Didn't know about the flower!

Qualcomm didn't actually choose the name because of it (they choose it because it "sounded fast and fierce"), but now that I know about the flower I'll think of it instead of snappy dragons whenever I hear the SOC name.

That sounds a lot like "doesn't matter what words actually mean. I am right nonetheless".

...but I'm sure you'll have some personal definition of "semantics" that will allow you to say you are still right, just like you could say "beggars can't be choosers" in a context where no one is a beggar and there are in fact lots of viable choices.

Tangentially OT:

"Snapdragon X Elite"? Wasn't the name "Snapdragon" already enough cringe? :)

If you actually read OP post, they are not asking for the moon and... definitely non "demanding" anything.

IDK about each specific requirement (especially the "inactivity" one, but ... dude, just log in every 6 months), but I'd say a lot of "privacy" email providers should meet your needs.

Try looking into Proton mail (warning: you'll have to setup a local relay if you need IMAP/SMTP) or maybe search the web for something like "privacy email provider free" and look into the results.

It's pretty easy to find articles confirming the Musk/Signal thing https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=musk+signal&iar=news&ia=news

Of course most of the rest is speculation, but... the article seems honest enough about it?

How does it compare to crypto?

vi or vim [...] :q to quit

you are depriving OP of an experience there... getting stuck in vi is a rite of passage nobody should be denied (but, alas, a lot of distros carry nano nowadays)

You should ask the seller to make sure, but I'd assume those cards will require KYC on activation? I mean, if Romania requires KYC it's difficult to think someone can sell anonymous cards on ebay.

Same here, until I read OP's intentions.

Writing stuff to trigger people is the definition of being a troll (well, one of the possible definitions).

It's worth nothing that a mediocre troll can sometime pass for a comedian.

Edit: the linux-company thing is just for triggering people, sorry I didn’t know it was this effective.

Errrr... why would you try to trigger people, especially while asking for their help? Don't you think it's plain rude?

Most newbies would have a hard time and most experienced people would grab the "unofficial" non-free image for installing just in case and then disable non-free if it wasn't needed.

I've not verified this, but does the installer actually install the non-free firmware if it's not needed?

No idea but I found this: https://github.com/containers/podman/issues/20839

Note that even most “permissive” licenses are by definition conditional

You do realize the whole discussion is about what terms to use for differentiating between GPL-like "restrictive" licenses and BSD-like "permissive" ones? Saying that both are "conditional" really doesn't help anyone.

(also "by definition" the license's grants may be "conditional", not the license itself - it's not as if it looses validity under some condition)

Man, people do love arguing about words without providing (or looking up) their definitions.

Does the GPL being non "restrictive" mean I can use GPL code in my proprietary software? What word that doesn't offend you should I use to describe this fact?

This is as useless as the git main/master branch debate a while ago.

but this most likely is against the ToS of every anime tracking website

AFAIK scraping publicly accessible websites is fine in most countries (IANAL, look into it)

Windows is getting worse and worse

and so is the press :( websites and content creators enshittification is as bad as other companies (one could even argue they have been among the first to do that)

You seem to be describing the US system (or some other common law one... but I believe district attorney is a US-specific term?)...

IDK about other EU countries (I guess they are all the same in this regard?), but in my Italy the public prosecutor has zero discretionary power when it comes to indictment and must, per the Italian Constitution, proceed based on the investigation outcomes. So there is no "help me catch the bigger fish and I'll only charge you with some minor crime" like in the movies.

So... yes, what you describe can happen to anyone, but it can't happen just anywhere :)

To be fair: previous generations of police officers, back when most people used phones, have made extensive use of wiretapping (and current policemen still do, of course).
