  • A few questions:

    • How many respondents where there?
    • What was the national break down?
    • How were the respondents selected? Was it random?
    • Were the questions phased universally across nations?

    Without these questions answered, it's hard to make out what to think about this statistic.

    As the saying goes: "lies, damned lies, and statistics".

    As it is, It would have been more useful if they allowed respondents a selection of choices. Such as: Don't Know/Care, Neutral, About Right and Not Enough.

    Maybe a meta study would have made a better subject for an article.

  • While it doesn't have well known artists, indie streaming Resonate prides itself as having the most generous (or at least, close to) payments to artists. To support this, it has an innovative payment model akin to higher purchase. You pay a little for the first listen to a track, but the price increases through subsequent listens. After 9 listens, you own the track outright. The total cost of ownership is around $0.9

  • Something's a bit iffy with this story. Surely, Germany would have made clear the particulars of the ban to Abu-Sitta. If this is the case, is this just a consciousness raising stunt on by Abu-Sitta? If he did know there are ways around the ban. Could it be that he isn't Schengen banned at all and France is using it as a pretext.

  • If the Palestinians show anything, no justice, no peace comes to mind. Say Brown does this assuming the fire is still there, people won't stay silent for long. If a party chooses the path of the authoritarian they need to carry a pretty big stick. And even then, as Israel keeps showing, it doesn't work.

  • Regretfully, I don't think changing Israel's course is as simple as pulling a lever. Antisemitic, or not. Though I get the general gist. Maybe we could improve the meme if we label the lever something. BDS, maybe. And the lever is rusted through so you really need to put your back into it.

  • I was on Mint over 10 years ago and noped out of it when an auto update borked my system. I can't remember what it was, and maybe if it happened to me today, I could work my way through it. But, as it stood at the time, I remember feeling rolling was the way to go.

  • Interesting, I see possible mutual assistance between this project and MisterFPGA, MARS and other FPGA projects. I guess the real difficulty is getting a fab set up to manufacture the chips. Once again, maybe they can take a page out of another project's book like armsid or, more aptly the Apollo line of computer upgrades and cycle accurately emulate the functionality in some other freely available silicon.

  • Slightly off topic, but wasn't there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.
