"far-left"?

Pretty sure the people counter protesting cover a LOT more of the political spectrum than the people under the illusion that schools are telling 6 year olds to get sex changes. But then again, this is Rebel News, the Canadian equivalent of a truth social post

Most distros have a checkbox during the installer that will add non-free components. It's a separate EULA you need to agree to so they can't do it for you.

You may not care, but the distro provider's legal team absolutely cares about not getting sued for automatically bundling components with an incompatible license agreement

Multimedia codecs have a different license agreement than the OS so they aren't bundled by default for a reason

gay tinder ripoff

Grindr came first

They use the phrase but never associate it with the acronym OR explain what it is. It's shit writing.

There is nothing in the RTA that says they can't do this

In this case, by "audit" it was more of a metaphorical "here is our setup, do we plug this into slot A or B, we don't want to read the 300 page manual", so 1 hour was literally all it needed

Spoiler: I ended up reading the 300 page manual, it took a week. That was 3 years ago and we have never touched it since

Very much 4

We wanted to get an engineer to audit something we set up, talking like 1 hour phone call, maybe 1 hour of work beyond that if something needed to be adjusted

We wasted like 4 hours on the line with different agencies (talking to sales people) who wanted to connect us with a DIFFERENT agency to do the actual work, who wanted us to sign a 3 year service contract.

Like no, "please just let us talk to one of your senior engineers and bill us $500/hr for his time"

Random ebay junk is both better and cheaper than a raspberry pi

A PC drawing 150 watts will burn through $225+ in electricity a year. The raspberry pi maxes out at like 6 watts.

RPi is the best performance to operating cost you are going to find if you don't need more juice for high intensity stuff (transcoding, etc)

Rsync checks the files and only issues the copy if the file size/modified dates are different by default. Ignore existing will not overwrite a changed file afaik.

If the file is large it only sends the changed blocks (e.g. you have a 100gb database and only a dozen 4mb blocks have been modified it won't send the full 100gb across the network)

they claimed to have proof for iirc hundreds of times cheating in online matches!

They merely stated his play was, across many games, indistinguishable from a cheater, they didn't have actual hard proof that he was cheating.

If they had actual proof they wouldn't have needed to settle

How are they gaming the system if they are wasting their own money+resources for no benefit?

Should we keep people from dying from lung cancer because they smoked? Should we not try to help people dying from liver disease because they're alcoholics?

When the smoker/drinker fully admits they have zero intention of quitting, I would much rather give my lung/liver to someone who isn't going to get a full, healthy life out of it, rather than someone who clearly would rather continue abusing it and burn through it in a couple years.

Organs are a limited resource, that's why there is a list - and we should absolutely dedicate limited resources to doing as much good as possible

Or the units of measurement would be "half of big pot"

Proof of stake has basically zero impact on storage prices. The demand of every validator requiring a 1tb harddrive is substantially less than every miner requiring SEVERAL nvidia graphics cards

Hockey fan from Toronto probably

It's a good thing removing ads for a lifetime is only $20 and not $135 like you are saying
