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 seri…

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…

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 wou…

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 pus…

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 plen…

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 t…

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…

>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…

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"

How can a server know I'm using a different client if all the features are implemented? The condition that you may not use a third party client cannot be imposed by the API but is …

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 w…

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 interf…

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 j…

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…

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 an…

Usually if something is being eroded you check what chemicals the erosion releases. If you cook on a pan and you don't analyze the contents of the fumes you are totally responsible…

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 j…

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.

You are strawmanning an opinion about a single metric. Sure, molds are great for the environment! Molds in your lunchbox? not so much. You have built a whole narrative out of spars…
