It's a thing with certain laptops, where their secure boot certs are outdated or something. Not really anything you can do to fix, but it doesnt mean anything in practice - I never had issues with it after running linux across multiple distros about a year on my Acer nitro 5.
only thing you might have issues with is using secure boot in certain distros but if you don't have problems then no need to worry
his last comment before closing the thread suggests that "99%" of the code is controlled by him and other paid contributors. still seems like you'd have to manually contact the last 1% to relicense their code.
Agreed. In this case too it's good to know that W4 Games and their Godot work is primarily related to porting Godot to consoles, since the open nature of Godot prohibits them from integrating proprietary SDKs without a third party like W4.
Not that I dont dislike electron anyway, but I'd hazard a guess that most of the jank we see in electron apps is more to do with javascript and overengineered web UI frameworks than the browser runtime. If it runs like shit in a browser then it wont be much better ported to electron.
I mean, at least for Linux, I was under the impression that the disk cache only stores programs that have already been loaded once, since there's not much point loading something from disk to cache if you never actually load it later.
Following is a generally devil's advocate point here, because in principle I'm wholly supportive of jury nullification:
The idea of the jury being able to cast verdicts on conscience rather than just evidence does also, however, risk personal bias influencing trials regressively. It is not unknown for systems to acquit or convict someone based on racial prejudice or media coverage of a case, which is why even a sniff of conscience voting of any kind is heavily policed.
There's a whole host of selection processes that try and limit bias in trials while keeping the state from totally controlling the process, but jury duty is one of the only examples of direct democracy under most neoliberal capitalist systems; that comes with all the risks and caveats that it would when applied to any other aspect of our social and political existences
I fundamentally distrust the language package repos with a high share of unlicensed libraries in their repositories. It's a basic legal step for protecting the software supply chain and supports the open source community.
Also, it feels like a sign of immaturity from a package repo to have many unlicensed packages since most serious maintainers see a license as an important step in declaring your software "ready" for distribution. You just can't assume a package will be maintained if the contributors aren't going to do these basic steps.
Dart's package manager actively penalises packages without a license file (at least when browsing on the website directory). Many languages, including those better at enforcing license declarations, would benefit from a similar feature.
I did a similar fucky-wucky before and honestly i just cut my losses and backed up the user data before reinstalling the OS from scratch. Took a few days of tinkering to get my system back to where it was but there's no telling what kind of system you'll be left with when you merge a known good image with a broken system.
Because languages need to be able to handle the very common edge cases where data sources don't return complete data.
Adding null coalescing to a null-safe language (like dart) is so much easier to read and infer the risk of handling null than older languages that just panic the moment null is introduced unexpectedly.
Normally the purpose of a block of code like this is to provide a fallback hardcoded value if the dynamic value from your API or whatever is null. Like, setting a default title for a page of a notes app if the user didnt set a title themselves etc.
So, b is very likely to be a never-null, hardcoded value.
This code can still be valid and return null if b is null too, as the other person said.
Because anything that can be used for privacy can be used to also commit crimes that the state isn't very happy about not being able to track effectively
That being said, I doubt the tracking is all that helpful as there are many people who use Tails as a legitimate system for preserving one's privacy and safety, such as in cases of DV, trafficking, etc.
Lol this one is actually illegal to tell others. In the UK you can be tried for contempt of court if you're caught telling people about nullification, and the juror's oath tries to explicitly discourage it.
That being said, what's to stop a jury in a case of nullification from... nullifying your case?
