I do know why you were down-voted, maybe the swear. But yes, easy enough to stop them arrest the execs and block access to the area. All I can guess is that will happen if that com…

The US Post Office was slated to use EVs as replacements for worn out mail delivery vehicles. For many areas, especially urban areas, those would have been perfect and cheaper in t…

Or recreate it on every boot :) For example, it you are paranoid about Linux's /var/lib/dbus/machine-id file you can easily use dbus-uuidgen(1) to re-create it on shutdown.

As you now, the more $ you have the number of laws you can ignore increases. As long as Apple keeps bribing (oh I mean political contributions) the more they get away with.

Curious how the various Linux distros and *BSD will handle this. I expect the Corporate distros (RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu) will be happy to get that personal info from its users. The oth…

But keep building those data centers in the southwest /s

Lets hope it stays that way :) But if offered enough $, I fear it will join that no-bocker bandwagon.

I use noscript instead of an ad blocker. I find it blocks the intrusive ads. I do not mind what I view as normal ads (ie: text or link), but these video and popup ads drive me craz…

I personally think a good balance between tech and employees was the late 1980s. You still had to hire people to do work and tech was good enough to help them out. As tech advanced…

Just finished upgrading, went easy. Because I am using cgd(4) I find it much easier to use sysupgrade(8) from pkgsrc. I was running the R/Cs without any issues, so I am sure 11.0 w…

>Yesterday Google announced the successor: Beyond Zero It is from Google, thanks but no thanks.

I thought Rubio would be somewhat competent. I disagree with what he stands for, but he seemed smart. But this proves to me he is as dumb as the rest of the administration.

No surprise, you hire idiots you get things like this making the US look totally incompetent. We have seen things like this happen many times over the past 2 years.

So Economist is now stating Climate Change is an issue. Where was that magazine in the 80s and 90s. Oh, the were writing how fossil fuels are still a good investment and are still …

I do not see how AI could be legally used on a GPL project. But if you want to use a non-AI OS, NetBSD banned the use of AI. Maybe some of the talent will move over there. They can…
