  • Any leader who has to sign legislation stating they have lifelong immunity from prosecution, probably needs to be prosecuted for the rest of their long life.

  • No, it's just saying "NOTHING" is written in stone -- which it obviously is here, on the first line.

    The fact that "IS WRITTEN IN STONE" is also written in stone isn't mentioned, probably due to lack of space.

  • ...until Google kills the feature, as they nearly always do.

  • Fine with me, I don't need those :)

  • So surely there must be an easy way to cut/disconnect whatever antenna(s) are used for OnStar, LTE, Bluetooth etc. in modern cars? I know when I finally am forced to get a car with always-on systems I will be looking for ways to disable them.

  • But enough taxpayers leaving can have a real effect. Enough people leave, the government notices and has to ask 'why?'

  • If the research was government-funded (eg. Universities) why doesn't the government get the patents in the first place? That would help cut such shenanigans off at the knees.

  • Paul Manafort, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, Erik Prince ... just my speculations.

  • Oh I hadn't thought of how I'd installed Vivaldi. I always just choose the basic install -- no Vivaldi mail, ad-block, etc. Just their core browser. Then I install uBlock Origin on top of that. And, so far, I've never hit the new Youtube adblock-block.

  • I'm waiting to see Youtube block me using Vivaldi w/uBlock Origin on Linux so far. It hasn't happened, am I accidentally doing something awesome to evade their traps so far?

    Vivaldi's Chrome-based, so I would presume the same tricks to detect uBlock Origin on Chrome itself would work, or is Vivaldi doing something sneaky?

    I have no problem jumping to Firefox the moment they do it -- I just haven't had an issue yet. I should add I'm in Canada, perhaps that is a factor.

  • Young whelps! I could debug my programs by putting an FM radio beside my rig and listening to the interference :P

  • :) I'll try it again, promise. I just didn't have a good experience around two years ago. I do hear it's much better now.

    I'll confess I've avoided systemd to this day however. Devuan/Funtoo are fine, and I don't miss any of the supposed improvements systemd brings. So I'll probably be rocking Wayland/open-rc or Wayland/sysv-init until I drop dead.

  • From what I've read over the years, he's hella-fired as soon as this pic gets around.

  • I'm starting to think Wayland is the systemd of desktop graphic environments. Might be amazing eventually, but pushed onto the community too soon by opinionated devs who have fallen victim to the second-system effect.

    Mod me down, don't care.

    Edit: Woohoo, into the ground! Mod me down further, and I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine :p

    I don't troll often, but when I do.. it's about Wayland and systemd. Nyah nyah.

    Honestly if Wayland will work 100% on my next setup and apps appear as expected, I won't give a damn what system I'm using.

  • So is it a priori illegal in the UK to walk around on public sidewalks wearing a Guy Fawkes mask?

    Time to recreate that crowd scene in VfV ...

    "Oh, me officer? I'm on my way to a masquerade ball. It happens every day, runs 24 hours."

  • Ms. Frizzle is tired of schoolboard bullsh$t and budget cutbacks...
