualization?
>unproductive tell me more about how updating your car's UI overnight can make you more productive
>you can update the UI of a car with a touchscreen but not one with buttons A car is a dependable tool. Changing the UI during a car's lifetime is dangerous and unprofessional. I'd say the same is true for smartphones…
Where have I implied that "conservative" means "racist"? If they meant the same to me I could have just written "conservative" instead of specifying "racist"
The moment you have a publicly facing API you are saying "these are the rules to talk to us". It doesn't matter what the client is, if it follows the rules then it should work. A website is a publicly facing API and if…
Discord clients can't magically implement features that the Discord API doesn't have. The only thing they can do is personalize the experience locally, maybe by changing the interface or implementing more comfortable…
I was at a phone repair shop and a guy came in saying he got hacked because when he did "something" a new thing popped up that was different from the one he wanted. Turned out he just upgraded Android to the next…
We still don't have a free software feature phone that has the same polish as bottom of the barrel flip phones from 20 years ago. I have a PinePhone and I'm seriously asking myself how much time it will take to get an…
It's such a bummer that they use a convoluted platform such as fandom.com to host their stuff. It's borderline unsearchable
>the benefits of writing it have to be elsewhere. In the satisfaction of a job done well. In the beauty and elegance of the code. The timeless perfection. or, more realistically and less rose tintedly, people want to…
I started reading the article and was bored out of my mind. But then the author told me these weren't simple cutting techniques I have already used over and over for decades, but japanese cutting techniques. Naturally…
You replied to a "what" question with "yes", it seems to me you haven't actually understood neither the point I was making in my first post nor my question.
Buddy, what has that got to do with my reply? lol
Yes, you are very lucky to live unbothered in a nice farm in an ideal place that with warmer climates will become even better agriculturally. Now, I don't know if you've noticed, but the world is not entirely made up if…
Now add a political researcher to the group and see that percentage drop rapidly
