I wonder what he had to give up in the plea deal.

This is the outcome of Capitalism . Even the new Open Access Operators are no guarantee of sustainable salvation. As Capitalism in a free market will always seek to acquire and merge. Or out compete and destroy competition.

That’s the trouble with public service broadcasters, they are not immune from political interference.

Jeremy Corbyn got it right, rather than make the controller a political position make them accountable to a independent body. This should go some way to repairing the BBC’s bias problem.

It won’t happen though they are too good a propaganda outfit. Who for? The establishment. Whichever party is in power. So, you want to change the BBC? You need to change government.

And for those that advocate abolition, at least with the current system, you have one lever of power. Good luck in influencing Rupert Murdoch to sway his reporting.

For personal things, computer, phones, etc. Big corpos cover this by a EULA. EULAs also covers forums controlled by the companies. For public places like websites, you can control search engines by using a robot.txt file.

I’m not so sure about that. That framing hazardously to the stereotype that the right are fiscally responsible as opposed to the spend crazy left.

it’s kind of ironic, Tories shopping at a store run on market socialist grounds: worker co-op.

I get the old adage: the older you get the more right you are. But, the richer?

I don’t tend to rely as much on Valve’s compatibility rating as I do ProtonDB’s. Even though it takes extra steps.

As Mr. Miyagi would say:

“Walk On Road, Hmmm? Walk Left Side, Safe. Walk Right Side, Safe. Walk Middle, Sooner Or Later… Get Squish Just Like Grape!”

Or, how about Yoda:

"Do or do not. There is no try”

What I’m saying either Linux rules the roost or Windows does. The “roost” in this example is your hard drive.

Probably the safest, most cost effective approach is to use WSL.

I wonder how they measured this. Could it just be that they get more utilisation? Even per capita is probably not adequate either. You would need a measure that’s an analogue of per capita. Maybe per result? For instance I could spend half an hour attempting to get just the right set of keywords to bring up the right result, or I could spend 5 minutes in a chat session with an AI honing the correct response.

Is Talos Principle 2 any good? I got stuck on the latter puzzles in the Road To Gehenna expansion and didn’t want to progress in case TP2 needs knowledge of this expansion.

After watching Nerd Cubed play Coin Pusher Casino, I also got hooked. Bit of a guilty pleasure, that. But, three things to recommend it, though:

1. Realistic physics throughout make it quite a technically advanced game despite it probably all it took was a toggle in Unity.
2. There’s a native Linux port.
3. Other than the initial outlay for the game the only resource you’ll expend is your precious time alive. So, there’s no freemium model where you pay to advance. And no payment for additional unlockable content.

You play tables to get credits, to get perks that make it more pleasurable (not to mention possible) to play tables, to … The very essence of an RPG grind. And a bit of a skinner box.

While it doesn’t have well known artists, indie streaming Resonate prides itself as having the most generous (or at least, close to) payments to artists. To support this, it has an innovative payment model akin to higher purchase. You pay a little for the first listen to a track, but the price increases through subsequent listens. After 9 listens, you own the track outright. The total cost of ownership is around $0.9

Exit nodes have traditionally been a weak spot for Tor.

Interesting, I see possible mutual assistance between this project and MisterFPGA, MARS and other FPGA projects. I guess the real difficulty is getting a fab set up to manufacture the chips. Once again, maybe they can take a page out of another project’s book like armsid or, more aptly the Apollo line of computer upgrades and cycle accurately emulate the functionality in some other freely available silicon.

Not always and not all the time. One only has to look at the many rightwing outrage, astroturf boycotts.

Slightly off topic, but wasn’t there a general purpose boycott app? One that allowed one to figure out the political stance behind products. Initially it was marketed as the anti-woke app, but further investigation showed that anti-woke was only one profile of many you could subscribe to.

Yeah and all relays in China are owned by the government. Besides TOR cannot put apps back in store. Hey, that rhymes!

To be fair, her full manifesto on her campaign site removes this gaff.

I suspect that she’s also toned down some of the more troubling messaging also.

But, the link is probably the first point of contact the electorate will have with her messaging so… yeah.
