Can you still buy them? They’ve disappeared from Amazon in the last year or so.

LG’s Windows drivers were doing that. LG deserves the blame and can’t be trusted, but ditto for Windows itself.

The fucked up part is that “expertise” is assumed to be exclusively found in the industry being regulated. Bill Gates is a respected industry expert, but RMS is just some dumbfuck nobody because he’s not “in the industry”.

Unconscionable bunk. It’s illegal anyway, just like how you can’t sign a contract to sell yourself into slavery.

If the courts won’t enforce it, vigilantes should.

That just sounds like a good way to destroy index funds.

Go look up “tivoization”. GPLv2 isn’t enough to protect you from this shit.

I mean… logistically it would be more efficient if we all just recycled regardless, and then the polluters paid for the processing.

Logistically it would be more efficient if we went back to having bottle deposits (and expanded it to include other types of containers) so that the packaging would be picked up and reused, not recycled.

Very popular this time of year.

My city’s public pools close at the beginning of August for some stupid-ass reason.

Yep. When I say “I use Keepass” what I actually mean is “I use KeepassXC, Macpass, KeepassDX, etc. depending on which OS I’m on at the time” and AFAIK none of those are actually made by the original Keepass developer.

No, he shouldn’t have switched to Bitwarden. Why the fuck do people keep recommending cloud shit instead of Keepass?

I don’t know where this weird trope of thinking Keepass is somehow obsolete or inferior came from, because it isn’t.

However, not everyone believes that. It is not fair to claim a monopoly and ostracize team members who might disagree with you.

Karimov is definitely telling on himself there. If you think it’s “not fair” to ostracize racists, you’re a motherfucking racist!

1Password is now outed as a NAZI organization. Period.

Suing doesn’t matter; the voting will have been over and the disenfranchisement incurable.

They’re daring us to try and stop them by force, in order to invoke the exception in the law another commenter cited. They want to pretend that us trying to stop their coup makes us the “armed enemies of the United States” instead of them.

This is the consequence of failing to prosecute Trump for Jan 6.

I was thinking more in terms of replying to the comments within threads, rather than the posts themselves. But yeah, I guess you’ve got a point that the number of comments under a post might influence its position in some types of feeds.

At this point there’s only one step left.

In my experience, [proprietary] projects are doing well if their Makefile isn’t so broken that they have to run it twice just to make sure everything actually compiles. And you want them to actually optimize it…?!

I just watched the LTT video about DLSS 5, and the main thought I had was “never mind making questionable changes to these already very high fidelity games; what would happen if you tried to apply it to some old game, like Morrowind or Half-Life?” (In other words, some game that both (a) actually needs graphics improvements, and (b) runs at so high a framerate that you can afford to cut it in half.)

That may be an explanation, but it isn’t an excuse.

To be clear, I’m writing from a Lemmy/Reddit/Slashdot perspective. Maybe on Mastodon/Twitter (or, dog forbid, Facebook) it’s different, but I wouldn’t know because I’ve never used that shit.

How does a project literally named “.NET” manage to fuck up so bad as to need WINE instead of just Mono?
