If morality is tied to law,

How cute how innocent you are.

Oh no I do when it comes to that. The problem's (usually) not there.

The problem mostly lies with distro packagers. They often ignore the "this dependency is optional" part and make the dependency mandatory. Back in the day Fedora was terrible at packaging new stuff (trying to remove PulseAudio would also try to remove Libreoffice, for example), nowadays it seems it's Debian's turn at the horribad packaging wheel. So in order to "use an alternative", which would actually be the exact same software I'm already using except correctly compiled and packaged, I'd have to jump distros.

One notorious example is NetworkManager, which in Debian requires systemd for some weird-ass reason even tho you can run a correct Debian system without systemd. The Antix people compile it correctly, with systemd as optional / shim'd, but that means having to add Antix's repo to Debian to use NetworkManager in Debian.

But hey, if you don’t like it, just don’t use it. It’s that easy.

Not when you are forced into it because it's made a dependency of something you use.

That and the Gnome devs carry a lot of anti-consumer opinions and practices in particular since Gnome 3. Must be something to do with the Microsoft influence from around that time.

I hate this recommendation because Matrix is just a terrible user experience.

Heck agree. In my experience, IRC is a much better alternative.

Word, Rust shills are the most annoying and shitting of the programming language zealots I've seen since the Java Enterprise shilling of the early 200xs. WHat's worse, their memes aren't even good, unlike the JS memes.

Not sure if joke but I once found a The The Matrix Matrix (the The Matrix movie but entirely visualized as Matrix code) torrent.

It is dangerous when the population of pirates to increase, because this will cause things and create domino effects which will put us at nash equilibrium due to more regulation of piracy and a crackdown of piracy,

Nuh-uh. DRM and draconian laws were already being passed own without piracy, or when piracy was at a low. This also falls into the fallacy that DRM and laws on that line are exclusively the result of piracy - they are not, they come from military / corporate authoritarianism, see for example the effects of 9/11 (the US one, not the Chilean one, although they do also are related in this respect).

tl;dr: Everyone benefits if more people pirate.

But the problem is if piracy become too big, the corporation s will no longer have enough incentive to make the product/servixe at all,

Then let it not be corporations who create. In the end, it is artists who create. People were pretty fine create things in the 1050s, after or before the Arbitrary Christian Epoch, without big corpos around.

Déjame ver... ¿"el censo es una herramienta de los comunachos para que la ONU pueda agendar sus vacunas falsas que hacen a al gente gay y ver en qué sectores tienen que instalar sus antenas 5G de noticias falsas"?

But their choices do impact other projects. I may not use Gnome, but the choices made on theming (or lack of) , for example, now also effect XFCE.

Not that it's not but, with the prices of tech, what is the "profit" here? At least around where I live, $5 gets you a only barely-decent USB stick.

A friend has a corollary for that: "Don't attribute to stupidity when it can be attributed to capitalism".

In fact, files end up corrupted,

Backup often and check the backups.

data is improperly transferred

Backup often.

hard drives fail

Backup often.

formats change

Use an open format. For extra sure, make sure it doesn't carry DRM.

work simply vanishes.

Uuuuh don't be corrupt?

Like, really, it's not like one's asking too much.

If that were true we'd see lots more charges on corporate stuff.

Actually I do; it's the {} that initializes the lambda, and the parenthesis after invokes.

That said, it would have been fun.

Maximum optimization!

...isn't the good idea here to not enhance visibility of disinformation?

C:

Problem → return Solution;

C++:

Problem →

    
const [auto]&& (Problem&& problem) noexcept(noexcept( Solution<Problem>{}(std::forward<Problem>(problem)) )) { return Solution<Problem>{}(std::forward<Problem>(problem)); } -> decltype( Solution<Problem>{}(std::forward<Problem>(problem)) )

  

As someone who has a V1, I'd say: only if you can somehow get it for free or for a very low price. (you mention €300, I'd say I wouldn't pay more than €180 for it in 2024).

The hardware is dated (the GPU was half-deprecated when it came out, and that's the only part of the hardware the scene got to break through), your SD card port is going to have a notoriously low life expectancy so you'll be relying on a PC or an Android with USB to perform any important adjustments, who knows what conditions the unboxed ones have been kept in since the Old Times, and for jailbreaking it you have to check that you can get one on low enough firmware to jailbreak software-only. Otherwise you're having to get into modchips, RCM clips et al.
