The text you quoted does not seem to convey any displeasure at the law. Think what you like. > This added step is informed by Why so passive? Why not "required by" ? > We’ve built …

They aren't required to disclose any DMCA removals, but choose to anyway, citing the law by name. Pointing out that a law is requiring them to do something is the least anybody can…

If they want us to believe they're displeased at this requirement, why don't they say so? Google has certainly complained and protested about other laws before. > In response to mu…

The "Five Eyes" anglosphere establishment uses Australia as a testbed for authoritarian measures that may later be implemented in the others.

A simple "the law requires us to" somewhere in that quote would have gone a long way to convey displeasure at their arm being twisted. But nothing in that quote suggests any arm tw…

If I've learned anything from countless gun control debates online, it's that laughing at your opposition for misusing technical terminology is the best way to win a debate.

Serbs are still mad NATO interrupted their genocide?

No of course not, animals are soulless automatons without any relatable emotion or reason that humans could ever perceive let alone understand. Anybody who thinks otherwise is just…

You can execute zsh scripts from a fish command line, or any other. Where is the problem?

There are several feature comparison tables for numerous shells here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_command_shells

I think POSIX compliance of interactive shells is completely irrelevant. POSIX shells are relevant when you're writing scripts that will be distributed, but there's no reason that …

If a game isn't relevant enough to port to new hardware, is it really relevant enough to benchmark with?

Agreed, it's very unbecoming.

I wonder if somewhere out there on the web there's an architect forum where architects are whining about wheelchair ramps like the webdevs in these discussions always seem to.

freedns.afraid.org is another popular one.

For the few years in college I was living off campus, I never paid for internet at all. Cracking WEP was that easy.

I used to have a hard time remembering apropos because I assumed 'apropos' was some sort of unixy mincing of another word or abbreviation or something, and I couldn't figure out wh…

Imagine trying to sell this premise to somebody 50 years ago. > It's a toaster, just like the one you already have on your counter, except it won't work unless you give the manufac…

> It can't be turned on remotely unless I press a button on the oven itself, and even then it'll only allow it once. That it's possible at all suggests that the oven is only one ba…

Which kind? 'Hypersonic' is a speed regime, not a technology in itself. Hypersonic cruise missiles are not in the purview of ballistic missile defense, unless they have a ballistic…

It's worse than this. While money does not flow from Mozilla Foundation to Mozilla Corporation, the opposite is not true. A lot of the money that Mozilla Corporation manages to mak…

That's not how things work, at all . Ballistic missile defense is meant to reduce the number of nuclear warheads that make it through, not eliminate the threat entirely. Extant bal…

Might want to take "OODA Loop" out of the title since the article has nothing to do with OODA Loops, which in this context apparently is just the name of the website (rather than t…

It's not redrawing/resizing with a GUI that's the matter, it's the whole of it . TUIs are easy to create without much investment in learning a whole GUI system.

> But then creating TUIs now require as much complexity as creating single window GUIs (requiring handling events outside the program) No way dude. All you need to do is catch SIGW…
