Egypt, Chinese, Phoenicians, Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, Ancient Israelites, Sumerians, Mayan, Incan and a host of others predated the Romans and documented the process only to …

Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but the facts on the ground are that the constitution is broken all the time without anyone being punished enough to stop them from doing it ag…

Some parts of government should be immutable, and putting safeguards to ensure constants are constant makes a lot of sense to me.

Instead of just getting these shutdown how about an opposing act which puts penalties for lobbyists and politicians who back this kind of thing? I don't want to keep fighting zombi…

Adobe is now blocked from the networks I control. A page pops up with links to Inkscape, Gimp and other open source alternatives.

It would be poetic justic if he did, and it merely inconvenienced him, rather than having him brutalized. I walk out if I am not seen within 20 minutes of my appointment and drop t…

Swapping the blue circle for black would give them the alignment they seek. Filling the full circle so there is no gap between would be a nice step as well.

Embrace, join the open source community, and buy github. Extend, add exclusive features private repositories which do not notify copywrite holders when packages use copyleft softwa…

"sponsor-only repositories, that is, private repositories that only sponsors will get access to" is this open source? Will this help open source? I don't believe so. This fragments…

Ah, the old appeasement trap. The censormongers who demanded their collection leave Spotify aren't going to come back now that Spotify has caved. And the people who wanted Spotify …

When you are the best person on the project. Use the project to learn from your coworkers. Other times to quit: When risk of failure is a career stain, and success does not mean pr…

Precovid pandemic, yes. Coffee shops, music gigs, gaming at the local gaming cyber cafes, board games at semi local shop, meetups for coding, meetups for electronics. PostCovid, no…

People are weird. A person shooting random npcs in GTA likely isn't a murderer in real life, and someone that does awful things to a bot probably isn't a documented sex offender. W…

What happens to React if Meta disappears? Will it limp along or is it disconnected enough to continue improving without Facebook Meta?

Most any Craptop will do, but one with a styless is better for drawing. Install 1. GCompris 2. Gimp, Inkscape 3. Rosegarden 4. https://github.com/commanderx16/x16-emulator/ Don't i…

I believe it will. This is not a rejection of right to repair. Farmers with tractors they cannot fix and electronics in landfills outweigh the cost to business, but it is troubleso…

Without right to repair we throw away the first two "R"s in reduce, reuse, and recycle. Unfortunately right to repair allows competitors including patent ignorers to duplicate, dec…
