'The more I see of what you call civilisation, the more highly I think of what you call savagery.'

  • A kernel level anticheat is basically spyware in all but name and stated benign purpose. This if true is getting on the malware territory. Like who is responsible on the case of false positives.

  • Not such a bad idea actually. It's not like Tinder or any other such platform want anybody to find a partner, because that would make them lose a customer/product. They just want maximum engagement on their own app, so everybody else but them loses. While it's silly of course, but this is one of those things where public option would be good.

  • Pay my electric bill. Make no mistakes. Do not hallucinate.

    Oh nononono :D

  • Didn't pypi have the worm too recently?

    Also I have no idea why npm is worse offender than most? Is it that the install scripts can you execute any code they want?

  • The sand that Taiwan uses to make it's silicon wafers mostly comes from China

  • Nowhere an average police officer is willing to die for a random civilian on the job, that's true. Also the profession pulls "a certain personality type" amongst it's ranks no matter where you are. But US policing really is something else and a clear outlier. I look at France and their singling out of immigrants and actions of the riot police. They are still really fucking tame when it comes to how I see US police and how trigger happy, sadistic, cultish and seeming unaccountable they are.

  • It's daily 3-5h outage at this point on all youtube channel feeds. About 3:00-7:00 AM Greenwich time.

  • Do note that while police historical existence is about property rights, the police have no legal obligation to protect any single individual is mainly an US and common law thing. While most of the worlds police have no duty to take a bullet for you, in majority of the world police still have an legal obligation to help anybody in need. At least when on duty and answering an distress call, in some places even off duty in a crisis situation. USA really is an outlier and their relationship between police and the public are especially antagonistic.

  • New missile gap?

    Also it's more that US munition stockpiles are running dry, drainage rate is increasing and their restoration will take years even if they would stop all their wars now. It's not DPRK arming massively, if they are closing the gap with strike ability.

  • Most of the federal budget I recall is from oil income.

  • More important question is how you'll fight it? Protest nicely? I seriously see no other option beside popular counter assassination campaign.

  • I seriously hate the term "hybrid war", both Russian and western uses of the word, which are the same btw. It has serious blame other for what you constantly do to them vibes in it.

  • I still have only vague ideas what they even are and do and why they are special. Yeah, marketing, data brokering, spying, PR, social engineering, propaganda, but then how does that differ from Meta and Google.

  • The federal government is no longer the largest spender in R&D: It funded about 40% of basic research in 2022, while the business sector performed roughly 78% of U.S. R&D. While not a problem in itself, industry has simultaneously withdrawn from open scientific publication over the past four decades, shifting from research toward development. The result is a shrinking pool of openly shared scientific knowledge precisely as public investment in it also contracts.

    In US research spending has pretty much served to manufacture monopolies and patents for wallstreet and if they land onto something major, they can then proceed to collect royalties from the world for next X decades. You generally can't patent a new law of nature or something, so of course they shift away from basic research. Too bad the engineering and other sciences need that groundwork too.

  • Historically "retirement" was not a thing, you just moved to lighter tasks. People only really stopped working when they no longer physically and mentally could.

    The thing you say about rich old fossils and cold war relics running the west, is a problem though. Their age isn't per se the issue, them being out of touch pillars of the status quo and being generally oppressive is.

  • 5d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your work need not make them do so.

    I don't get where do they come with the logos and branding. While it's fair and just to give credit. I would understand this section as permission (if they were really mean about it) to leave any and all pages out of the fork and it wouldn't bind them to even have any UI attributions, to anybody, but if they have something like about or license page then that should contain licenses and attributions? That is as long as the work has reasonable attributions somewhere. Or does the license limit modification in those parts of the UI code? I don't think it does. I could be wrong.

  • The "Do nothing. Win" meme is in actuality a reference to Daoist concept of "wu wei", which is translated something like 'non-action', 'effortless action' or 'action without forcing it'. You just stay in your lane, keep going and victories big and small fall onto your lap. America is the one who is blundering around and supplying China easy wins.
