I think it’s rather common for them to coordinate so many of them get to vote in favor of a popular bill, but enough of them miss it or break ranks with the party that ooooh darn, we just weren’t able to meet the threshold. Like here. If every AIPAC-funded Democrat “coincidentally” misses it, they risk turning the eye of the whole nation towards AIPAC, but if they coordinate just enough to missing to fail, we… Have this conversation instead.

I’ve been meaning to set up something similar. I really don’t feel like dealing with reliable delivery, but I also don’t want to give my plentiful incoming mail to someone just so I can send like 5 emails a year.

To be totally fair, and I do not like being fair to Pete Hegseth, awarding the medal is pretty clearly an implicit admission that he was wrong and the soldier was right.

He should still publicly and directly admit that, though.

Yep, keep that in mind next time Republicans are lamenting how underfunded it is and how they may just have to make some cuts. They’d rather old and disabled folks die on the streets than tax the rich more.

Sell out

Quasimodo

Don’t do big Quas like that, he doesn’t deserve to be compared to this shit stain.

My understanding is that relicensed code still needs to abide by certain terms of the original license. This usually means something like leaving a copyright notice required by the original license, as anything much more than that often has some term that conflicts with GPL or forbids relicensing. In essence, your code is arguably subject to both licenses, it’s just that one was loose and permissive enough to allow you to stack another one on top of it.

Just because AI doesn’t respect anything, and the people who run it are too stupid to realize that.

They’re perfectly capable of realizing it. How do you think it got built that way? They don’t respect anything, either.

If Tor became an even semi-popular way to maintain connection to ungated websites, I guarantee the relay count explodes.

The “are you affected?” section directly contradicts this. It outright states you must have password authentication enabled. Otherwise, SSH never gives you a chance to even attempt a password.

Sure would be a shame if they had to spend a ton of money sending techs all over the country to troubleshoot cameras with covers on them.

I don’t think Keepass does syncing. I just leave the database in my Nextcloud sync folder on my desktop, and I can always pull the latest version to my phone. It’d be a bit more annoying if I routinely added new entries from my phone since Android won’t let the NC app maintain bidirectional sync, but I pretty much always do it from my desktop, so the workflow is fine for me personally. If you do it on your phone, you can upload the changed version, but I think you’d have to do it manually, so not a great flow, but if it’s a rarity, not too big a deal to me.

Because Andy is the CEO, which means he gets to make a lot of the important decisions, not the people who don’t like him.

Even if you’re morally okay with Proton, the simple fact is that vibe coding the piss out of their product is going to seriously endanger the privacy and security that make Proton an appealing product.

I disagree. In an age of such intensely pervasive spying, I think it’s only prudent to use encryption wherever possible. I think in the next decade or two, we’re going to start seeing the full implications of all the spying and data harvesting, especially with fascism rising in so many places. Just because your host and the country they operate in are trustworthy today doesn’t mean that can’t change and make your logs worth monitoring.

I wouldn’t trust any company based or heavily operating in any country under fascistic leadership. Even if they’re doing their best to do things right, all it takes is a gag order alongside a subpoena or other “legal” demand, and they’re forbidden to tell you that they actually are required to maintain extensive logs.

Guess I need to make sure I get my email server up before the next renewal. Since that was recent, hopefully way before next renewal.

I’m not sure I can win the war for deliverable self-hosted email, and I send almost no email ever anyway, so I’m considering setting up a server that accepts email directly but relays outgoing mail through a relay that’s actually trusted by email providers. Can anyone recommend good relays for that?

I didn’t say 7.4 is slop. You spoke against people who are anti-slop, which generally suggests pro-slop.

Can’t wait for this anti-AI slop to stop.

I’ve seen a lot of pro AI posts, but I think this is the first one that’s actually pro slop.

so BSD probably wouldn’t be too drastic of a move, but then there’s the gaming aspect,

I tried out FreeBSD probably close to ten years ago now, and there was a compatibility tool for Linux software. I didn’t run it super long, but the gaming experience I had wasn’t very different from the one I had on Linux. Of course, ten years ago, we expected more breakage playing on Linux, so it’s possible I had more errors than I’d have gotten on Linux and just didn’t realize it, in which case, it couldn’t be that much worse.
