Because when you are in a country, you are subject to it’s jurisdiction. Can you be arrested for petty crimes? Yes? Then you’re under that country’s jurisdiction.
Do remember that without the government, there very literally would be no forty-hour work week. Individuals don’t have the same bargaining power as employers, not by a long-shot.
Every piece chipped off of our right to privacy and freedom from surveillance is another strike against civil society; it normalizes data-collection further and gives any government contractors (Palantir et. al) a…
The issue is, you can’t solve social problems with technology alone. The most challenging problems for our species (inequality, starvation, homelessness, etc) are social, after all. And we don’t have the incentives nor…
The seeming ubiquity is definitely new.
Unless you’re the type who wants their HTML to be valid XHTML! :^)
You’re missing the point: These poll watchers made things up about what they saw, kicking off a media circus – which would’ve happened even if the system was different, because it is distinct from reality. The one at…
This kind of gatekeeping isn’t about knowledge (which is free and should be freely shared — basic hacker ethic), but about social standing.
If the critics don’t respond to facts or data, what makes you think they will once you “secure” the election? Even those recounts after the 2020 election — which found no substantial fraud — did nothing to convince…
The USA is pretty dang diverse, and definitely mixed. That mixing is a core part of it’s culture and history, actually. And now, the country that mixed (USA) is stronger than the Old World that didn’t (Europe). Which is…
> cede your land to some other people who will This is an insane way to frame immigration reform. It isn’t “ceding” anything, it just means being OK that not every single person you know is the same race. Having some…
For one, this article doesn’t claim that immigration increases overall crime. Secondly, the article hints at a sampling bias we have run into before, during the Syrian refugee crisis: Immigrants are not more likely…
> the deep psychological truths about human tribalism … that the races should keep to themselves? Yea, I’m going to have to disagree on this one. This was pretty handily disproven by the New World. Mixing, sharing,…
Crime-rates going up + Immigrants being no more likely to commit crimes = There is no causality
> crime rate hikes. No, not really. Broadly, immigration has no effect on crime-rates. In case-study after case-study, it’s shown immigration has little to no impact on crime-rates. This was even disproven after the…
You could block the default DoH services for Firefox, I reckon.
I think it was sarcasm.
s/[Cc]yclists/drivers/g You have crazy bikers, and you have crazy drivers. I’ve seen way more of one in my life, and that one’s definitely more dangerous.
20 minutes? Try an hour!
No, not really. You know what to think about because you were trained to by coding through the problem by hand. If you stop doing that, you stop learning the specifics of whatever problem domain you work with.
I think it’s still cool enough to get the OS running in the first place; and there’s still novelty in using something for a purpose completely unexpected, even if the last few steps are cookie-cutter.
That doesn’t exactly instill confidence, honestly…
I have a Sharp Zaurus SL-5500 I’ve wanted to get running a modern kernel for a while. Ah, I always regretted not getting on the CL’s with this kind of support!
Unfortunately, a lot of this behavior is very common in online communities generally. Addicts or mentally ill folk with no outlet offline take it online to some authority member in the community, or really anyone who…
… no, you shouldn’t use AI for simple reformatting of code without the newlines. We have syntax parsers and reformatters for this. Use them, then put that into the LLM for commenting, if you really want to.
