Good news is, you will never be able to stop hobbyist 3d printing.

Sorry patent trolls, you can't make aluminum extrusion, stepper motors, an extruder, and a short circuit illegal.

Declarative, functional code is by definition much closer to ai prompts than any imperative code. Businesses are just scared of functional programming because they think that by adopting oop then can make developers interchangeable, the reality is that encapsulation is almost never implemented in a proper way and we should be instead focusing on languages that enforce better systems over slamming oop into everything.

Hell, almost every modern developer agrees that inheritance is just bad and many frown upon polymorphic code as well.

So if we can't properly encapsulate, we don't want inheritance or polymorphism, we don't want to modify state, what are we even doing with oop?

Sounds like nom union corporate software development.

Why would a system meant to maximize the profit of the bar block out their best customers?

They only want to block fighters and predators because it hurts business, not for any moral reasons.

She's not white.

That's not a USB drive, it's an adapter.

I think you mean swabbing the correct word.

Proton is not actually sandboxed the way an actual container is.

A) if the program running in proton was given root access in some way, say by tricking people into entering their root password for a claimed update, it would have complete normal control of your entire system just like normal.

B)apps running in proton still have access to the regular file system.

Wine isn't an emulator or a vm.

Neil and super talkative bob

Why do you say that? Can you explain yourself beyond just an absolute statement?

Weirdly enough, messages seem to be the only thing I see the general public being ok with diversifying.

Everyone I know uses different messaging apps, I have active conversations in signal, telegram, Whatsapp, messages(SMS), messages(RCS), discord, and matrix.

Maybe they try are trying to avoid some additional scrutiny by letting the union exist?

Intel's CEO is an engineer.

I just don't understand how someone can read all the warnings, get a driver's license (implying their knowledge of the rules of the road) and presumably have years of driving experience and magically think it's ok to just stop paying attention.

It doesn't matter if the car fully promotes itself as self driving, it doesn't matter if the laws surrounding it still require you to be present and in control.

It's no different than 1000hp cars, just because the car is marketed as such, doesn't magically make it legal to go 200mph.

You take them from one place to another, typically without their consent.

It's because computer science degrees aren't really programming degrees.

A computer science degree sets you up to be a scientist, most common dev jobs are just glorified Lego sets patching libraries together and constructing queries. There is skill, knowledge, and effort in those jobs, but they are fundamentally different.

Most common software dev jobs are closer to the end user than not.

This is so not true unless you are using some super stable old Debian release and aren't doing complex work.

Most DEs are super buggy, especially the darling child kde, which right off the bat makes things not super stable.

Additionally some of the most loved distros are rolling release and inherently unstable.

Hell, I use multiple distros daily, fedora and slackware, I also use windows for work, windows is by and large more stable in my experience.

Slackware has kernel panics monthly, kde crashes on fedora, Wayland has too many problems to count, meaning I have to switch to x sessions all the time.

Most GUI software I use has tons of visual glitches.

Yes it's tolerable, that's why I still use it, but I wouldn't exactly say it 'just works'

I would estimate I restart my fedora computer about 4-5 times more often than than the windows computer, and usually I have to restart fedora because of serious hard crashes (e.g. kde crashes so hard that I can't even switch to a tty, meaning I need to hard reset)

Governments are also hoovering up encrypted files and storing them for later so when the time comes, they can go and decrypt everything.

Gov seized your hard drive and you feel safe knowing it's encrypted, better hope the forgot where they put it in 15 years.

The image in the article shows the entire thing being 20cm and the actual 'blade' portion of the toy being around 13cm long. a little longer than the blade on a pretty standard multi tool like a Leatherman.

Is this seriously what the police were actually concerned about, I understand that it's different in the UK vs the US, but this is definitely overkill. This thing would need to be pinched between your thumb and index finger like a cigarette to be wielded and is arguably less dangerous than a fork.

But access comes with office, so if you have excel you have at least a software that is intended to be used as a DB (efficacy aside)
